RESUMEN: En el presente estudio Exploratorio, de Campo y de tipo Longitudinal, se conocieron los beneficios reflejados en las medidas antropométricas cuando se padece un trastorno alimentario (obesidad) al aplicar la Técnica de los Cuatro Pasos para la Reducción de Peso de la Programación Neurolingüística en pacientes adultos de la comunidad de San Andrés Totoltepec, Tlalpan, partiéndose con una muestra inicial de 30 personas de las cuales sólo 10 finalizaron. Este último grupo tenía una edad promedio de 42 años y tenían el deseo vehemente y el compromiso consigo mismos de disminuir sus medidas antropométricas, reduciendo, por lo tanto, de peso.
ABSTRACT: In the present field study that is exploratory and longitudinal too, we knew the benefits of the antropometric measurement in alimentary upset (obesity) at applying the Neurolinguistic Programming`s Four Steps Technique for Weight Reduction in fat adults patients. At the beginning we had 30 people in the initial sample of the San Andres Totoltepec community, but only 10 members finished the study. These people had 42 years old on an average and, at the same time, had committing themselves and wished to reduce their antropometric measurements and, resulting in to lose weight.
This study was carried out having the individual`s antropometric measurements at the beginning, at a month later, then at three and six month; it started in October 15th, 2008 and finished in march 24th, 2009 where was found qualitative outcomes about alimentary behavior since the first month of technique application in wich we observe significative changes in antropometric measurements and corporal weight until the third month, so the Four Steps Tecnique really works as a part of the treatment in losing weight and antropometric measurement reduction since it reduces anxiety and changes the alimentary behavior.
Is important to say that is necessary more investigations in this topic with bigger samples to validate the terapeutic effect of the Neurolinguistic Programming`s Four Steps Technique for Weight Reduction with the objective of Health Institutions and their sectors will known the relationship between body and mind whit is possible to offer an effective terapeutic model to have the possitive results in weigth reduction that users wish.
