Just like in the Wizard of Oz... "(We) always had it!" We just have to become in tune with our bodies again. It's very simple... Water out the wazoo, eat when truly hungry, stop when satisfied, exercise a reasonable amount. The hypnosis is supportive and reinforces the Guidelines AKA rules. I lost 4 lbs in the first two weeks eating non-diet food. For the first time in over 20 years, I didn't count points or calories and I lost weight without even exercising. The Facebook group is amazing and supportive. I love Easy Loss! Oh... And if u get in a pickle? Chill Pill app has "self sabotage" and "anxiety" and "self esteem" hypnosis sessions inside of it that are soooooo helpful. You have to pay for them but worth it! Just a few dollars!
Amazing!!

Had been feeling totally out of control with food! For a few years now I’ve been gaining weight and every week vowed that “this would be the day I start my diet.” Each time it was a failure and I kept saying tomorrow. Like an addict I had reached my bottom and was searching for anything that could help. I came across this app VGB and decided to give it a try. Almost immediately I noticed changes in my eating...smaller bites, really tasting my food and craving fruit!! This Is my 4th week and I’m down 15 lbs!!! I am a true believer. I love this program and how easy it’s been. If you want to lose weight or are feeling out of control with food please give this program a try!
Best weight loss ever!!

Back in November I heard an add on the radio for a local psychologist offering virtual gastric band hypnosis and I thought “I bet there’s an app for that “ and I found this one!! I can’t be happier!! I have lost 30lbs in the easiest non-diet way possible. I eat when I’m hungry. Stop when I’m actually full and the hypnosis sessions are super relaxing! I’ve tried every weight loss plan out there and always felt deprived and having to say “no “ to myself or “not right now “. Now I’m so free and I reached my 30 lbs by mid January and haven’t looked back!! I’ve recommended it to everyone I know! It’s sooo incredibly simple!! Best 8 bucks I’ve ever spent!!
Call me crazy

I’m a mother of two, could not find the will power to resist food. Gave this app a try thinking it wouldn’t work, but would only cost me $8 if it failed. I’ve never tried hypnosis before but I’m 100% a believer now. Took about two weeks for anything to happen but then I noticed I was less hungry and could resist food. After about a month I was eating smaller portions and had will power to turn down sweets (which is HUGE)I’ve lost all my pregnancy weight and feel fantastic. Plus this app puts me to sleep within 5 mins. Lol. This is a game changer people.
