EFT for Weight Loss - Part 2 - Health Plus Digest

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) has three remarkable benefits that sets it apart from other methods designed to help you lose weight. In the first place it helps to reduce or eliminate immediate cravings you experience 80% of the time. If you can eliminate grabbing that donut 80% of the time you will lose weight and won’t feel deprived. (1)

EFT can also help to eliminate overeating because you are trying to cover emotional hurts from past experiences. We all have experienced relationship hurts, job related stress and financial fears. EFT helps to bring about more peace that leads to better eating habits and subsequently a more normalized weight.

Weight loss is a matter of calories eaten vs. calories burned. If we burn more than we eat we’ll lose weight. But if we are eating more and exercising less because of emotional pain or cravings then the balance is tipped in other direction and we gain weight. Using EFT individuals are able to stay motivated to lose the weight and lose the fear that they’ll re-gain the weight that they’ve lost.

People who have used EFT to gain control of their eating habits have found freedom in the ability to eat the foods they enjoy while maintaining or losing weight. They are free from eating and weight issues for the rest of their lives – and isn’t that a great gift!
