Weight loss using the Smelov method - psychocorrection of weight. The main goal of influencing the patient’s consciousness is to convince him that he can be satisfied with smaller amounts of food. The method is based on the hypothesis that an overweight person eats a lot simply out of habit. Sergei Smelov believes that the goal of treatment is not to work out the secondary benefits of overeating and excess weight, but to give the patient’s subconscious a certain “code” that will inhibit overeating. Simply put, this type of treatment is group hypnosis with the goal of developing a negative attitude towards overeating. Today, the Smelov center operates in many cities; sessions cost relatively serious money, even against the backdrop of the expensive services of nutritionists and fitness trainers. So is it worth choosing psychocorrection over an individual diet and a reasonable fitness program?
Smelov coding - basic principles
There are food centers in the cerebral cortex that are responsible for our appetite.
The hypothalamus, which plays a role in the formation of feelings of hunger and satiety, is directly related to metabolic processes. Thus, a person’s weight largely depends on the functionality of these parts of the nervous system. Smelov method
provides a targeted effect on food centers in order to suppress their activity. Impact on these areas can reduce the feeling of hunger, which will result in a change in diet and eating habits in a positive direction.
To achieve the goal, followers of this technique use psychotherapeutic methods - suggestion. The psyche is actively influenced, and changes in its state lead to a transformation of the body.
This system of suggestion is based on the theory developed by Botkin, Pavlov and their students. To increase the effectiveness of medical treatment, the patient is put into a drowsy state and then phrases-formulas constructed according to a certain scheme are embedded in the subconscious. This leads to a slight psycho-emotional stress, which ultimately produces a positive effect without affecting the rest of the nervous system.
In the process, patients form a reflex of aversion to fatty foods. A specific caloric limit is established, above which the patient feels discomfort in the stomach, dizziness and nausea.
pros
- Quick results - up to 5 kg per month;
- Losing weight without diets and grueling exercises in the gym;
- The process is gentle and painless for the patient;
- During encoding, no physical effects are applied to the body.
Minuses
- The encoding has a limited validity period, after which you need to continue to eat properly on your own;
- The result can be achieved only with the patient’s voluntary consent to coding;
- Judging by the reviews, effectiveness largely depends on the doctor who performs the coding;
- Weight often returns due to hormonal changes in women (after childbirth, during menopause);
- There are side effects such as dizziness, leg cramps
When choosing a technique, the hypnologist who will work with the patient plays a decisive role. The Dovzhenko Method Coding Center employs a follower of the great scientist and his first student, a professional psychiatrist and psychotherapist with impressive experience A. A. Gontova.
In his hands, patients who have decided to change their lives for the better achieve their goals and no longer stray from the right path.
In our center, Dovzhenko coding is carried out by doctor Alexander Aleksandrovich Gontovoy, a student of A. R. Dovzhenko.
Benefits of losing weight using the Smelov method
The advantage of this method of combating overeating is precisely that it is atypical, and therefore does not cause internal rejection. Remember how many times you tried to lose weight on a diet, through exercise or fasting days. Naturally, most of you cannot call the experience of dieting and grueling training pleasant. If this were so, you wouldn’t be reading yet another article about how to lose weight when everything has already been tried and didn’t work. The weight training will take place over eight weeks. All this time after the hypnosis session you will adhere to a diet of 1200-1400 kcal. Clients are not required to do any special exercises, but they are very beneficial for weight loss. Every week there is a support session, the main goal of which is to strengthen the patient’s self-confidence and help him stay on the right path. Group hypnosis is not considered a method for eliminating the causes of overeating. The therapist’s goal is to relieve cravings for food, to give the person the attitude that overeating does not solve his problems, but only makes him fatter. This fairly simple thought can change your life forever. While working in a group, it is easier to track success, and self-confidence, if your doctor supports you, will be stronger.
Comparison of Smelov and Dovzhenko's methods
If we consider the entire cohort of weight loss methods based on psycho-emotional effects, two technologies stand out from the rest - coding according to Smelov and according to Dovzhenko
. They are similar in many ways due to verbal programming as a key tool, but they also have their differences.
