The subconscious mind can influence how we eat by associating broccoli with personal failure or triggering cravings for cookies eaten in a past life. Overcome subliminal appetites with today's Groupon: for $129, you get three 50-minute weight-loss hypnosis sessions or three 50-minute smoking cessation hypnosis sessions at LAB Hypnosis, with locations in Los Angeles and Tarzana (a $375 value).

The supportive certified hypnotherapists of LAB Hypnosis help patients develop subconscious mental tools to reinforce healthy eating and aid in weight loss and in quitting smoking. During the first 50-minute session, clients learn about the practice of hypnosis and can discuss questions and goals with a specialist before delving into the subconscious mind. A blend of guided imagery and subtle suggestion techniques can influence deeply ingrained negative health habits, and clients also learn at-home hypnosis techniques to practice on pets or intrusive neighbors. LAB's services can yield a lengthy list of benefits, potentially treating issues such as low self-confidence and sleep disorders. Patients remain aware and conscious during the hypnosis sessions and can take home a recording of each session to play after romantic dates.
