Teammates in a dieting challenge significantly improved each other’s outcomes, suggesting that shedding pounds can have a ripple effect.

PROBLEM: Obesity remains a common, deadly, and costly disease in the U.S. It affects one in three American adults and its associated health problems, including heart disease and diabetes, cost the nation hundreds of billions of dollars each year. Can team-based weight loss interventions help?

METHODOLOGY: Researchers from Brown University analyzed the results of the 2009 Shape Up Rhode Island campaign, a 12-week online weight loss competition where participants joined a team and competed in three divisions: weight loss, physical activity, and pedometer steps. The contest included 3,330 overweight or obese people or 987 teams.

RESULTS: Competition outcomes were most determined by the teams the participants were in. Those who lost clinically significant amounts of weight or at least five percent of their initial body weight tended to be on the same teams. Members who reported more teammate influence also increased their odds of achieving this level of weight loss by 20 percent.

CONCLUSION: Social influences can fuel weight loss.

IMPLICATION: Being surrounded by the right people when dieting matters. Lead author Tricia Leahey explains in a statement that they may provide accountability, help set expectations of weight loss, and provide encouragement and support.

SOURCE: The full study, “Teammates and Social Influence Affect Weight Loss Outcomes in a Team-Based Weight Loss Competition,” is published in the journal Obesity.

Gluck Solutions focuses on hypnosis in NYC and gives free class how to lose weight and keep it off combining hypnosis, nutrition, exercise.  Hypnosis is a therapeutic technique that cures problems of all kinds by guiding your thought process to affect emotional change. By changing the way the brain processes information, you change your behavior for a desired outcome. Hypnosis is 100% safe, and you can terminate the session at any time since you are fully aware throughout the process.

Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change both structurally and functionally as a result of input from the environment. Plasticity can occur on the cellular level, which is involved in memory and learning, but also on a larger scale such as with cortical remapping in response to an injury. Dr. Gluck’s branch of hypnosis has science on its side when it comes to changing your thinking into a positive weight loss tool.

There are so many weight loss pitches out there that you might need to be under hypnosis just to get through them all! Each one tries to be more inventive and clever than the other, and let’s face it, none of their methods seem to work. So why believe us?

First of all, we have so much faith in our Weight Loss Program that we don’t need to scream about how much it works. Simply put, it does. Aside from Dr. Gluck’s tried-and-tested blend of hypnosis and life coaching, we selected the best and most effective parts of every method out there and applied it to our program. Our comprehensive treatment has 5 main components:

1. Hypnosis 

2. Personal Nutritional Plan

Weight Loss Hypnosis in NYC

Weight Loss Hypnosis in NYC

To put it simply, weight loss has as much to do with your mental state as your physical one.

Gluck Solutions focuses on hypnosis in NYC. The hypnotherapy weight loss program tackles your weight issues at their root. It is designed to change a person’s entire relationship with food through hypnosis and cognitive therapy techniques. You will be eased towards your goal weight and given the power to exercise personal responsibility in your life, not forced to do what some anonymous book or TV show tells you is best.

The hypnosis approach is based on the science of ultra-metabolism, which takes into consideration an individual’s lifestyle, blood type, age and food choice. You decide the areas you want to lose weight in and we will help you sculpt your body accordingly.

An individualized diet-plan is created for each person, combining low glycemic index foods and protein foods with healthy fats that will accelerate weight loss but won’t leave you bored to tears at meal times.

Along with the diet you will be provided with a customized workout program to sculpt your body in the way YOU desire. The workout can be done at home  and will usually take less than 15 minutes to complete each day. Soon your metabolic rate will rise as you begin to lose weight.

To accelerate the weight loss process, we also offer natural supplements that are manufactured and verified by Gluck Solutions. For more information on weight loss supplements, please click here.

There are so many weight loss pitches out there that you might need to be under hypnosis just to get through them all! Each one tries to be more inventive and clever than the other, and let’s face it, none of their methods seem to work. So why believe us? First of all, we have so much faith in our Weight Loss Program that we don’t need to scream about how much it works. Simply put, it does. Aside from Dr. Gluck’s tried-and-tested blend of hypnosis and life coaching, we selected the best and most effective parts of every method out there and applied it to our program.

Our comprehensive treatment has 5 main components:

1. Hypnosis Perhaps the feature that most sparked your interest, this is one of the most important parts of the program. One of the primary reasons diet and exercise don’t work independently is because they don’t address the mind part of the mind/body relationship. When you change how you think about food, exercise, and body image, you will change how you feel about these things. Your willpower will become your want-power. Weight loss won’t be such an uphill battle – it’ll be a desire.

2. Personal Nutritional Plan Dr. Gluck analyzes your history of food choices, portion sizes, binge/emotional eating, daily eating schedule, and water consumption. From there, he uses your blood type, glycemic index, and nutritional habits, along with the Ultra-Metabolism philosophy of Dr. Mark Hyman, to give you a plan of what you’ll be putting in your body. Dr. Gluck always consults with your physician before any treatment.

3. Exercise Routine After determining your body type, lifestyle, and time constraints, Dr. Gluck will give you a detailed and realistic exercise regimen in order to sculpt your body to its desired image.

4. Supplements You will receive all-natural, homeopathic nutritional supplements that will help the weight loss process. The four main diet pills are Celluloss, which breaks down cellulite, Hoodia, which suppresses appetite, Metacore, which increases thermogenesis (oxidation of body fat), and Ultrafin, which increases lean muscle tissue.

5. Group Dynamic In a group setting, you will have the support of others with similar goals. Dr. Gluck creates an environment where everyone is comfortable, and where camaraderie can emerge naturally. By all means, it’s a social group just as much as it is a weight loss group. Let your peers cheer you on! Bring friends! Are you going to hypnotize us as a group or one at a time? The hypnosis will be in a group format.

Dr. Gluck ensures that each member of his group gets the proper amount of attention for effective change. At no time will anyone feel short-changed by the group setting. How many sessions will it take? That depends on how much weight you’d like to lose. It takes less time to lose 5 lbs. than it does to lose 200 lbs. The groups will be revolving, so each group isn’t a closed commitment. You can stay as long as you’d like, there’ll be a group for you! What if we have private information that we don’t want to reveal in front of others? Each person is invited to email or call Dr. Gluck if there is an issue that demands privacy.

Weight Control Hypnosis and Eating Disorders: Hypnosis NYC

Weight Control Hypnosis and Eating Disorders: Hypnosis NYC

Weigh control and weigh loss hypnosis and eating disorders are becoming increasingly common, especially among women in the Western world where cultural expectations encourage them to be unnaturally thin. These disorders are complex conditions that stem from a combination of long-standing psychological, interpersonal, and social conditions.

Extreme dieting, binging, and purging may begin as a way to help some people cope with painful emotions by giving them a false sense of control, but ultimately these behaviors will in fact damage their sense of control; not to mention their physical health and self-esteem as well.
