I thought my eyes were deceiving me, but they aren't - singer Lily Allen has dropped 2 dress sizes and is looking fabulous!  Her secret..."hypnotherapy dieting," a recent trend in the U.S., especially in L.A. and New York, as well as gaining popularity in London.   

After several sessions Allen has learned to favor healthy, low-fat meals instead of junk food.   She also doesn't drink anymore alcohol.  Susan Hepburn, a Harley Street hypnotist, says

And to see that alcohol isn't a confidence booster, it's just extra calories that sabotage your efforts to get a good body.

Other fans of "hypnotherapy dieting" are ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and model Sophie Dahl.
