Hypnosis for weight loss involves using hypnotherapy to help an individual change their eating habits and relationship with food. A hypnotist may use suggestion and visualization techniques to help the person envision themselves achieving their weight loss goals, and to change negative patterns of behavior related to food.

Some studies have suggested that hypnosis may be effective in helping individuals lose weight, but more research is needed to confirm these findings. Additionally, it should not be considered as a replacement for healthy diet and exercise.
