Weight Loss and Hypnotherapy

Why Weight Loss Feels So Hard

If you’ve ever started a diet, seen results, then watched the weight slowly return, you’re not alone.
In fact, around 64% of UK adults are currently overweight or living with obesity — so being a “normal” weight is now less common than it once was.

That doesn’t mean you’ve failed — it means you’ve been working against powerful biological and psychological systems.

Where Does the Weight Actually Go?

Have you ever wondered where the weight you lose actually goes?

Most people are surprised to learn that the majority of fat loss happens through the breath. When your body breaks down fat for energy, it releases carbon dioxide (CO₂) — which you then exhale.

Of course, some weight is also lost as water through sweat or urine, but your lungs are doing most of the work.
And much of that process happens while you sleep.

Why Sleep Matters More Than You Think

Sleep is one of the most powerful tools for maintaining a healthy weight — yet it’s often overlooked.

During sleep, your brain and body rebalance key hormones and carry out essential repair work. You become:

• More sensitive to insulin, which helps regulate blood sugar
• More responsive to leptin, which signals fullness
• Less reactive to stress hormones that drive comfort eating

When you’re rested, you have more energy and control to make positive choices during the day.

How Hypnotherapy Supports Sustainable Change

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps your body and mind return to a natural state of balance. By guiding you into deep relaxation, it calms the nervous system, improves sleep quality, and supports the healthy habits that lead to lasting change.

Over time, your brain builds new, more helpful neural pathways — and the more you practise, the easier it becomes to:

• Reduce emotional eating
• Feel more in tune with your body’s needs
• Make healthier decisions naturally
• Build a positive, compassionate mindset toward yourself

Progress doesn’t have to be perfect — it just needs to be consistent. Every small change builds momentum.
