Lifestyle Changes

Picture this: eight days full of adventure and excitement, mouth-watering meals, massages, yoga, and a team of professionals working around the clock to meet your every need. Now picture doing all of this and losing weight.

If you're like many adults, you don't have two or three months to dedicate to a residential weight loss program, but you know you need to get away to jumpstart a newer, healthier lifestyle. Instead of overindulging and coming home more stressed than ever, take a vacation that soothes the mind, body, and soul - go on a weight loss retreat.

You can see the implications for Structured Eating. We often rush our meals and eat as if on autopilot. It's common for people to eat while watching TV, reading the paper, or working at the computer - and sometimes doing all three at once! I speak to many people at Structure House who say that they "graze" or just "fill up," as if they're cows or cars. Many people eat - and often overeat - without paying much attention to the food in front of them. In this way, you miss out on the experience of eating.

Sitting at home on a Tuesday night and the "The Biggest Loser" comes on TV.  You watch it and think, "Wow, I wish I could do that.  They sure do lose a lot of weight." 

You then flip to MTV and see "Fat Camp".  As you watch you think, "It looks like they're having some fun and losing weight."
