Twenty years ago I used a Hypnosis tape that helped me lose over 40 pounds. I couldn't find the tape after years in storage and moving a couple of times. I decided to try this one. Not impressed, it was difficult to connect with the hypnotist because of a couple of reasons. I've heard other people mention someone's voice being annoying or not soothing. I found a little bit of that mix in this case. I also felt it took way to long to get to the deep relaxation area compared to the original excellent system I had used. In the end after faithfully using this program for 30-45 days, I may have lost 5 lbs, and who's to say that wasn't my own doing anyways. I know Hypnosis can work, this particular program didn't work for me. Maybe someone else will have success, but my advice would be to keep looking.
