EFT – Emotional Freedom Technique for Weight Loss
Comfort eating? EFT Tapping can change that
Does this resonate? Eating compulsively—even though you’re not hungry. Ripping the wrapper off a chocolate bar and eating it so fast that you hardly taste it. Telling yourself you will eat just one biscuit, but moments later you eat another, then another until the whole packet has been demolished. A promise to have just one glass of wine, but then drinking two, three or more.
After such times, you feel awful, ashamed, and utterly disappointed in yourself. You are confused and upset, too, because you don’t know why you do it, when it’s the last thing you want to do. In these moments, an event has triggered our subconscious, which simply runs our programming. EFT Tapping Therapy upgrades outdated programs in your subconscious. Best of all, it is quick and easy to do.

EFT Tapping to heal emotional and binge eating
EFT Tapping Therapy is a powerful yet easy-to-learn technique. Using EFT for weight loss is a powerful and rapid solution to releasing the emotional triggers that lead to overeating.
Nearly everyone has some emotional eating habits—most of which were formed in childhood. In times of distress, children are often given or seek food for comfort—it’s a natural response. Over time, this can become a habit wired into our subconscious.
No matter how many biscuits we eat (or whatever your go-to food is), it doesn’t change the situation—no matter what it is. Yet, due to our inner programming, stress, anxiety, upset, and worry trigger our subconscious programming, which overrides logic. Then, without thinking, we can consume a whole packet of whatever we have in easy reach.
EFT Tapping is a great way to release old habits and behaviour. I love EFT because it is powerful and it can bring about rapid changes. I use it to help people in all kinds of situations—and it is particularly useful for weight loss.
What exactly is EFT Tapping?
EFT Tapping combines the ancient wisdom of meridian energy (as used in acupuncture) with modern psychology, which enables rapid change. EFT involves tapping on meridian points (see the diagram above) whilst saying the very things that you don’t wish to admit to, acknowledge or accept—even though the statement is true. An example of this might look like, ‘Even though I feel sad when I look at my body in the mirror,’ or ‘Even though I feel ashamed when I know I’ve eaten too much chocolate’, and so on.
In EFT Tapping, we always begin with the negatives, then as we continue to tap, the wording changes as the tapping continues, firstly mixing it up and then finally changing it into what it is you would like to be (or to happen) using a ‘recipe’ of tapping and specific words. This allows you to release powerful emotions like shame, guilt, fear, sadness, sorrow or any heavy emotions which are acting as stumbling blocks.
It sounds weird, but science backs up the changes in the brain. EFT Tapping helps people make huge changes in their lives—not just with weight loss. In the Eat Well—Be Well program, I will teach you how to tap—no previous experience is needed.
How does EFT Tapping help weight loss?
Few people understand just how much emotions trigger overeating binges and self-sabotaging acts. Or that eating like this is a form of self-medicating to dull, numb and avoid painful feelings. Feeling empty inside may not be due to hunger. To begin the process of change means beginning to love yourself and no longer hating or feeling ashamed of your body. Know that being overweight has NOTHING to do with a lack of willpower, and everything to do with how our food is produced and marketed to us.
EFT Tapping helps you accept and begin to love your body, which makes it easier to make new choices about what to eat. Even if you just hate how your body looks right now, EFT Tapping can powerfully help you change this viewpoint. Tapping has changed my life, and I want you to experience the same changes too!