Similarities
The impact is carried out in three stages, and the first two have the same tasks.
First, the patient is prepared through a conversation with the doctor. The root of the problem is established, the state of the body is analyzed, and the mental and emotional background is assessed.
The second stage is the direct suggestion of specially developed formulas, within the framework of which the craving for unhealthy nutrition is blocked.
The list of contraindications for the two methods is not much different. The Smelov weight loss method and the Dovzhenko coding cannot be used by people suffering from chronic diseases of internal organs, especially the gastrointestinal tract, and nervous system, as well as pregnant women and children under 18 years of age.
Differences
Like Dovzhenko, Smelov proposes to influence a person on a psychological-emotional level, but for this he turns to emotional stress therapy, and not to conversations and somatic influences. That is, during a session using the Smelov method, the patient, half asleep, listens to a certain set of rather harsh phrases, most of which are pronounced loudly and in a commanding tone.
According to the Dovzhenko method, such ultimatum methods are not provided.
Disadvantages of losing weight using the Smelov method
This method is recommended by the Russian Ministry of Health and Social Development, but you need to clearly understand its essence. According to numerous testimonies of clinical psychologists, the reasons for overeating can be very different. However, in any case, they show that a person has a tendency to addiction. That is why so many former “obesity coded” people suddenly begin to exercise manically or empty stores. A psychotherapist does not work with your tendency to addiction, but with your habit of overeating. As a result, the “dependent type” may find another way to realize himself, and not always safe and pleasant.
A psychologist with clinical experience in treating obesity, A. Vasyutin, points out that it is impossible to qualitatively work out the problem of overeating with persuasion alone under hypnosis. During the treatment process, the doctor must explore the patient’s secondary benefits and teach him to extract them in another way or completely abandon them. He must teach the patient to consciously act in different life situations and live with a dependent personality type so as not to harm himself.
So in the clinic using the Smelov method they will give you a kind of “psychological pill” that will help you endure the hardships of the diet much easier. However, with the correct selection of a diet for 1200-1400 kcal, there are not too many “hardships”. Well, before contacting “psychological weight loss clinics,” it is better to consult with a practicing psychologist and take at least a few tests that will show your self-esteem and personal problems in an objective light.

Advantages of treatment at the Coding Center using the Dovzhenko method
Judging by the abundance of favorable reviews and the popularity of both methods, both Smelov and Dovzhenko managed to help millions of people - and this is without exaggeration.
Over the past decades, during which people have been exposed to these programs, it has been possible to collect impressive statistics and compare their positive and negative aspects. The key advantage of Dovzhenko’s technique is direction. In which the attitudes in the patient’s head are transformed. The hypnologist focuses on maintaining health and beauty, maintaining harmony and the positive consequences of a healthy lifestyle. All this is done in an exclusively positive way, without evoking negative emotions such as fear or disgust. The same cannot be said about Smelov’s methodology, within which many blockages and negative attitudes are placed in relation to fatty foods and extra pounds.

Trust Clinic, Smelov method - who applied?
Naturally, I tried to lose weight on my own. Diets, exercise... But, as always happens, there was not enough willpower and for every kilogram lost, two more were added. I somehow immediately liked the idea of treating excess weight with psychotherapy, and besides, I really wanted to lose those kilograms quickly... And I decided. Everything went very easily. At first, there may have been some kind of discomfort, because after all, this is a hypnosis session, but it quickly passed.
After the session, I followed all the instructions, and, without starving at all and without experiencing any difficulties, I lost 16 kilograms in 2 months. Once I tried to break the rules and eat some of the forbidden foods - but I immediately felt unwell, and I no longer caused such troubles for my body.
After many years, I noticed that I was getting better again. I signed up for a repeat session. A month has passed, I have lost 5 kilograms so far. I eat very small portions, I don’t want more. I'm not hungry at all. My diet hasn’t changed much, perhaps I only removed flour and fatty foods from it. I am very pleased.
