Larry was good. No new info. Was not hypnotized. Products were very expensive. I had already quit smoking so the reinforcement was good.

Larry was fun, offered a lot of good advice, I’m just not 100% certain it’s going to work. I want it to, I need it to, but I’m a little uncertain. I attended with my spouse and daughter and may want to go on my own. Is it right that if I bring the paperwork I was given, I can attend again for free? Larry was great, I did have some hearing issues.

Hypnotized together wasn't good for me at all, sorry but his speeches were excellent! I would like to have my money back for pills i shouldn't of bought, $99.99 allot of money, Karen Carmack

This is a 3 part seminar. First, you get a lot of information on the presenter's theory of weight loss, which leads into...the sales pitch. Thriught the informational portion, he reinforced the need for supplements, LOTS of supplements. As my eyes were glazing over thinking about how many hundreds of dollars this would cost, he was talking about the couple of hundred dollars he (not true) knew we all blew each month on junk food and other unhealthy things. But then, of course he had a solution. There's a company you can buy all the supplements from in a bundle that will save you a lot of money AND if you buy the bundle tonight from him right here you will get them for even less, $199-$399, depending how much you buy. Now, the $399 fir 8 months worth IS a great deal if you have that to lay out, at only $50 a month broken down, but something about the person doing the hypnosis also pushing his sales of supements, which I assume he profits from, makes me question the credibility of the whole process. Moving on, after our class break/sales transactions - and he sold quite a bit, he did the hypnosis. This part was great, very positive, and what I actually came for. So I'm splitting my rating down the middle. A pretty good hypnosis session, with a captive audience style sales pitch first. Maybe if I didn't already have sales training it wouldn't have been so obvious, but all the classic techniques were there. One other thing: when talking about the importance of protein, more suggestions for those of us who don't eat meat would be great, but I didn't expect that.

I’m torn, as some aspects of the session were very good and others weren’t so great. I felt the leader talked too fast which didn't allow me to fully process what he was saying. He did say to give a time out sign if he was going too fast, so he knew that was a problem, but I wasn’t comfortable calling him out in front of everyone. I thought a lot of what he said was interesting and valid and definitely useful. However, as a scientist I didn’t like the fact he was pushing his pseudoscience ‘politics’ and promoting non-vaccination to a very vulnerable group which I think was frankly dangerous, even if it was in passing. The actual hypnosis was extremely relaxing and I truly believe it had value. But I felt during it I was being rushed to visualize this, think of that, repeat this, affirm that - and I never had time to get a good mental picture and make a deep connection, it just kept steam-rolling on. I was definitely under as I felt unbelievably heavy and relaxed, and I think with a little more time to ‘think’ I would have gotten far more from it. Time will tell. I would definitely recommend someone to go and try it for themselves as potentially it could be awesome.

It was very informative and interesting. I think for me it would be better if it was done in a setting that is more comfortable. I think I would benefit more one on one. I would like to go again as I was not hypnotized like my friends were.

I am a sceptic, and remain so, but this seminar at least gave me some pointers that I hadn't thought of before.

The product presentation was strong, but its persuasive tone might make some people wary. Including a brief scientific explanation can help build credibility.
