Praise for Close Your Eyes... Lose Weight

Ive had the pleasure of experiencing Graces hypnotherapy first hand and she is the absolute master of her craft. If you suspect your weight gain was rooted in something deeply emotional that you have not yet been able to access and heal, you must read this book!

JJ Virgin, multi-#1 New York Times bestselling author, certified nutrition specialist, board certified holistic nutritionist, and certified exercise physiologist

Having worked with Grace personally I can attest to the deep wisdom in her hypnotherapy teachings. Releasing weight is a physical, mental, and emotional endeavor; Graces book will help you dissolve any subconscious limiting beliefs that were blocking your success.

Danette May, Americas leading healthy lifestyle expert

Self-sabotage is real... but it doesnt have to stop you! Having worked with Grace personally, I can tell you that her work will absolutely change your life. If youre ready to clean out subconscious cobwebs, power up, and love yourself like never before, Graces book will show you how.

Gala Darling, author and speaker

Having lost over 100lbs myself I can attest to how self-sabotage lives on even after the weight is gone... unless you are committed to upgrading and healing your subconscious beliefs as well. Grace is my personal hypnotherapist and the positive impact shes had on my life truly isnt quantifiable. I recommend Graces work and this book if you are ready to change your life and health in unprecedented, unbelievable ways.

Scott Olford, entrepreneur

I had the privilege of working with Grace as my hypnotherapist. Her hypnotherapy not only fueled my weight loss of 15 pounds of body fat in 60 daysit jumpstarted long-term habits of consistent exercise and healthier food choices that have lasted well beyond the time we worked together. Both self-control and motivation around my health and wellness choices come so much more easily thanks to the abundance mentality thatfor the first time in my lifeI was able to develop. Im incredibly grateful for the life-changing guidance provided by Grace and Im so excited for you to experience the power of hypnosis as you read Close Your Eyes, Lose Weight!

Brigid McCuen, creative producer, MedCircle

Weight loss is a mental process as much as it is a physical process. People want to look great, yes, but they also want to feel great. With plenty of options to address the physical processes of weight loss, how do we change our mindsets to stick to healthy choices in the long-term and feel great? With hypnosis. In my experience as a nutrition coach, there is no better workout for the mind and a more effective tool for changing habits that will ensure lasting results like using Grace Smiths hypnosis protocols alongside your weight loss plan.

Jovanka Ciares, CHWC, RH

As a personal trainer for over ten years, I can tell you, (sustainable) weight-loss is almost never about the food or exercise. Sure, that is the means to an end, but in my years of working with clients, unless they were able to identify and change long held beliefs and patterns, they wouldnt be able to keep off their weight. I wish I had this book back then as a tool for my clients to use during their programs, but I am so glad its out now. Graces work has been magic in my life personally, and I am so happy to pass this along to anyone willing and wanting to make real and permanent change.

W eight loss. A multibillion-dollar industry. Day in and day out youre sold solutions. Quick-fix diets and supplements. Liquids and powders. Exercise mats and smart watches. Apps and smart monitors. Thigh-gap machines and detox programs. But does the multibillion-dollar weight loss industrial complex want you to lose weight and keep it off? Absolutely not! They make their money if the struggle continues, not if you finally discover a lasting solution. You already know that get-thin-quick diets dont work in the long term. You already know hating your body doesnt cause it to lose weight. And yet, fad diets, self-hatred, negative self-talk, and gimmicky products prevail.

If you feel duped by the weight loss industry, youre not alone.

A body mass index (BMI) of 30 or over is considered obese, but in 2016 the average woman in the United States was 170 pounds and five foot three with a BMI of 29.6; the average man was 197 pounds and five foot seven with a BMI of 29.1. This puts the average American on the cusp of obesity.

While BMI, a value derived from the mass and height of a person, isnt necessarily the best or only way to assess health, it can be a useful reference point and a potentially helpful screening tool for overweightness or obesity.

The obesity epidemic is not confined to one country. The World Health Organization has issued the following key facts:

Worldwide obesity has nearly tripled since 1975.

In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Of these over 650 million were obese.
