Emotional Eating And EFT
New Treatment for Emotional Eating Provides Answer
for Unsuccessful Dieters -- Cravings Subside in 80%
of Cases
“San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) -- Stanford Engineer Gary
Craig introduces a new do-it-yourself approach to
Acupuncture that helps overweight Americans combat
emotional eating. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
addresses emotional eating at the level of the energy
meridian system (or Chi in Chinese Medicine). There
is no talk therapy involved, no drugs, no special
diets, and it often works when willpower fails.
EFT is modeled after acupuncture but doesn’t use
needles. Instead, one simply stimulates certain
meridian points by tapping on them with their
fingertips. In 80% of the cases immediate food
cravings subside in moments. Craig acknowledges,
“while this is not yet mainstream thinking, hundreds
of doctors, psychiatrists and psychotherapist are
using EFT to help their patients change their
relationships with food.”
Craig reports, “I see repeatedly that emotional
issues like fear, anger, boredom, shame, and
resentment are the very centerpiece of someone’s
weight gain. But their emotional issues have
remained unresolved despite willpower and
conventional therapies. This is because their
energy meridian system (or Chi in Chinese Medicine)
has been disrupted by the emotional issues. Until
the energy system is balanced, the emotional eating
will continue.”
In his book The Ultimate Weight Solution, Dr. Phil
McGraw’s top two “Keys to Permanent Weight Loss”
are 1) “Right Thinking” -- change your thinking;
and 2) “Healing Feelings.” McGraw offers extensive
information and advice for readers to analyze
themselves as well as exercises intended to help
readers take emotional control of their lives.
Craig agrees that negative thoughts, feelings and
emotions are at the core of people’s weight
problems. But he maintains, “the energy disruption
caused by the unresolved emotional difficulties is
the missing link to actually changing your thinking
and healing your feelings permanently. When the
emotional issues are addressed at the energetic
level, the negative thoughts and obsessive behavior
regarding food disappears. There is no willpower
involved because the trigger emotions have been
resolved and the urge to overeat simply disappears
... usually permanently.”
“Unsuccessful dieters fail because they are relying
on their willpower to quell the emotional turmoil
that is actually lodged in their energy systems”,
says Craig. “Exercises like journaling, and
meditation are great to help people connect to their
emotional pain, but EFT will help people to gently
extract their emotional pain from their system.”
Dr. Carol Look, a Manhattan psychotherapist and EFT
Master Practitioner specializes in using EFT for weight
loss. One client, Ann, reported being overweight her
whole life and knew that her weight was contributing
to her back pain. While working with Dr. Look, Ann
recognized that she was using food to fill the emotional
emptiness of her childhood, to tranquilize the pain from
her back, and to fill the void of living with an
inattentive husband.
After EFT treatment, her emotional drivers were
gone and Ann’s natural ability to lose weight
surfaced. She lost 25 pounds and reported that
her relationship with food changed significantly.
Her back pain improved as well. Ann said, “food
isn’t as central in my life anymore…I eat
moderately and am more conscious of when I’m full
and what I need.” She said that using EFT for her
pent-up frustrations and emptiness made all the
difference in her life to help her stop overeating
and care about her body and health.
Over 225,000 people have downloaded Craig’s free
EFT training manual from the official EFT website.
It provides all the basics so anyone can begin using
it immediately.”
