Hypnosis is great but this app needs updating
When I tried this I expected to be giving it 5 stars but unfortunately I don’t feel I can fairly do that.
First of all the app itself. The UI is atrocious and I don’t say that often. The screens are garish and dated. A lot of the links are broken. For example, the Facebook link seems to lead nowhere and the instructions button on the hypnosis sessions landing page does nothing too. The instructions are on each individual session page but these extra redundant buttons add confusion and at first I thought you were supposed to do them right after each other.
A lot of the reviews are old and it makes me assume the app just isn’t maintained anymore which is a shame. A lot of the links that do work seem to lead to another programme about motivation - I guess by the same people so I feel like this has been dropped in favour of the new one.
The hypnosis itself is another thing. I’ve struggled with my weight for most of my life and I want to start by saying that (once I got the instructions right) this first 5-6 days were life changing. It’s literally the only thing that’s ever worked and if nothing else this app has made me buy into hypnotherapy so it’s worth it for that. I was sceptical before.
However the one issue with it is that you have to listen to the same one for weeks. And I totally get that repetition is needed and is expected. However it makes me wonder if you could still get the same therapeutic benefits while at least mixing up the phrasing occasionally.
In the intro bit she talks about how “you’re so focused on this that until I finish my sentence you don’t notice X and now you’ve noticed X you’ve stopped noticing Y.”
When I first did the session it was mind blowing as it was completely true it made me really trust the whole process. However now I know off by heart what is coming, it’s jarring because I am starting to notice things before she says I should.
Then there’s a bit about your toes and which bits are in your mental map. Again first time I was amazed as it was so very true and it really helped me engage with it. It was some sort of spiritual experience honestly the first time I did this. However now I’m starting to think “actually maybe I do notice each individual toe… or maybe I can’t really notice my little one”.
I think just from over saturation and repetition it’s become distracting.
I feel like it would be massively improved if you could have at least a few variations for each stage even if they follow exactly the same pattern eg noticing different body parts and later when there’s a visualisation involving putting food on a table, perhaps it could be varied to imagine the same kind of thing but in a different way. Even very minor phrasing changes would help.
The minimum you have to do step 1 for is two weeks and after a week I’ve started to struggle going back to it. It’s evident that the benefits only exist when you consistently listen because as soon as I stopped for a few days I lost it. However I’m finding it hard to get back into as all the things I mentioned make it harder to relax into it as I’m so preoccupied with the repetitiveness and it’s kind of mind numbing. At first half an hour went by in the blink of an eye and now it’s a chore and I desperately want to move to the next.
I still have given 3 stars because I do think it’s an excellent programme overall but the issues with the app itself make me feel like it’s not worth the money it costs and honestly I’d rather pay 10x more for a more in depth version of this programme with individual daily sessions and a nice interface.
I do appreciate that it’s got me into hypnosis as a thing but at this point I’m considering trying other apps instead.

Amazing!
I was struggling to loose weight since years ago. I paid a lot of money to join expensive diets and I never lost more than 2-3kg. I thought to give it a try to this app since it had great reviews and it is just one payment of less than £10 and it is not a diet (no counting calories, syns, weighing food,etc).
I made the best decision of my life. I can’t remember if I started using it in April or May, but today, beginning of September, I have lost in total 10kg. And the most amazing part of it is that my eating habits have changed completely. I’ve always had a sweet tooth and I no longer feel the need to eat sugars. Whenever there’s dessert if I go out to a party for example, I just have a very tiny amount and I’m perfectly fine with it, I genuinely don’t want more. And at home, I don’t eat desserts anymore. My mind is now automatically choosing healthy options. I also joined the gym and I enjoy it! (Not something I would normally do 😃)
I would like to thank the creators of this app, because I can assure you that they really want to help you to live a healthy life and they don’t just want your money. If you ask them for help with any questions, they come back to you very quickly.
This app has changed my life. It’s not just about loosing the weight, it’s about keeping a healthy weight and habits for the rest of your life.
I truly recommend it!
Thank you!

I started using this app, around 4 weeks ago. I wasn’t sure whether it would work or not but I had nothing to loose.
I believe that this app has actually taught me self control, and how to make better choices.
I’m still using this app to date and in 4 weeks lost just over 1st
You’ve nothing to loose so give it a try

Game changer
I was so skeptical that something so simple could work but WOW.
I’ve been doing this for approx a year and haven’t looked back. I’m over 45lbs down and can’t believe how easy this has been.
The trick is you have to want it to work and you MUST follow the super simple guidelines. But other than that this has been so easy to follow as it isn’t a diet. I still eat all the foods I love but just far less and only when I’m actually hungry.
Water is also KING which I think we all knew anyway but I genuinely can’t seem to get enough of the stuff!
If you’ve tried all the diets under the sun and failed like I have please take a chance on this like I did; you may well be very surprised at the outcome.
