This term is normally associated with the act of regulating body function or reducing levels of body fat. Often the type of food one habitually consumes for an explicit reason.
With more than half of the American population in an overweight condition, with very little long term success achieved with most of the marketed programs, this activity has become expensive not only financially, but in health and duration terms as well.
Those who desire to manage their weight would benefit from the realization that there is a programming which occurs even down to the cellular level. Hypnosis and meditation can assist here, together with improved eating habits, a balanced diet commensurate with an individual's metabolic structure, and most importantly, a physical, mental and spiritual balance.
