Weight Loss or Weight Control has been taken over by the surgical world of lap band and gastro-intestinal surgeries.  These surgeries are life threatening, dangerous, and questionably successful according to patients and statistical studies.  The power of the mind, will-power, or psychological strengths to lose weight can be tapped however in the same way that these surgeries alter the body.  Your mind, through hypnosis, can help you manage your weight, lose your fatty excess, give you weight control, and no side effects.  Your mind can help you enjoy food without exceeding what your body can burn.  Eat what you earn! Or rather, eat what you will burn and only that amount!  The Virtual Gastric Band technique employs your mind, your subconscious, your suggestible emotional processes to create the same phenomenon as do these surgeries without the side-effects.  Mary O'Maley is an hypnotherapist, nutritionist and teaches alternative treatment methodologies to practitioners and the every day   person eager for self-improvement.  Mary O'Maley  has become certified in the VGB hypnosis techniques that have been tried, tested, studied and statistically proven to work to help you "shrink" your stomach, reduce your cravings, and reduce what you can ingest during any meal or snack time.  Dr. Francis, Psychologist & Hypnotherapist, can vouch for the ability of the our minds to grasp the power of hypnotic suggestions to change our habits, choices and longings.  Mary O'Maley, during this half-hour, will introduce the VGB method so that you can see how successful you can be at weight control today.  Drcarolfrancis.com, doctorcarolfrancis.com, bodymindsculpting.com, evolvingwomensconsciousness.com, 310-543-1824.   You can also reach Mary O'Maley at 424-781-0027 or www.hypnohalls.com vgbinla@gmail.com (Virtual Gastric Band with Mary O'Maley.
