Choosing a weight loss camp for you or your kids may take more time and effort than you’ve expected. If you are choosing a weight loss camp for your kid or teen, it will be best if you do it together – this way is it faster and more satisfactory for both sides.

You can’t just visit the weight loss camp to see if it is good for you or your kids before you register. So your decision for registration with any weight loss camp must be based on the information and references you can find in weight loss camp’s brochures or catalogues, newspapers, magazines, information and pictures from the official camp’s web site, or just word-of-mouth and stories of successful campers.

After you’ve gathered all that information and references about the weight loss camp you or you and your kid have chosen, and before you contact the weight loss camp director or official contact person for further questions, you should make a list of all other questions that interest you before you make the final decision.

List of questions you should ask before register with a weight loss camp

I assume that you are already aware when the weight loss camp starts, how many weeks it lasts and where it is located, so let’s move on with:

• The camp fee – a deposit or full payment? Any extra fees?
• Do the weight loss camp have repeat customers and for what reasons?
• Does the weight loss camp program have long-term results and how the camp stuff and counselors support the campers after they return home?
• Who is the nutritionist who has designed the camp’s weight loss diet and activity program and what is his/her experience?
• What are the credentials of the weight loss camp’s counselors and what type of counseling they provide – group or individual?
• Can a camper schedule his/her own activities for the day?
• Will you be able to visit you kid, or be visited by you relatives, at any time?

This is only an example list. You can write any questions that interest you in much more detail.

I hope this info was helpful to you. I wish you have great time whichever weight loss camp you choose and the most important: long-term weight loss results.

Weight Loss Camp – what is that?

Definition of weight loss camps

Weight loss camps (also called summer weight loss camps, because they are organized mostly during the summer) are sometimes incorrectly referred to as fat camps or diet camps, which is actually pretty wrong because fat and diet camps from one side and weight loss camps from the other side have only one thing in common – weight loss.

Despite both types of camps deal with the same problem – extra weight (pounds), they have completely different approaches to reach the same goal – permanent weight loss.

Fat and diet camps’ goal is exclusively focused on losing the excess weight (fat), while the weight loss camps also teach you how to keep the lost weight off permanently after the camp is over.

In short weight loss camps help you change your life in a way that you’ll never ever need a weight loss camp again – a major lifestyle change that will help you maintain your normal weight and keep the lost pounds off forever, and the most important thing enjoy your life and forget you’ve ever had a weight problem.

Weight loss camp – who is that for?

Is it only for kids and teens during their summer vacation?

No, of course not, weight loss camps are for people with weight issues from all ages, starting from:

• pre-teen weight loss camps for girls and boys (age 8-12),
• teen weight loss camps for girls and boys (age 13-16),
• pre-collegiate girls and boys (age 17-18),
• young adults (age from 19 to 21, 25 or 29 depending on different camps)
• and finally the adult weight loss camps for mature adults (age 30-60+)

Weight loss camps are for all who need and want to lose weight while having fun for the kids and spending great time for the adults.

Weight loss camp program – is it healthy?

Weight loss camps for adults

For all parents and adults with any weight problems, I must say that you should not let only the kids have fun while losing weight – you should try it as well – great vacation, relaxation and lots of fun and great time spent with your new friends.

You’ll never be worried about what you gonna eat, you won’t be hungry at all with all portion controlled low calories meals and snacks carefully planned by the nutritionists and skillfully prepared to meet all your nutrient needs into a healthy  and balanced weight loss program (including vegetarians’ needs).

You won’t be lying all day long just eating your next meal or snack though, but you’ll have full fitness and exercise programs to follow, being guided by your personal or group certified fitness or aerobic instructor.

Does it sound great? Yes, but probably without the physical part, right? Well, you can’t lose weight without the slightest effort.

Kids and teen weight loss camps

As for the kids and teens they have great variety of activities to choose from – from swimming and playing all types of sports to arts, crafts and even performing arts. Many trips and special events are awaiting your little angels for one great and unforgettable summer spent in a weight loss camp for kids or teens.

Weight loss camps combine benefits and pleasure for successful weight loss – whether short- or long-term weight loss, you are just about to find out in my next post.

The summer’s already here and you need to lose a few pounds to look and feel great at the beach this year, but you’ve missed to put yourself on and strict diet in the early spring. Then now is you last chance to lose those few pounds and the easiest and fastest way to do it is by taking some sort of a slimming tea for a couple of weeks.

Slimming teas are gaining their popularity again. “Again”, because of a huge campaign against slimming teas in the end of 1990s, when they were very popular with the miraculous weight loss results they were promising, which turned out to be very unrealistic, as well as with the negative side effects they had after regular use way too long after the recommended course of taking. 

However you should not confuse green tea, chamomile, ginger, peppermint and many other herbal teas with the slimming teas, because they have nothing to do in common. Except for the herbal ingredients, they have completely different mechanisms of work.
 
There are two types of slimming (“diet”) herbal teas – first type contain laxatives or diuretics, such as senna, and the second type contain herbs that suppress appetite, such as ma huang.

In fact slimming teas are not as bad as they were said to be, as long as you use them according to the directions for use and the recommended course of taking. Now is the time to mention that you should avoid any types of slimming teas that have no details of how exactly the tea helps slimming, have no directions, recommended course of taking and vague ingredients.

Slimming teas containing senna should not be used on daily basis for more than a couple of weeks, because this herb is a laxative and works by irritating the colon to empty faster. And a usage beyond that period can make your colon muscular walls weak and sluggish, and may cause your colon not function properly on its own without taking the slimming tea.

It may sound scary, but you should know some facts about the prolonged usage of slimming teas:

• some studies have suggested that prolonged usage of senna may cause colon cancer
• slimming teas can cause dehydration from chronic diarrhea, which may lead to deficit of minerals, such as calcium, magnesium and potassium
• potassium is very important for muscles and its low levels can cause malfunction and weakness to the most important muscle in your body – the heart, such as cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heart beat)

I didn’t mean to scare you to death, but you should know the risks of prolonged usage of slimming teas.

Of course none of these will happen if you fist consult your doctor prior start taking slimming tea, and if you don’t prolong the slimming tea usage.

After all we are not talking about some sort of a strict and short diet that will make you miraculously lose all of your excess weight – NO.

It’s all about taking some sort of slimming tea a few times a day and to combine that intake with lowered food intake and increased exercising.

Actually it’s mostly the lowered food intake and the increased exercising that make you lose a few pounds.

The slimming tea helps as well by:

• increasing your metabolism and your body burns the calories and fats faster, or by
• preventing your body from storing fats and toxins, or
• speeding up your colon empting

And many other mechanisms of work of the slimming teas, depending on the type of tea.   

If you properly take the slimming tea and combine it with an easy to follow diet and regular exercises for a week or two, you can successfully lose a few pounds.

Losing between 4 to 5 pounds will make you feel slimmer and happier. And when you manage to get into your favorite summer jeans, then you’ll be ready for your summer vacation – with a few pounds off and all great moments you are about to experience.
