Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in improving dietary intake and weight status of young adults with high Body Mass Index (BMI) in a public university in Terengganu, Malaysia. This pre-and post-intervention randomly assigned 107 participants with BMI≥25 kg/m2 to either the Intervention Group (IG=53) or the Control Group (CG=54), for 12 weeks. All participants received health education (diet + exercise + behavioral recommendations) and completed food records, while those in IG had additional three hypnotherapy sessions once a month. Descriptive statistics and repeated measure Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) were utilized (SPSS 23.0). A total of 104 participants completed the trial (female=82.2%; student=71.0%; BMI=31.3±5.0 kg/m2). Results demonstrated significant decrements in weight (Mean Difference (MD)=-1.4 kg; p=0.021), total energy (MD=-269 kcal; p=0.033), carbohydrate (MD=-1.0% EI; p=0.019) and total fats (MD=-1.8% EI; p=0.002) intakes in IG after controlling for age, gender and baseline variables on repeated measurements. Hypnotherapy had a positive impact on energy intake, indicating its effectiveness in tackling eating habits. These findings are promising and could serve as a basis for future studies in hypnotherapy for weight loss.
