I don't write about this a lot but I should - more and more people are becoming diabetic and finding it hard to stick to healthy food choices, but only because they're trying to do it with willpower alone!
I KNOW WHAT I SHOULD BE DOING, BUT I KEEP DOING THIS!
Most people assume that if they know something, then they know it, and that should be enough. But appetite and cravings (the impulse to buy or eat something in particular, like cake) are all generated by the Subconscious mind, and it is completely unaware of knowledge held in the conscious mind. Unless someone has told the Subconscious mind AS WELL, then it will continue to react to cake the same way it always did, and then you're down to mere willpower (conscious effort) to resist. Good luck with that. It's really difficult to sustain!
WHAT DOCTORS DON'T REALISE
What the doctor or nutritionist should do, after explaining to you that managing your weight and your diabetes will involve some changes to your diet and your lifestyle, is go on to say this:
"Now, there is a hard way to do this, and an easy way. The hard way is to try to do it all yourself using just your willpower. The easy way is to ring Chris Holmes at Central Hypnotherapy, and in just one session he will not only make this really easy for you but much more successful, and even quite enjoyable!" That's what they should say. But unfortunately they won't, because they don't understand this any more than the average dude in the street. Doctors and nutritionists know nothing about the Subconscious mind, it's not part of their training.
The only people who specialise in getting detailed information across to the Subconscious mind are HYPNOTHERAPISTS. That's why we can produce results that no-one else can produce, which is why it sounds miraculous, which is why some people assume we can't be for real.
Not everyone thinks that, though. TK certainly didn't, when he came along last June for help with controlling his diabetes and eating habits:
Hi Chris,
I had a session with you in June for better control of my diabetes and weight loss. I have done really well since, my diabetes is under the best control for years and I have lost almost two stone!
