Lose weight, feel great, get FIT FAST!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could lose weight while we sleep? Imagine just climbing into bed, closing your eyes, and the pounds just magically melt off. Well that actually does happen. Dr. Walter Moraes of Universidad Federal Sao Paolo, Brazil, presented the findings from a study he recently conducted which demonstrated that people lose weight three times as fast while asleep than while simply lying in bed.

Dr. Moraes found that the average weight loss during sleep was 1.9 gram/minute (3/4lb per hour), but only 0.6 gram/minute while lying in bed awake. It seems counter intuitive that while sleeping, where we seem to be doing less than at any other point in our waking lives, we could lose weight. Dr. Morales offered an explanation that the brain, which comprises only 2% of the body’s weight, is responsible for 20% of the body’s total energy consumption.

We know that in rapid eye sleep (REM), in which we spend roughly 25% of our total sleep time, the brain’s metabolic rate (the rate at which it consumes energy) is very high, even more than while awake. Although a person’s body temperature drops while sleeping, during REM it increases, and this too may cause increased caloric expenditure (as one person discussing this study commented, “it’s like a furnace switching on and off during the night”).

So how can we spend more time in the REM state? A simple solution is to use hypnosis. Hypnosis is essentially the artificial manipulation of the REM state. In fact, REM fluttering is one of the methods that hypnotists use to determine whether a subject is hypnotized. It is in this state that the subject is susceptible to hypnotic suggestions. Using hypnosis to assist a subject with entering the REM state (and getting a natural weight loss boost), the hypnotist implants positive hypnotic suggestions that continue to effect behavior changes long after the session ends. So if you are ready to lose weight and get more sleep consider investing in a good hypnosis weight loss program. You will utilize your body’s own natural weight burning system AND turbo charge your weight loss.
