HISTORY Weight loss resorts have existed in the United States in large numbers since the 1950s. Some of these achieved their touted weight loss through forced low-calorie diets and exercise, and were criticized as "quick fixes" that did not result in long-term weight loss.1 Recent Many modern weight loss resorts, particularly luxury resorts, take an approach geared more towards encouraging a healthy lifestyle and eating behavior than just achieving short-term weight loss. Programs like Yoga , mediation and deep-breathing exercises may be offered in addition to traditional exercise. Many offer the chance to consult with medical doctors, physical therapists, nutritionists, personal trainers, even Acupuncturist s and Life Coach es. 2 Other programs may teach attendees how to cook or select healthy meals. Some are more similar to medical centers and take a clinical approach, such as Clinique La Prairie and the Cooper Wellness Program in Dallas, Texas . Prices at these luxury resorts can be quite expensive, some cost over $3,000 a week.3 Celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and Michael Moore are sometimes mocked for going to weight loss resorts.4 REFERENCES SEE ALSO |
