When using tapping for weight loss, it’s important to work on changing your relationship to food.

Your body has a physiological need for nutrition: it needs certain “building blocks” to do the job bringing energy to your muscles and organs, of repairing damaged tissues, replacing worn out cells, and so on.

But we also tend use food for other things that have nothing to do with nutrition. Here are some common ones:

• Stress relief
• Reward
• Stave off loneliness
• Filling emotional emptiness
• Protection
• Self-punishment

Decide where food has power over you and your life, and tap out those feelings and emotions. When you are no longer reacting to these negative statements, the next step in tapping to lose weight is to affirm what you will use food for.

Weight loss tapping affirmation – “I eat only healthy, nutritious food that will nourish my body and its processes, and I eat only the amount of food that my body actually needs. I find it easy to maintain my perfect size and weight.”

According to Dr. Carol Look, using EFT for weight loss takes some effort, and can be extremely effective for compulsive eating, and even metabolic disorders.

She first begins by addressing the addictive nature that many over-eaters share, and asks clients to tap 3 times a day (plus whenever a food craving arises) on a primary phrase that fits them.

“Even though I’m addicted to sugar…”
“Even though I binge on sweets…”

This experience tends to uncover some of the anxieties that drive the addictive behavior.

“Even though I eat to relieve stress…”
“Even though I eat when I’m lonely…”

And of course, there’s the guilt and self-loathing factor.

“Even though I feel guilty for overeating…”

When addressing events in the past, don’t forget to look at self-image, body shame, and family’s beliefs surrounding food. Be patient. More than likely, it will take a bit of time to bring these old feelings to the surface.

Next, try looking to the future. What sorts of feelings come up when you put yourself in the place where you have achieved your goal weight?

“How do you feel now that you no longer eat sweets before bed?”

“How does it make you feel that you are now down to ____ pounds?”

Try EFT tapping for the feelings that come up.

“Even though I have a block to weighing less than ____ …”
“Even though I binge every time I almost reach my goal weight…”

You should also use EFT for the unconscious blocks to losing weight.

“Even if I never lose weight…”

Let the phrases flow, follow them, and you will get closer and closer to dissolving the core issues.

The endocrine system still needs to be addressed, even when you’re using EFT for your weight loss program. The starvation/binge cycle of chronic dieters so unbalances the endocrine system that it’s almost impossible to put your physiology right again…

Until you give up sugar and food that turns to sugar quickly – anything made with grains and flours.*

When you do, it will be easier to get back on track. But the cravings can be fierce.

Lucky for you, you’re using EFT! Losing weight when you don’t know about tapping is not for the faint-of-heart.

You might want to tap for a slow metabolism.

“Even though my metabolism is slow…”
“Even though everyone in my family has low thyroid…”

The key to using EFT for weight loss is patience, persistence, and listening to your body for the clues it is giving you.

*Please also note that artificial sweeteners aren’t recommended, either. Not only do they make you crave sweets, there are well-known neurological and digestive side effects associated with them. Try Stevia, a natural product, if you must have a sweetener.

Evidently, Nelson’s friend hadn’t been dieting: she was using tapping techniques and had lost an excess 20 pounds in just a few weeks.

After sharing her secret with him, the two decided to collaborate and create a system Nelson could use in his practice to help his clients lose unwanted weight.

Well, his clients did lose weight. And they also lost a lot of other things: unreasonable food cravings, self-loathing, depression… they even lost their worry and fear about gaining the weight back.

All without forcing themselves to diet and exercise.

The 3 week program requires a commitment of a few minutes a day, and includes a bonus section on how to get rid of cravings for specific foods.

Sound to good to be true? Of course, no one weight loss method works for everyone, but Nelson has been so successful with his tapping weight loss script that he offers a 60 day, 100% money back guarantee.

So, what have you got to lose? (I mean, that you didn’t want in the first place)
