"In two weeks I have lost 10 1/2 pounds. I know it is due to hypnosis. I have been able to stop snacking, to stop eating deserts, and to eat only things that are healthy. My appetite is much smaller and my desire and opportunity to exercise greater. Best of all, the uncontrollable urges I used to have are gone. To me, this is unbelievable. I never thought I'd be rid of them. I have tried various other methods to lose weight, but none of them dealt with the main problem -- which was always my thinking/beliefs! I felt individualized hypnosis was the answer , and am grateful beyond words to have the chance to finally have this help. Dr. Larry is a wonderful hypnotherapist, which made it even more pleasant than I expected/hoped. You can be sure I will tell everyone who asks how I've lost weight that I've done (and continued to do) it through hypnosis.
Thank you Dr. Larry!"
- Nancy Levy (Since then she's lost another 43 lbs!)
"My experience with your weight loss program was extremely positive. My first session was April 11, 2002. I immediately noted behavioral changes that contributed to a consistent weight loss. I no longer craved sweets late at night nor snacked between meals. The modification to my behavior included me exercising daily for the first time in my life. I sleep better and feel better than I have felt in years. Within three months I had achieved my goal."
- Kathleen Kushnir
"I am actually eating less and healthier. I was a size 44 and now I’m a 42. I’m walking and exercising more. I actually left food on my plate the other day. I’m doing stairs more often and walking from one client to the next instead of driving. I’ve also turned down junk food and moved to apples instead. It’s odd because I think, I like that… but I want something else.”
-Jack Patterson
"I am exercising more and stress eating has almost completely stopped. I am also exercising now every other day. In the past I tried several diets with no lasting results. I am amazed at how well it is working. It gives me a feeling of control over stress eating."
- Lisa Loving
"After just one time of seeing Larry, I feel more in control of what I am eating. And how much I am eating. Things that I could not wait to eat just don't seem to call out to me like they did. I have lost 10.5 lbs and am very happy with that. And I feel that I can reach a goal that I have set for myself. And know that once I get there, I will be happier and healthier."
- Jeanie Halley (Has since lost an additional 15 pounds and has kept it off for over a year!)
"Very comforting sessions. Progress was slow, but lasting. I have experienced some definite changes in my behaviors regarding my health."
- Daryl Pechet
Interview with Jean Sweet, weight loss client
In what ways have you improved since last session?
"My tastes have changed. I didn’t want to finish a brownie the other day. I’m never really hungry and I’m not going to that unhealthy cafeteria. I’m eating a lot more fruits and vegetables. I’m also still not drinking any soda. I think this is a huge impact on my weight loss."
What other treatments have you tried before hypnosis and did it provide lasting relief?
"LA Weight Loss, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig – none lasting."
What would you say to those thinking of trying hypnotherapy?
"It makes me much more aware and thoughtful about everything I eat."
Interview with Sally Bowring, weight loss client
In what ways has hypnosis changed your life?
"I feel clearer and calmer. I’m making better choices about food. I’m not looking at numbers or dieting. A voice just asks “are you hungry or just thirsty or tired.” I’m feeling better around food. Feeling calmer. It’s even coming out in my painting. I feel more in touch."
How do you think your condition would be had you not chosen hypnosis?
"I would have stayed frustrated and fat."
What would you say to those thinking of trying hypnotherapy?
"I think it’s kind of wonderful."
Interview with Patricia King, weight loss client
In what ways have you improved since last session?
"I am thinking about portions now. I was changed in how I looked at things. I’m walking back and forth from VCU now. I’m biking and even did it in the rain. I’m eating more vegetables and less of unhealthy foods. I take little pinches and am savoring sweets. I’m very proud that I’m not eating the whole thing anymore."
What would you say to those thinking of trying hypnotherapy?
"You have to be open to it and not afraid to change."
