Instead of becoming sleepy, very sleepy, hypnosis has reportedly made Lily Allen skinny, very skinny.

The Daily Mail claims that the "Smile" singer shed two dress sizes after sessions with a hypnotist who helped curb her cravings for booze and fatty food.

During sessions, I taught Lily to favour healthy, low-fat meals instead of junk food,"  Susan Hepburn, a London hypnotist, tells the British paper, adding that hypno-therapy is "very big in LA and New York and it's becoming increasingly popular in London."

Part of the therapy, she says, is to let teh subject see that alcohol isn't a confidence booster, "it's just extra calories that sabotage your efforts to get a good body."

Wonder which will win out – hypnosis or a delicious pint? Only time will tell!
