EFT Can Help With Weight Loss

It’s no secret that weight loss is somewhat of a cultural obsession, with new diet fads and gimmicks being created every day. So often people start a new diet and exercise regimen with the hope of reaching their goal weight, and yet they somehow fall short despite their best intentions. Everybody is different, and there is no one size fits all approach to weight loss that will miraculously help you shed the weight.

A common problem associated with weight gain, and in turn the prevention of weight loss is emotional eating. Emotional eating involves turning to food for comfort even when you’re not hungry or experiencing intense cravings. It is a way to temporarily relieve negative emotions like stress, boredom, sadness and loneliness, and is often a subconscious act. Over time, your food cravings increase when you’re feeling bad as a way to cope and feel better, and can lead to overeating.

Emotional eating can be triggered by life events such as relationship troubles, work related stress, financial trouble, health concerns, and more. Unfortunately, in the case of emotional eating, while the negative feelings may be temporarily relieved through food consumption, they do return and often with the added guilt of falling off track with weight loss goals. This can make it very difficult to feel healthy and continue to lose weight.

Our emotions are highly connected with our beliefs about ourselves, which include our feelings about our weight and self-worth. They heavily influence each action you take, which is what is happening with emotional eating. Anger, anxiety and stress impact your body in a way that can cause the release of excess cortisol which is known as the stress hormone, and overproduction of cortisol can lead to weight gain.

There is, however, a technique that everyone is capable of incorporating that can help them overcome their weight loss hurdles and be on their way to a happy and healthy body. Emotional Freedom Technique Tapping (EFT Tapping) can assist you in ways that simply eating the right foods and exercising cannot accomplish alone. EFT Tapping has been shown to reduce stress hormone levels which can have a huge impact on weight loss.

By incorporating Emotional Freedom Technique Tapping into your life, you become capable of eliminating harmful self-beliefs and clear the way for your mind to start working with your body instead of against it to help encourage weight loss. As you tap on the various acupressure points throughout the body while incorporating sensible thoughts and positive affirmations you send calming signals to the brain that can help dissipate cravings and remove the physical urge to binge and eat emotionally.

While you can’t simply utilize tapping alone and expect all your weight to melt off, EFT Tapping is a valuable tool you can add to your weight loss routine of a healthy diet and regular exercise that just might be the trick you need to get past your plateau, lose the weight you want, improve your self-image, and achieve the healthy body you desire and deserve.
