You can get a Tax Credit for your Weight Loss Hypnosis!! Yes you can.....
Tax laws passed for 2003 onwards mean you can get a tax credit that reimburses you 100% for money paid for weight
loss programs if you were advised by a physician to lose weight.
This is a tax credit - not a tax deduction, so that means 100% credit on your taxes!
The information below is presented as a courtesy from Academy of NLP & Hypnosis and is quoted from pages 12 and
15 of IRS Publication 502 year 2003.
Weight-Loss Programs
You can include in medical expenses amounts you pay to lose weight if it is a treatment for a specific disease
diagnosed by a physician (such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes or heart disease). This includes fees you pay for
membership in a weight reduction group and attendance at periodic meetings. You cannot include membership dues in
a gym, health club, or spa as medical expenses, but you can include separate fees charged there for weight loss
activities.
How to Report
To claim the credit, complete Form 8885, Health Coverage Tax Credit, and attach it to your Form 1040 or Form 1040NR.
Report the credit on Form 1040, line 67, or Form 1040NR, line 62, and check box c. You cannot claim the credit on Form
1040A or Form 1040EZ.
You must attach invoices and proof of payment for any amounts you include on line 2 of Form 8885 for which you did
not receive an advance payment. If you file your return electronically, attach the invoices and proof of payment to your
Form 8453. Proof of payment may include a pay stub if insurance is through a spouse's employment, a bank check, or
bank statement for premiums that are automatically deducted from your account.
If you claim this credit, you cannot take the same expenses that you use to figure your health coverage tax credit into
account in determining your:
Medical and dental expenses on Schedule A (Form 1040)
Self-employed health insurance deduction, or
Archer Medical Savings Account (MSA) distributions.

Choosing an effective Weight Loss Program is the first step towards staying healthy. But staying with a
weight loss program can prove to be difficult for so many. That is why, when it comes to weight loss,
choosing a program that addresses the "psychological aspects" of excess weight is essential. This is where
using the power of your mind to help you stay on a program is essential as well.
Your mind is a very powerful tool. While many people have yet to understand and harness the power of their
minds, there are plenty of people already doing so, on a consistent basis, and this is helping them to reach all
areas of success in their personal and professional lives.
If you are at the point where nothing is working for you as far as losing weight or dieting, but you believe in
the power of your mind, then you might want to consider weight loss hypnosis.
This is not a diet. I believe diets don’t work. The minute we are on one we feel deprived and sabotage
ourselves. This is about confidence and control and creating new habits that fit your new lifestyle.
Hypnosis and hypnotherapy are often given an unfair reputation because many people consider that what
they see in movies or on stage to be how a professional Hypnotherapist works. This could not be further from
the truth. I promise, you will not leave my office barking like a dog or quacking like a duck!
From the very first day of your program we will focus on confidence, portion size, late night snacking, and
much more. Everyone is different. I will go over your major concerns and address them in your sessions.
I have helped many patients lose weight with the aide of hypnosis. We talk about what you struggle with and I
incorporate this into your session. Most people who come to me for help to lose weight have a hard time
controlling the foods they eat and portion size. By addressing these issues while under hypnosis, clients are
better able to lose the weight they want or need to lose.
In an article published in The Journal of Clinical Psychology a study was performed on 109 participants. All of
the participants received and completed a weight management program where they learned how to lose
weight in a healthy way and to keep the pounds off once they met their goal. In addition to the weight
management program, some participants received hypnotherapy to help them lose weight.
The results of both groups showed significant weight loss at the end of the study. However, the group that
received the weight management program and hypnosis showed more improvement in the eight month and
two year follow-ups. The study showed that the people who received hypnosis had lost even more weight
between the end of the study and the follow-ups. The study also showed that participants who received
hypnosis were more likely to have met their goal weight and maintain that goal weight in comparison to the
participants of the weight management program only.
With Hypnosis, you have the ability to lose weight and the ability to keep it off in the long-term. Many studies
have been conducted to examine the effect that hypnotherapy has on a person and their eating habits and
long term results.
In 1998, a study involved 60 obese participants. The patients were randomly divided into one of three groups.
One group received hypnosis that focused on stress reduction; another group received hypnosis that
focused on energy intake reduction, and the third group received only dietary advice.
Researchers studied the percent of body weight lost at 7 different follow-ups from 1-month to 18-months after
the treatment. At the 3-month follow-up, all participants in the three groups had lost 2-3% of their baseline
body weight. However, at the 18-month follow-up, the group that had received hypnotherapy and stress
reduction reported continued significant weight loss compared to no change in the other two groups. This
study shows that when hypnotherapy is used in combination with stress relief suggestions, weight loss is
significant in the long-term (Stradling, Roberts, Wilson, & Lovelock, 1998).
In a meta-analysis of two studies involving hypnotherapy and weight loss, Kirsch (1996) found a significant
difference in amount of pounds lost comparing participants who received hypnosis and those who did not
receive hypnosis. The initial follow-up showed the average weight loss to be 6.00 pounds in the non-
hypnosis group and 11.83 pounds in the hypnosis group. The last follow-up conducted with the studies
showed that the non-hypnosis group lost an average of 6.03 pounds and the hypnosis group lost an average
of 14.88 pounds. This meta-analysis showed that use of hypnotherapy greatly increased amount of weight
lost over time.
These studies show that hypnotherapy is a valid form of weight loss treatment and has lasting effects in the
long-term. Hypnosis takes very few sessions and has a long-term effect that helps clients continue to lose
weight. This is an effective and natural method of losing weight and keeping it off.
Obviously I’m an huge advocate of hypnosis and weight loss. I have seen hypnotherapy help so many
people. Most weight loss clients come into my office because they are tired of being on diets that do not work.
I explain to my clients that it is a lifestyle change and hypnosis will help them achieve their goal. Once again,
this is not a diet!
