“Method of Psychological
Correction of Eating Habits”.
Author is Ass. Prof. I. Varaksin, Psychotherapist,
Psychologist, Physician

9. Dr. I. Varakisi have done a research
on root courses of Obesity and
pathological eating habits
 Here are his findings.

10. Here are the findings of his
research
Main courses of extra weight are related to
- Social
- Psychological – subconscious mind
- Anatomical
- Biochemical - metabolic factors

11. Social courses
- Influence of micro, macro social environment
- Media
- Traditions
- Socializing with a help of food

12. Psychological causes -
subconscious setting and emotional connections
related to food.
Here we have a power of our subconscious mind:
-food addiction
-food temptation
-over eating reaction on stress
-using food as method of overcoming the boredom
-psychological dependence from food
-using food to get enjoinment and to be happy
FOOD ADDICTION IS COMPERED TO DRUGS ADDICTION

13. We can compare eating habit with
other habits
What is habit?
It is related to record in our subconscious mind,
memory, filling, thoughts, emotional connection,
attitude towards food
Obesity is caused by wrong eating habit. So it is
something to do with our mind.

14. Example of habits:
- When the child is sucking the finger
- Smoking
- Taking drugs
- Alcohol
- Eating habit
-Taking a lot of painkillers
and others
When the person is developing a bad habit
it is very difficult to get reed out of it

15. Bio - chemical,
anatomical factors
- Caloric Disbalance
- Hedonic factors - endorphins
- Mineral, protein, vitamin, hormonal, lipid
disbalance
- Anatomical factors – like expanded
stomach
(All those factors influencing on the different
chains of body metabolism)

16. Lets summarize:
Main courses of obesity are related to
- Social
- Psychological – subconscious mind
- Biochemical
- Anatomical factors
More than 17 main factors are described
by Ass. Prof. Varaksin.

17. Do you think,
That using one tablet, or dieting, or exercising
will be possible to change all those factors
which are making person to eat more.

18. There is no one tablet or one method
which can work on all those different
courses.

19. Combination of several methods
must be use in helping people to
lose weight

20. Usual methods for the weight loss are
low effective due to very narrow
approach to this so complicated problem.

21. Hereditary obesity dose nor exist.
All obese people have a wrong eating habits!

22. How to treat Obesity and extra weight
We need to address all causes of obesity
- Psychological subconscious
- Metabolic,
- Anatomical
- Social

23. Psychological courses we address with
Psychotherapy.

24. Ass. Proff. Varaksin developed
Method of Psychological Correction of
Eating Habits

25. He studied persons subconscious mind
settings towards the food: obsessive
thoughts about food, attitude.., emotional
connections, food addiction, food
temptation…

26. And as a result of those study he created
course of
Psychological Correction of Eating Habits-
Psychotherapy of Obesity and Extra weight
based on different Theories of Personality:
Psychoanalytic, Humanistic, Cognitive,
Behavioral, Social learning…

27. Authors of those theories are well known
scientists in Personality Studies like: Eric
Ericson, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Alfred
Adler, Karen Horney, Gordon Allport,
Raimond Cattell, Abraham Maslow, Carl
Rogers, Skinner, Albert Bandura, George
Kelly and others.

28. In the Method of Psychological Correction of Eating
Habits we use different psychotherapeutic technics
like:
- Psychoanalysis
- Psychosynthesis
- Persuasion and encoding
- Auto training
- Tranquilizing psychotherapy
- NLP…
Huge knowledge and huge intellectuality were
used in creation of this method.

29. I use this method in Kenya for the
past 12 years.

30. Results of Method of Psychological
Correction of Eating Habits
Weight loss 5 – 20 kg.
Overweight, Class 1 obesity – 5-20%.

31. Bariatric Surgery is effective when patient
need to lose more than 20 kg.

32. Bariatric Surgery (BS) used in
Scandinavian Countries for more
than 20 years, America – 30 years

33. Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery-
considered minimally invasive procedures
Gastric Balloon Gastric Band Gastric Sleeve Roux-En-Y

34. Bariatric surgery
allow patient to lose 30 -80% of his
excess weight.
This result is not reachable with other
methods.

35. Swedish study show:
After successful Bariatric Surgery
- Diabetes was resolved in 88% of all
diabetic patients
- And Hypertension – in almost 76%

36. WHAT TO TAKE IN TO ACCOUNT WHILE
SELECTIN THE WEIGHT LOSS METHOD?
- BMI, West Circumference and
Comorbidities
- 6 MONTH unsuccessful attempt to lose weight
with exercises or dieting should be accepted as a
failure method and the patient should be
recommended medical or bariatric treatment.

37. “Effective weight loss surgery must be
recommended at the early stages of the
obesity treatment
to prevent the serious complications that
can result from diabetes, hypertension, high
cholesterol…” Swedish medical scientists
recommendations.

38. Medical weight loss with Psychological
Correction of Eating Habits is recommended

39. Gastric balloon can be used for a
person with BMI 27 and above.

40. Bariatric surgery is the most effective and
