Hypnotic Gastric Band

Audible Version on ipad app

Excellent course as usual from Paul McKenna. Alas it does not come in the stereo which would be nice for the dual suggestions (where Paul says different things to the left and right sides of the brain). It is still ok and the suggestions will go in as one. I got this with my audible credit and consider it well worth it despite the mono audio. Download the booklet, which you need to read a couple of times before doing the "op" , to your ipad by going to the actual Audible website ( using Safari) . It is there in your library. Click on the pdf and then you can choose to download/open in ibooks, Kindle, Evernote etc

Cannot rate this highly enough.

What did you like most about Hypnotic Gastric Band?

IT WORKS! I started using this audiobook and then, seeing the results my husband joined me. Without any effort [honestly] my husband and I are gently loosing weight without feeling hungry. Our diet has changed but purely our choices, they have changed naturally, we haven't cut anything out to aid dieting and deprived ourselves.

What did you like best about this story?

People keep saying we look well and the 'diet' must be working, the hardest thing to convince people is that it is not a conscious diet change, after listening to the audiobook, the changes come naturally. Now, we never feel deprived or decide not to have a cake because it's fattening, if we want it we have it [and we do] because overall our diet is so much better and our portions are automatically under control.

Have you listened to any of Paul McKenna’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to any other of Paul McKenna's other works but if I needed help I would definitely turn to him first.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

My husband is diabetic and the change in diet has caused him to discover a food which was causing him problems and his life has been improved tremendously because of this.

Any additional comments?

After a lifetime of dieting and being various weight's, it is wonderful to have the need to think about what I should and shouldn't have to eat taken away, we are eating healthily and it shows.

Download in "Enhanced" option

What did you like most about Hypnotic Gastric Band?

Other reviews have mentioned this isn't in stereo and impacts the effectiveness of the hypnosis as different voices are supposed to be heard in the left and right ear. I have overcome this by downloading into my iTunes using the Enhanced audio quality option. This is done by clicking on "expand" button in your library going to "download", in this window there is a button to the top right "audio quality", click the drop down menu for enhanced. This rectified the problem completely.I have just started this and can feel myself getting full very quickly. Will have to update on weight loss later.

How To Find The Booklet

For those people wishing to find the booklet. You need to go to the audible website, the full site not the mobile site, sign in, go to the library and click on 'pdf' in this title.

Incredibly effective

Would highly recommend! After just one listen, your hunger drops and the more you listen, the less hungry you feel. Wish this could be in stereo though, so that you could hear the different voices, the way they are meant to be heard!

Paul's voice is wonderfully relaxing....well worth the credit!

Worked for me

What did you like most about Hypnotic Gastric Band?

I bought the audio book in January and listened to it immediately. I found that there was no real change to my portion size but there was a considerable reduction in the overall amount I ate each the day. I decided to wait 6 months to do the review and during that time I listened to the hypnosis part about once a week. I have lost just over 2 stone in that time. This weight loss has been achieved with very little effort on my part. I am aware of what I eat, but I don't count calories. I feel that the weight loss is sustainable - unlike other diets I have tried. I find that I am only interested in food if I am actually hungry and I now have very little interest in sweet food.

What does Paul McKenna bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Listening to the hypnosis is an integral part of the process. I downloaded the information sheet which was fine and I also bought the book which came with a CD of the hypnosis. I felt that I needed to do a bit more reading than the downloaded information provided. I have been pleasantly surprised that the audio book did what it said it would. Although I've listened to the hypnosis over twenty times, I've never heard the entire recording as I seem to drift in and out of awareness. This doesn't seem to have made much difference to the end result.

Any additional comments?

I have recommended this book to a number of people who have commented on my weight loss. I have been surprised by how well it has worked but have no doubt that my weight loss is solely the result of listening to the hypnosis and following the advice in the book.

This works

I tried, the I can make you thin hypnosis before this. I loved the theory behind the techniques but it did not really work for me.
This was very different. I found from the first listen, my appetite dropped right off. I no longer think about food, diets or weighing myself all the time. However I did lose two pounds in the first week. Since then I am enjoying my food, eating slowly and the *need* to snack in between meals has gone. I also seem to crave lots of healthier alternatives, such as fruit and raw veggies.
I eat what I want, when I want. I just don't each as much and my portions are smaller.
I no longer weigh myself but my clothes are looser and I feel great.
I listen to the trance once a week but would recommend following the guidelines set down when you first start the program.

Hope this helps.

It's really working!

I listen to this most nights before I go to sleep although you don't need listen that often but I find it helps if I do, I've stopped snacking and ive not craved wine all week and that's unheard of for me! I normally eat and snack on and of all day but not this week plus lost 4 lbs . I can't recommend this enough but one thing I would say is don't start until you feel your ready to loose weight.
