What About A Weight Loss Health Spa or Weight Loss Retreats?

No two health spas or weight loss resorts or weight loss retreats are the same. It is difficult to give a single answer that can adequately cover the question without either discrediting a good weight loss spa in the process, or giving unwarranted praise to a bad weight loss spa or resort or retreat.

Personally, I love the idea behind a specialist weight loss health spa or retreat, so long as it is run on an idealistic basis and not a predominantly commercial basis. Does such a utopian place exist? Not to my knowledge.

My "dream weight loss health spa resort", the weight loss retreat that some day I'd like to be involved in developing, would probably run as a not-for-profit establishment. It would not offer a "quick fix" but would incorporate a comprehensive weight loss program covering not just diet and exercise, but fitness and dietary education, practical experience in food preparation, provide psychological counselling and other emotional support and an overall habit changing lifestyle reforming orientation. I'd envisage a residential program lasting at least six months to produce desirable results and indelibly impress life long change upon the clientele.

At present, a search of the WWW shows many health spas, some offering weight loss programs even though they may not be specifically weight loss spas, though with programs only ranging from 7 days to 21 days. To my thinking, that is the obesity equivalent of a drug & alcohol treatment program offering detox only with no rehabilitation.

Weight loss health spas and retreats typically charge around $US 2,500 - 3,000 per week.

By all means go and enjoy their peaceful surroundings, therapeutic massages, the relaxation of having your rooms cleaned and food all prepared for you, enjoy their bush walks and bike rides - have yourself a pleasant holiday. You may even lose a little bit of weight temporarily and come away feeling quite refreshed.

Just don't expect to come away from such a weight loss spa or resort or retreat with a life long answer to your weight and obesity problems. That just can't be done in a week or even three.
