I would have to disagree with Karen K who said the voice and music were irratating. I found the narrators' voice to be extremely soothing and the music to be beneficial and relaxing. In fact, for all the hypnosis tapes I've ever used, this is by far the most relaxing. I'm able to go into an extremely deep trance and always come out with the suggestion at the end (that's how I know I didn't just fall asleep). I only gave it 4 stars so far, but will update it in a couple of weeks when I see how well it works. I've been using it twice a day for two days, today is the third, and haven't seen any changes in my appetite or eating yet. It says to use it for 21 days. I don't know if that means you'll only see significant results after 21 days, or what, but I'll keep this review updated to let you know if I've lost any weight. If not, then at least I have had some incredibly relaxing sessions while I'm listening to the tape.

Day Five: I found when I went to the market I chose only healthy foods and stayed away from the junk food without even thinking about it. I checked the fat content on all food even if it said "light" or "low fat." When I saw chocolate and thought I'd like some it was immediately followed up with the thought that I didn't want to buy it. The hardest part is getting out of the store without the junk in the cart. At home, I've noticed I have not wanted to eat between meals.

After having so much success with Trevor's cd "Your Power Within" I had to try "Relax Your Way to Thin." I've lost 17 pounds so far and it is fantastic! I've never wanted to say I'm on a "diet" and I didn't really want to change my eating habits. But, after listening to the cd, my whole attitude about food and healty eating habits started changing. It made me realize that I wasn't denying myself anything by eating healthier, I was actually giving myself more. The weight started coming off, I'm feeling great and I'm sleeping soundly. Awesome CD, I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to loose weight.

I had gone to a Hypnotherapist before to lose weight and did not have much luck. However, I decided to try Trevor's method...and it works!! My eating habits changed dramatically after only listening to the cd twice. It is the most relaxing experience I have ever had. This cd allows you to fall asleep, so I listen to it while I am going to bed. It says that even if you do fall asleep your sibconcious will receive the messages that Trevor sends, without a doubt, it does! I am really amazed by this cd! I am getting ready to order his cd's for exercise and to quit smoking.

Thank you Trevor!!!

I was skeptical, but I have to admit it really works. I have tried countless diets in the past, but after losing a few pounds, I would go back to my old way of eating and gain it all back. "Relax Your Way to Thin" really helped me change the way I think about food and I have been able to keep the weight off.

I just wanted to say thank you for your CD and it is starting to change my life. I feel in control when it comes to food and eating now. I used hypnosis to stop smoking then I turned to food, but now I have let that addition go as well now. I hope to let go of my need for addiction and gain more control of my identity and emotions. Continue doing what you do it does reach people and it helps thank you.

This is an amazing CD with incredible results! I have always had weight problems, tried all the fad diets and always gained the weight back. Trevor has a soothing, reassuring and relaxing voice that has helped me to really start losing the weight. I have never looked or felt better, and I'm keeping the pounds off. This program has truly changed my life and I owe it all to Trevor. Thank you!

After using this weight loss CD, I am truly a believer!
I have to say that I was more than a little skeptical at buying a 'hypnosis' CD, thinking it would work better than my $100/mo gym membership, my point counting with WW, or my pre-packaged food from JC, but I was truly desperate. My doctor had said that because of my age (I'm not THAT old ;-) and my diabetes that I simply HAD to lose weight. And after crazy diets, numerous weight-loss programs, and several different attempts at regular exercise, I was really at the end of my rope.
THEN I heard about this CD from a neighbor and thought it couldn't hurt and was definitely cheaper than many of my other options. So every night, as I went to sleep, I'd lay in bed and start listening to the soothing voice saying, "Hello, I'm Trevor Scott..." I say start listening because between the voice and the soft music, I fell asleep almost immediately. (It's probably worth the investment if you have trouble sleeping too. :-) Anyway, over the next five months of having Mr Scott put me to sleep, I dropped just over 40 pounds!!!
Now, I had lost weight before, but then once I stopped the plan, I'd gain it all right back. Well, it's been two years now, and I've maintained the whole 40 pound weight loss, and am now coming back for more. I'd like to lose a little more and have decided to rekindle my relationship with my sleepy time buddy and relax my way to thin...some more.
I can't say enough good things about this CD. And all it cost me was the initial purchase...and the cost of lots of new, and smaller, clothes.

