Fat Camps Review

 

Fat Camps are like recreational summer camps with lots of activities, but these focus on exercise for those unaccustomed to it, along with teaching basic nutrition and behaviour modification. The cost of so-called Fat Camps are steep, but if it leads to a fundamental change in the way you or your child thinks about eating and exercise, it could be the best investment you could make.

The big problem with the concept of Fat Camps is that they are a cocoon where overweight individuals don't deal with the day to day pressures of the real world while they are struggling to change the way they live. It is probably better and less expensive to make the changes necessary at home instead of at fat camps. If you don't learn self control without someone looking over your shoulder, long-term weight loss is almost impossible to maintain. A bigger problem, at least for the parents, is that childhood obesity is usually learned behaviour from obese parents. If parents are not willing to set an example for their kids, then the kids have little chance of success. I guess parents should decide whether the long-term health and happiness of their child is worth a big effort on their part.
