Overweight represents, particularly, in the western world, a notable social problem, if one considers that in the sole United States more than two hundred million people, are, or try to be, on a diet.
Overweight is not only an aesthetic problem, but it is also a considerable risk for human health.
The modern research agree that, with rare exceptions of defective metabolism, the main cause of chronic overweight is overeating.
The feeling of insecurity produced by our social environment, anxiety, fear, tension, stress, with the many conflictual states connected to the bipolarity that rules human mental make up, disrupt the appestat mechanism which controls the food intake and, often, imposes a bigger demand for food, thus overweight is the result.
The excess of weight, being in contrast with the canons imposed by our social environment that cares so much about the perfection of lines, produces in itself many states of conflict, starting from a vicious circle that is structured as follows:
This is why an attempted solution becomes cause and effect. Such a " closed loop " mechanism not only is unable to solve the original problem but it can even and clearly make it worse.
Thus "unrestrainable overeating " becomes a learned process which strengthens and automatizes itself long term.
Traditional treatments in use today often do not make a permanent change because the learned mechanisms deep-rooted with the time are not modified at their base.
Even if science of nutrition has reached very high levels of perfection in making highly personalized diets, which take into account the large number of their peculiarities and the individual dynamics, the user still finds it difficult to follow the prescription without pains and constraints.
To resort to one's will, which is sometimes improperly urged, is not enough to mediate the problem . The reason is that the drives usually express one of their biological functions, that cannot be removed in itself, through a will that the more is ironed the more it represents a violence to the whole system.
The subtle and continuous social pressure that puts forward tirelessly, unreachable and emulative models, is often expressed by a deep frustrating obsessing and ruminating state cause some changes that, from a psychological point of view, create insecurity, disesteem and auto emargination while from a somatic one, many functions are stimulated without reason, they modify the individual's normal homeostatic equilibrium through the improper triggering of the alarm mechanisms.
The Psycotron protocol is a scientific and realistic approach facing the problem of bulimia and obesity, through a deconditioning process.
Based on long and careful research into mental physiology and on the most advanced studies into the science of behavior, through a " step by step " personalized " training " system it allows patient to modify his eating habits by correcting the altered mechanism at its root, in a tangible, permanent simple and effective way.
