Weight Loss Studies Show Hypnosis More Effective Than Behavior Therapy

This study compared the results of 2 groups of weight loss program participants. One group was guided and educated with behavior therapy, and the other group was given the same guidance and education via hypnosis. The follow-ups at 8 months and 2 years both showed that “although both interventions resulted in a significant weight change from the initial to final sessions, only the group that utilized hypnosis continued to lose a significant amount of weight.”