I was hesitant to buy/try this, because the whole "hypnosis" thing is scary for me. It seemed dangerous to put my naked psyche in the hands of someone I don't know. But I've struggled so much with compulsive binge eating that I didn't know what else to try. I don't, or should say, didn't overeat because of hunger. I would continue to eat far past being full. Diet pills, even though they effectively removed my hunger, didn't help. I was responding to something inside that drove me to stuff myself with food. What this CD has done for me is this: I no longer want to eat when I am full, and foods that I used to eat un-controllably - that I craved and ate 'til I was stuffed, no longer have power over me. I'll eat a little of them and am satisfied. I really am still shocked that this worked. I am changed, and am losing weight without even trying. I enjoy food, instead of being afraid of it. Plus I now have a different idea of hypnosis. Have you ever listened to guided meditation? It's just like that except the words being spoken are positive reinforcements along the lines of eating healthfully. Nothing spooky about it, just relaxing and powerful! I'm going to buy another CD to work on another personal issue.

I am a skeptical consumer by nature but this CD is very relaxing indeed and helps me get a deep full sleep and to stay positive. I find that I have a reduced urge to eat and when i do eat, i find that I choose more healthful options. I only lost a few pounds within the first week but who knows, it may get better.

I'll preface this review with my expectations of this product...I wasn't expected to be "hypnotized" and I didn't think it would be a magic bullet that, on its own, would cause me to lose weight. I was looking for positive reinforcement to help me with my diet and exercise. I believe in the power of positive thinking and the subconscious and I have a variety of meditative CDs that I listen to on my ipod as I'm falling asleep.

The Good:

-Good music to voice volume / ratio.
-Background music is calming and not obnoxious or overpowering
-I like the self-esteem-related affirmations and imagery - very helpful.
-Speaker has a decent voice (though sometimes he reminds me of Regis Philbin or William Shatner, which makes me chuckle)
-Contains imagery re: choosing the right foods when grocery shopping, imagining yourself in social situations making the right food choices, as well as imagery re: your ideal body shape.
-Beginning of relaxation portion is helpful; he goes through each part of the body and helps you relax.

The Bad:

-While the meditation/imagery portion of the recording is helpful, about 50% of the relaxation portion is just plain frustrating. After going head-to-toe, mentioning each body part and telling you to let it relax, he tells you to relax even more. That's fine, but the way he does it is annoying. He says, "Let's go to Level B of relaxation...1, 2, 3,4,5 go!" And then he snaps. Heh? What's so relaxing about someone quickly counting down from 5, and then snapping their fingers and telling you to relax? I've heard of slowly counting down while adding in phrases like "let it go" or "deeper relaxed" between the numbers, but just quickly counting down and snapping is more annoying than relaxing.
-While other meditations have you picture yourself in an elevator, sinking down into relaxation (or similar imagery) while this guy has you picturing a yardstick. Heh? Picture yourself holding a yardstick where the 36 inch mark on the yardstick is stress and the 0 mark is complete relaxation. Okay, fine. "Now take your relaxation 4 inches closer to the 0 mark." Errr...really? "Now take it 4 more inches closer to the zero mark. Ready, set, go!" Personally, this is more frustrating than relaxing.

The bad parts of the meditation annoyed me enough that I used MP3 editing software and took them out of the recording. I bought the exercise motivation meditation from Beverly Hills Hypnosis at the same time I bought this one, so I added "the good parts" of that meditation to the end of this one and - voila - I have a super-charged meditation without the annoying parts!
