I finally saw this show and it is indeed hypnosis.

A friend of mine, some years ago, was hypnotized by a peer (from grad school) as she wanted to lose weight. It worked. I used to share dinner hour with her family and mine for awhile to make sure she ate enough - she got thin indeed, but I guess it was a new concept back then, and the details weren't as defined for her by the student who hypnotized her like this guy has done on tv.

It's interesting, Doh, and I'm glad you noticed a difference.

Alot can be said about the power of suggestion.

I watched the program where he talked about using the right index finger and thumb and press when thinking of passionate, pleasant feelings and memories - in order to motivate people to use the sensation to get up and move - think physical, and i gotta tell ya - I was all over town yesterday, lol. I took care of all my obligations.

The truth of what he says vs. the weight loss industry - is that moving around, being physical, IS physical activity. You don't have to pay to walk, bend, reach, or join a gym, you have to move. He doesn't tell us what it is because that might affect his entertainment value, who cares, he offers simple truths, right?

I like him.

When is he on TLC again?
