Subliminal weight loss tapes?

Options
A neighbor (trying to be helpful) gave me one last week. I guess you are supposed to listen to it 2-3 times a week. I tried it, and I am almost embarrassed to say,(because I probably sound like a crackpot), it seems to be working. One of my downfalls is after-dinner snacking, and I haven't eaten anything after dinner in the last week.

Has anyone else tried/ had success with these tapes?

    That stuff can work, but certain people are more susceptible to subliminal messages due to their ability to enter alpha/beta wave states...

    i use it for sleep, and i've found the hemisync brand to be wonderful for this, but the weight loss thing: so cool! good for you!

    tell us the info?

    It's the sound of running water...kinda makes me have to pee afterward, too:laugh:
    The tape just says, "Tony Little-Permanent Weight Loss".

    My mom had one of those many years ago and she said it worked i tried it but could not take it seriously back then. It seems that it could have worked but I had tiny kids at the time and they would not let me listen to them lol

    I would like to try it again and see if it works

    Hi

    YEARS ago when I was in HS my gf would sleep over alllll the time and would play this jungle music (that was also a weight loss tape)
    I thought it was odd, but it didn't bother me..
    I was already thin in HS but lost weight..had NO interest in eating
    I totally forgot about that!

    Let us know how it goes!

    I have a weight loss cd I used to listen to. I honestly don't know if it helped or not. I bought it when I was going through my divorce and I have only listened to it a few times.

    I need to give it a try. I have heard that you have to train the brain with stuff like that, so it may be worth a try.

    I have one specific to men I used to use. It had messages you could hear on one side with background sounds like waves crashing. You were supposed to listen to that side once a day. The other side was just the background sounds. You were supposed to listen to that as many times as possible during the day. I used to put it in a walkman and listen to it while I was going to sleep.

    I honestly think it helped with the emotional eating.

    I think I'll try to find it. I wonder if I still have something I can listen to a cassette on at home. I may have to sit in the car.

    My mom has a set of these that I used awhile back. It was a woman speaking in a very soft voice with background sounds like gentle waves and that sort of thing. I don't know how effective it was since I didn't stick with it, but I can tell you, I fell asleep EVERY time I played it and I ALWAYS woke up when the lady said she wanted me to open my eyes. Creepy. Still have no idea what I was listening to since I always fell asleep, but it was very soothing, and my mom said it was helpful for her when she was trying to lose weight.
