Battle of the Bulge

"I really feel like I am winning the war on weight."

The total weight loss of my patients is the equivalent to two 16ton tanks!

Working as a hypnotherapist has given me a kick out of life; not only do I get to witness change in a patient’s health and lifestyle; but to be with them from the very beginning and to help them succeed in their weight loss is utterly satisfying.

But it’s not losing the weight which people struggle with, it is having the right mindset to keep it up and stay that healthy weight. I have helped almost 3,000 people shed a minimum of 2,000lbs in sessions, when totalled up is 61,000lbs – which is the equivalent of two tanks.

I am so proud of all of my patients of what they have achieved from their weight loss and am pleased to be there in the process.

Patients in a recent survey have recorded since their weight loss they have noticed: reduced blood pressure and blood sugar levels, an increase in confidence, self-esteem, happiness, more enjoyment of exercise, stress reduction, loss of anxiety, sleep improvement, increased mobility, a loss of depression and in several cases, an increased libido.

Train to be a hypnotherapist - what's it actually like?

A lot of people are interested in hypnotherapy these days and this has resulted in more people wishing to not only understand the theory behind how Clinical Hypnotherapy works but also having a desire to become Hypnotherapists themselves.

Yet for many, it's still a step into the unknown and therefore I'm pleased that one of my Students (Andy) has written in his blog all about his experience. He attended the first part of my current Intensive Hypnotherapy Training course (fully certified by the GHSC) and you can find out how he has been getting on by clicking below:

Virtual Gastric Band Workbook now for sale on Amazon

I'm really excited that the Virtual Gastric Band Workbook is now for sale on Amazon.com.

Although at the moment it's not available on Amazon in the UK we're working hard on it to get everything available as soon as possible.

You can find full details of the book by clicking on the following link:

The Sheila Granger Virtual Gastric Band Workbook.

Here is the synopsis of the book:


This workbook outlines the basics steps to Sheila Granger's Virtual Gastric Band Weight Loss Program. While this book shows the basic program it is best done in conjunction with the mental training that sets up an environment of freedom. The mental training aspect of this program provides the support to free the individual of the deprivation and the restrictions that most feel when they are required to follow a diet.

What do Hypnotherapists do? (Daily Mirror article)

In a recent article in the Daily Mirror, Miriam Stoppard wrote an article explaining exactly what Hypnotherapy is:

"Rather than putting people into a deep trance, hypnotherapy works on the theory that when you’re deeply relaxed you’re susceptible to suggestions that can help you do something positive, like giving up smoking or overcoming a phobia.

A hypnotherapist will teach you how to get into this state of deep relaxation through breathing techniques. Once there, you can use visualisation to help you achieve your aim, like flying without fear.

You need five or six sessions to help you learn these techniques."

It's good to see a major UK Newspaper explaining in the simplest of terms what we, as Hypnotherapists, are trying to achieve. In my opinion, Hypnotherapy is the safest method of losing weight on a long-term permanent basis and studies of my Virtual Gastric Band have demonstrated a 95% success rate.

Speaking at the Australian Hypnotherapist Association

I have just returned from Australia where I spoke at several seminars on the success of my Virtual Gastric Band therapy.

This proved to be a really successful trip and rose awareness of the therapy to such an extent that we were even featured in the Australian press. You can read all about it in these clippings from the Melbourne Observer.

My visit was so successful that I've been asked to return and the following dates have been pencilled in:

8 / 9 October - Sydney
11 / 12 October - Adelaide
14 / 15 October - Perth

More information will follow in due course. I was also fortunate to have received the following video testimonial from The National President of the Australian Hypnotherapy Association, Antoine Matarasso:

Ten Weight Loss Myths

I came across a simple article on the NHS Choices website, all about 10 x weight loss myths and thought I'd pass it on.

It really hits home to me of the pain and struggle some people go through in order to get to the shape and size that they're really happy with and that's why I really do question whether diets work or not?

Anyway enjoy your read: Ten Weight Loss Myths

Obesity Doubles

A recent article in the Burton Mail states that Obesity Surgery has doubled in the last 12 months.

Not all people want to face the risks or trauma associated with surgery however, which is why Hypnotherapy, in particular the Virtual Gastric Band is becoming so popular. To find out more or simply sign up for free information, visit http://www.sheilagranger.com/virtual-gastric-band.php

Do diets really work?

We've all tried different diets in the past - whether its a simple weight loss plan, law carb diet, low-fat diet, low GI, or one of the many different types of schemes aimed to helping us lose weight.

But let's face it, the truth of the matter is that the vast majority of people either fall by the wayside or simply end up putting the weight back on - that's why there are so many diets in existence! Here's an interesting article which goes some way to explaining why diets don't actually work.

That's why the Virtual Gastric Band has been developed - to help you lose weight ...... without dieting. More and more people are now seeing the benefits of hypnotherapy in assisting weight loss.
