probably for many years.
    The idea that you can train your limbic system to respond differently to familiar stimuli lines up with recent discoveries about neuroplasticity , which shows that the brain’s pathways can be altered. Scientists speculate that when we train our limbic system to respond to a long day at work in a new way, we’re actually changing our neural pathways, training our brain to react differently than it has in the past.
    After working with thousands of clients on food cravings and emotional eating, I’m still amazed at how quickly tapping can change behavior. After tapping on the stress they’re feeling, clients will often say, “Wow, it’s actually not about the food.” Once we use tapping to clear the stress that’s causing them to overeat, they’re able to eat less without even noticing. The situations or foods that once triggered them to overeat simply lose their power.
    Does that mean they’ll never succumb to cravings and emotional eating ever again? No. But it happens so infrequently that it doesn’t sabotage their goals. They often describe finally feeling a sense of peace around food. For the first time in years, clients tell me they can attend parties and have great conversations with people they’d never gotten to know previously because all they could focus on was the food. And for the first time in years, they can take a walk or go to a yoga class and actually enjoy themselves.
    The success stories around tapping, weight loss, and body confidence cover a wide range of circumstances, issues, and challenges. Whatever the specifics of the story, time after time when clients do the tapping, they lose the weight and keep it off. More important, though, even before the weight loss happens, they’re able to feel beautiful in their bodies.
    Why Tap When You Just Want to Lose Weight Now?
    People often ask me how quickly tapping will help them lose weight. While many of my clients begin losing weight in our first weeks working together, everyone loses weight at their own pace. When we begin tapping to release the stress and pressure we put on ourselves to lose weight, it’s counterproductive to obsess about the result. When we are truly on this journey, weight loss becomes a pleasurable side effect of feeling better about ourselves.
    The great thing about tapping is that it also works on headaches, backaches, and almost any kind of physical pain as well as insomnia and negative emotions such as fear, anger, and more. You can use it to relax after a long day or to get more focused when you’re feeling sluggish. The physical and emotional benefits are endless, so try tapping whenever you want to feel better, and the weight loss benefits will soon appear as well.
    Anyone Can Lose Weight with Tapping
    As compelling as the science around tapping is, for me it’s the incredible results I’ve seen in my clients, myself, and my friends and family that offer the real proof that tapping is the most powerful weight loss tool I’ve ever seen.
    When I began this process, I was a huge skeptic, and to this day I’m amazed at how well tapping works for weight loss, weight maintenance, body confidence, stress, illness, physical pain, and so much more. But over the years, I’ve become passionate about tapping as a health and weight loss tool because the results I see are so undeniable. My skepticism had no choice but to admit defeat.
    Many clients I work with start out with this same skepticism. I always appreciate that they’re honest with me about it. Just like me, they’d already tried countless other methods to lose weight—diets, extreme exercise, hypnosis, meditation. And with each new attempt at losing weight, they’d either see no change or lose it only to gain it right back. Why would tapping be any different?
    But once they start, they lose the weight, not because they’re dieting but because they learn to live life and be happy in the moment. Tapping helps decrease your cortisol levels,
