You may have used one of the many apps there are around to try and lose weight, the most famous one being ‘my fitness pal’.

Whilst I think that this type of thing is a very useful tool for weight loss, it has come to light that they can be dangerous for those people suffering with eating disorders.  There can be a tendency to become addicted to the app, and apparently some people are making it their goal to consume many less calories than their daily goal. When the ‘set’ amount of calories is actually already quite low at 1200 per day, this can be very unhealthy, particularly for teenagers who are still growing and who, therefore, sometimes need to take on board more calories.

On the plus side, for people who actually need to lose weight they do seem to be a good way of easily clocking how many calories you are taking in and therefore making sure that you don’t go over your daily allowance.

I still believe, however, that by tuning into feelings of hunger and just eating till satisfied is the best way to ensure a really healthy relationship with food. Hypnotherapy is able to do this by addressing emotional eating and getting you in touch with the part of you which actually knows exactly what to do in order to lose weight.

By the way a big thank you to the wonderful Sion who has built my wonderful new website which I am thrilled with and I think you’ll agree looks fab.

Hope you are all enjoying this lovely sunshine.
