Does hypnosis really work for weight loss?

My cousin swears by hypnosis for weight loss, saying she lost so much weight with it. I've tried everything else and nothing works for me. Does hypnosis really work for weight loss, or is it just a fad?

I once wasted months on alternative therapies for my health instead of going to a proper hospital, and I really regretted it later. Please get your thyroid and sugar levels checked by a doctor first before trying things like hypnosis.

Actually yaar, hypnosis just helps with your mind and junk food cravings, but it won't magically burn fat. You still have to sweat it out in the gym and eat clean. There is no shortcut, honestly.

I am so sleep-deprived that if someone tries to hypnose me, I will just fall asleep instantly! Honestly, save your money and just focus on sleeping well and eating less junk.

Scientifically, hypnotherapy only helps with behavioral modification and mindful eating. If you track your daily calorie intake on an app and maintain a deficit, that is what actually gets results, not hypnosis.

In my sixty years, I have seen many weight loss trends come and go. Hypnosis might help some people control their thoughts, but nothing works better than simple portion control and a daily morning walk.

My daughter tried all these online hypnotherapy sessions for weight loss out of frustration. It did not help much. What actually worked was when we started cooking healthy home-cooked meals together and went for daily walks.
