Book Reviews of Lose Weight Now (Diviniti)Book Review: Lose Weight Now Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Book Review: I Love This CD Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Book Review: I lost 6 lbs in the first week! I NEVER EXERCISED. Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say, of all the hypnosis cds I have tried, Glenn Harrold's are by far the best! I don't know how it works. Quite frankly, I can't remember what the cd says. I have been an emotional eater all my life. I can tell you that without being aware, my eating habits have totally changed. I no longer snack, my Snicker-a-day life long habit no longer exists, Thanksgiving was in no way a challenge. I walk by the candy aisle at the store with indifference. I do not consume any type of soft drinks. I truly have no want for any of that stuff anymore. I never exercise. I don't like to exercise. Also, I didn't listen to the cd any two consecutive days. I listened to it a couple of times. Of course I also purchased his excercise and energy motivation cds. I will be trying one of them in the next week or so. I know it will work. All of his cds have been 100% effective for me. Btw, when I had the flu followed by the swine flu, I never got the full-blown symptoms the rest of my family did. Whenever I started to get feverish and such, I listened to his "Heal Your Body" cd and the symptoms subsided for a time, I listened to that cd about 3 times. I LOVE IT!
Book Review: This Really, Really Works Summary: 5 Stars
Before listening to this CD, my mind was a battle ground between the desire for thinness and the lust for the fantastic-tasting goodies of life. It was diet after diet and failure after failure. After just one exposure to the hypnotic suggestions on this CD, I suddenly behaved in a different way. No more dinners of frozen yogurt and toasted raisin bread with a stick of butter. I now choose to eat fresh, colorful vegetables and rice. It isn't that I am forcing myself to do this, I want to do it. The ideas on this tape are very healthy, but what I value more is that the techniques are very powerful. Years ago, I consulted a hypnotist who made me a tape of our session, and it was nowhere near as effective as the deep trance and fantastic results I can achieve using this CD. I am very enthusiastic about this way of relating to food and instead of having a love-hate relationship with food, I now appreciate my subconscious mind for the help it is giving me in reaching the goal I really, really want--freedom from both diets and weight gain.
Book Review: Slightly disappointing... Summary: 4 Stars
This cd contains 2 separate 30-minute sessions. At the end of each, the listener is told to wake up, which was a disappointment to me, considering I wanted to use the cd at bedtime. This is my main personal objection. In addition, it seems to me both 30-minute sessions give the same general instruction, just worded differently, so I'm not sure why he's recorded two. Glenn Harrold's British accent is also a little distracting. A few minutes into the cd, it sounds a bit eerie with the deep echoing effect, but I've grown accustomed to it. In addition, due to his accent, I find myself unable to discern certain words right away. He also uses unusual phrases, which often leaves me thinking more about his speech than the actual message & instruction. Even so, the messages he conveys are positive, uplifting & confidence inspiring, which serve to build self-esteem. I've only had the cd one week, and I haven't managed to stem my holiday overindulgence, but I do wake feeling refreshed and very positive afterward.
