Lose Weight Now

I bought this CD a week ago on a bit of a lark. I was skeptical, but thought I'd try it just to see... I have been falling asleep to it every night with my walkmann on, (I don't have TIME to do this except when I go to bed at night.) I have already lost 4 pounds without feeling like I am on a weight loss program of any kind. I believe that it does work, in that it instills a desire to eat smaller portions of healthy foods. Follow the instructions. Don't listen unless you are where you CAN safely fall asleep, because it does lull you to sleep! I plan to continue with it until I am down to my goal weight, and then I will switch to the "keep the weight off" track for a while. I am very pleased with this purchase and would reccommend it to anyone who is interested in taking a new and different approach to changing their eating habits. If you do try it, I am interested to see if it works for you, so I hope you post a review. GOOD LUCK!

Have been using for about two weeks. You have to be open to relaxation and willing to accept suggestion. I chose to customize a program for me, by loading the cd to an mp3 file, then using an audio program to take segments of the audio out. What I ended up with was a custom audio file that I was then able to run in an endless loop. I did not want it waking me at the end of every 30 minute session. I have two programs from Glenn Harold that I ran end to end, then loaded it to an mp3 player and set it to repeat so that as long as I wanted I could use the program... namely at night while sleeping. Normally as one sleeps there are periods of twilight sleep where we are most suggestable. This is how I use it. You are never in a deep trance, and when awake are totally aware of your suroundings. When the alarm goes off in the a.m. I wake normally. As far as the program itself goes, it is good. You get used to the british accent after a while, but is a little distracting in the beginning. Have been using my adjusted program for two weeks and have lost ten pounds, without exercise or doing anything artificial. I find that I tend to eat a little less and get full faster. Seems I lose patience sitting at the table too long, especialy if there is a lot of food. I wanted to see if the self hypnosis worked on its own merit before adding in an exercise program. My goal is to lose 1 pound a week. I have a lot to lose, but have not been sucessful in the long term with other programs I have tried. Every expert I talked to indicates that the bottom line is that it is all in the head. So, what better way to adjust than to change how I think about food and how I eat. So far so good.

Glenn Harrold is very hard to understand, so while listening to this CD instead of relaxing and hearing what he has to say I found myself trying to understand what he was saying, so this didn't do the trick. I will listen again to see if it becomes clearer since I only have listened to it once, but I have my doubts. I have another CD by another English author, and it's great, but this was very disappointing. Not recommended.

This is the first time I've bought a hypnosis CD. I read a book on self-hypnosis some 30+ years ago and dabbled a bit with it, but now that I need to lose 50+ lbs (I lost 75 lbs 7 years ago, but have gained most of it back), I haven't been able to sustain the concentration to do it. So I got this CD, the Mind Over Platter CD by Rosa Smith-Montanaro, and a general health-oriented CD from the Beverly Hills Hypnosis series. I also got the book, Monsters and Magical Sticks: There's No Such Thing as Hypnosis? by Heller and Steele. This one is the first CD that I listened to. The music that starts and ends the sessions is kind of 70's hokey, but is not present for most of the session. The speaker has an accent (maybe Australian or South African?), which is slightly distracting but nothing I couldn't get used to. There were a couple of places where I didn't understand what he was saying, but one of them I figured out, and the other was one of the "subliminal" suggestions that I recognized on the CD insert afterwards. In either case, on future listenings inability to understand wouldn't be an issue. My biggest problems were 1) I found his visualization path didn't match my own (for example, he suggested seeing yourself in a mirror, whereupon I saw myself naked or in my underwear; then he added "in your nice new outfit", which of course clashed with my own image); 2) for some reason, I found myself arguing with him in my thoughts - I can't remember even about what; and 3) his voice made me feel sluggish and heavy -- exactly the opposite of what I know works for me when losing weight. I did finish the session awake and alert and with no desire to eat, but I've been getting some of that over the course of the last week just in anticipation of the CDs' arrival. Plus, I've only listened to the CD once, since I so much preferred the Mind Over Platter CD.

I am 70 years old with almost 150 lbs. to lose. I lost 33 lbs. with a popular diet program last year, but my hunger kicked in and I gained about 10 lbs back in three months. Having tried every diet I can find unsuccessfully, I was desparate to find something to curb the hunger. The constant insatiable hunger is the main reason I did not resume the latest program. I was even rejected for gastric surgery due to previous other surgeries and my age. I know the source of the hunger is in my head but couldn't find any way to stop it. I had purchased this cd several years ago but put it away as I didn't believe in hypnosis, but as I was so desparate, I found it last week, put it on and lo and behold, after one session, my appetite has been curbed to a great degree. I lost 1-1/2 lbs. in one day. I am no longer able to just binge on anything I can find to stop the constant hunger. I eat a few bites and am satisfied for quite a while. I use the cd once a day to reinforce what he is programming into my subconscious. I am so impressed that I ordered 3 more of his cd's on finances, etc. Hope I am as successful with them. I love his voice and accent and find them very soothing.

I wasn't expecting much and that is what I got.

I have steadily been gaining weight since my marriage has been on the rocks and the more I worry about it the more I eat so much so I feel like i am addicted to food. Nothing fits me anymore and I have not got the money to keep buying BIG CLOTHES I have tried so many diets and failed, or lost weight then gained it all back and more. I was desperate, I cried myself to sleep sometimes, I saw some of the reviews and In desperation I tried this CD. I loaded it onto a MP3 player. I Didn't have much confidence in it but you never know, got to give it a try! I listen to it each night when I go to bed. I fall asleep after a very short while so don't know what this Voice is saying to me but I am sleeping so much better, I have noticed that I am not eating unnecessarily, I have actually been choosing to eat fruit instead of chocolate or stodge! My meal sizes I have had to reduce and have been making much healthier choices, My daughter took me out for Mothers day and looking at the menu I found myself choosing something with salad and as for the desert I would always choose something rich stodgy and usually chocolate. I found myself thinking, I DON'T FANCY THAT.....And I ordered vanilla ice cream......my daughter asked me if I was feeling OK or was I on a diet, to which I answered No but this is what I really fancied and what's more I really enjoyed it washed down with a glass of White wine . When I got home I didn't hit the biscuit barrel or the cake tin instead I had a cup of tea and went to bed and listened to my CD. I feel so much more content, not needing to binge on food and the scales are looking a lot healthier.......8 lbs to be exact..............I would recommend this to anyone,.......give it time It took a few days to take effect I have had my CD 2 weeks . The best tenner I have ever sent

This DVD was very relaxing, but hardly effective for controlling weight loss. Weight Watchers is the only diet programme that ultimately works

As a practicing Hypnotherapist, I think this book provides a very frank, easy to follow and workable programme for losing weight. I've looked at a few similar books that therapists have written, and i have to say that in comparison, Glenn's book is written in easy to understand language and its well structured. As i said, i'm a hypnotherapist, and i would follow and use a simliar approach AND more importantly, use similar techniques to Glenn. Well worth a read....

The quality of the recording is really good. It is really relaxing and useful. Have to listen to it regularly.

I used to be a huge fan of Glenn's work but recently I've been noticing that none of his hypnosis seems to have much of an effect on me...I have about 8 of his CD's. It's occured to me that they're all rather vague. Whilst he talks in very positive terms and is encouraging, he doesn't give any specific instructions. I think a personalised session with him might be amazing, but to cover everyone's needs on mass doesn't seem to be working. I think I was a fan of his work because I love his story about beating all the odds and succeeding in life, but sadly that doesn't make the hypnosis work (for me anyway).
