I haven't listened to it more than a handful of times, so I don't know whether it would be helpful for weight-loss. Howell's CD may be good for falling asleep to, but I want to be inspired as I drift off to sleep. Just can't get past the dull sound. I found this subliminal message CD a little boring. This one didn't inspire me, just because there was no talking on a conscious level.
I have not been able to listen to it, so I don't know if it works or not.
She talks in that one - so that is what I expected with this. Aahhhh, humming) but no verbal speaking to help lull you into relaxing.
My interpretation of the instructions was to listen to track 1 while awake, and I just couldn't accomplish that. I found myself often thinking of other things I needed to do, and then would fall asleep.
This is not what I expected. singing (.
It did help me fall asleep though, but I haven't seen much change in my eating habits. I bought a CD of Kelly Howells a few years back thru Avon.
I only hear music, and some.
My three pieces of advice are: 1)listen every day. 3)Don't expect the CD to magically make weight fall away. I bought the CD about two months ago, and have been engaging in weight-loss behaviors for about six weeks. I have lost 20 pounds so far, and I'm still going strong. You have to engage in the appropriate behaviors. I also joined Sparkpeople.com, and have actually found myself able to follow the plan with a strange level of ease. I can't stand soda anymore. Then I suddenly found myself motivated to start going to the gym in the morning.
So, I bought this but I was very skeptical. I listen to the CD every single day - I head to bed an hour early, and listen to the first track while reading for 30 minutes. It tastes like liquid candy. I cannot recommend this CD enough. I am enjoying the taste of fresh produce in a way that I never have before, not to mention how great it feels to push my body past its comfort zone, and really feel my muscles engage. I am feeling so proud of what my body can do. Having lost 20 pounds so far, my skepticism has been pretty well put to bed. I was about 100 pounds overweight when I bought it, and I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try.
The messages it is sending are challenging some very ingrained subconscious ideas, and it takes time to change these. Then I put the book down, turn out the lights, and listen to the second track. I really can't think of anything that I am doing differently this time, as opposed to the zillion other times I have tried to lose weight, except for listening to this CD. I wake up motiviated every day. I might eat a couple of cookies, but never a whole batch.
2) Give it a couple of weeks to start working before you assess its effectiveness. But it will make it easier and more pleasurable to do so, at least in my experience.Good luck, and enjoy. If you can't make time to do this, it may not work for you. For the first couple of weeks, I just listened in the evenings without making many behavioral changes. Sometimes I drift off during the second track, but it doesn't seem to matter.
I might go out for a cheeseburger, but I'll still order it with a salad instead of fries. Obviously, I am doing all of this myself, consciously and of my own free will, but this CD is the only x-factor I can identify that seems to make it so much easier and more enjoyable than ever before to adopt healthy habits. I take a day off every week, where I eat whatever I want, but even on these days my behavior has been incredibly sane.
I guess that is something, right. Unfortunately, I still have cravings for sweets and fatty foods but I have been drinking much more water lately. I am going to continue to listen simply because I enjoy the relaxing music but I'm also hoping that some of the subliminal messages sink in also. I have been listening to this CD with headphones 2 sometimes 3 times a day while working and then I fall to sleep with it at night. Doing this consistently for the last two months has not helped me loose any weight yet, but I'm still hopeful.
