Some of these resorts are exorbitantly pricey. You can pay more than $6,000 a week at the really posh ones. That would translate to a mere $2,000 for the average pound lost. But the offerings are an incredible treat. Often the resorts are set in a gorgeous natural setting.

But you don't have to be rich in order to consider a weight loss resort for your next vacation. Some can cost less than $100 per day. As well, a lot of fasting retreats have sprung up in the last few years and some of them are reasonably priced and very good value for your money. Spending a week at a place with professional personalized weight loss guidance can be a very good springboard toward further successful weight loss when you return home refreshed and motivated.
