Special Report: Hypnotic Help

From low carbs and high protein to working out and cutting calories -- everyday someone is starting a diet.But for Midge Doyan of Wilmington and her sister Janet Keleher of East Hampstead, New Hampshire-- they got sick of years of weight watching.

Midge Doyan
"I'm constantly going up a size and it's scaring me."

And decided to try taking it off in a trance.

Janet Keleher
"I'm here today because I want to lose weight."

Like millions of people they first learned of Boston area hypnotist Dr. Tom Nicoli from a story on Dateline NBC. Where a Dateline dieter lost an astounding 40 pounds in 3 just months...

Dr. Tom Nicoli, Ph.D., Hypnotherapist, A Better You Hypnosis
"It's magical but it's not magic."Nicoli says hypnosis works by changing your internal programming--the subconscious...

Dr. Tom Nicoli, Ph.D., Hypnotherapist, A Better You Hypnosis
"We could desperately want to do something consciously and still not be able to do it because it's the information stored in the unconscious mind that stores the behavior."

Experts say when in a hypnotic trance, the subconscious mind is 88 percent more alert than in a conscious state. This allows for new suggestions to be accepted and unwanted behaviors changed.

Dr. Tom Nicoli, Ph.D., Hypnotherapist, A Better You Hypnosis
"Through indirect, direct suggestions and metaphors, the unconscious mind shifts information and makes changes accordingly."

7News wanted the skinny on dieting in a daze--so we followed Midge and Janet through their two-month journey.After their very first session both women seem revitalized and excited...

Janet Keleher
"You feel like you didn't want to go back to your bad habits."

Midge Doyan
"I tried to think of eating some pizza a little while ago and it didn't sound good at all>"

And after one month the results were eye-opening.Midge says to her surprise her emotional eating subsided and she lost 10 pounds without trying.

Midge Doyan
"I'm very positive and I'm not thinking about food."

Janet says she stopped obsessing about food but the biggest difference she saw was in her clothing--

She had dropped a full size...

Janet Keleher
"I'm happy with myself and its good to see progress being made."

As part of the hypno-therapy both sister's had three individual visits with Dr. Nicoli-- but were also required to listen to hypnotic tapes at home.

Janet Keleher
"I listen to it every night."

Midge Doyan
"I need those tapes right now. It just rejuvenates me."

Dr. Tom Nicoli, Ph.D., Hypnotherapist, A Better You Hypnosis
"Yes, we'll make behavior modification changes, yes we'll have a whole different emotional change, but reinforcement is necessary."

So after a total of 10 weeks-- two holidays and a vacation later-- the women weigh in.Midge lost a total of 15 pounds and 2 sizes...

Midge Doyan
"It was so easy. It's almost embarrassing how easy it is."

And Janet dropped two sizes but also gained something she hadn't planned on...

Janet Keleher
"I feel I am more organized I have more energy to do things."

The women say it' s not about a sticking to a diet -- it’s just the urge to over-eat is gone.

Midge Doyan
"I don't have a desire for certain foods I used to. I am not deprived I an have just what I want to have and just know now when to stop."

So if losing fat and getting in shape is your goal... when weighing your dieting options hypnotic help may be the key.
