Weight loss camps were started in the year 1980 and these were started with inspiration from the summer camps for children
. The problem of increased weight is affecting people of all ages and the weight loss camps that were meant for children were proving a big success. And therefore it inspired the organizers to start such camps for adults as well as teens also.
In the starting these camps laid stress on a diet that is low on calories and promoted fitness or exercise programs and schedules for the persons who joined the camp. But the starting camps did not pay any attention to the fundamental emotional and behavioral issues that relate to the human body. This also include the image of the body as well as the struggles that the body faces with accepting new things or a change in routine.
However many persons who attended these camps were successful in loosing their weight but there is lack of data that is available regarding the stability of the decreased weight. According to most of the experts of this field these changes were only for short period of time. It is due to the fact that unless the people are told the right method of teaching as well as what to eat the behavioral changes can not occur in the body. The human beings also require training about how to deal with stress and emotional feelings that persuade to eat more. It is also a question that is asked more often and that is whether the young minds are ready to make a long term change in their life style.
It has been observed that the weight loss target can be well achieved when the changes that are suggested by weight loss camps meant for adults are followed strictly.
The weight loss camps are showing good results across the world. This proves that working in groups generate good results as in comparison to working alone. The main reason of the success of such camps is that the campers strictly follow such a diet plan that ensures balanced calorie intake. The atmosphere at such camps is also conductive and friendly for people who join these weight loss camps.
