If anybody is considering fat camp, or sending their kids to fat camp, talk to me first. I spent 9 weeks there....
anything you read online
is fabricated.
I'll tell you the truth about both the good and the bad.

Totally, what are some bad things about it? Did you feel that 9 weeks was enough? | |

9 weeks was more than enough. I wanted to come home so, so badly. It was rather routine...we did the exact same things, every single day. It got very repetitive. They put laxitives in the food, which made for unpleasant experiences. There were too many skinny girls there. There were girls there who were so anorexicly thin that it was disgusting. Our cabins got infested with flying ants, and they didn't know what to do with us. Some activities were a lot of fun, but there weren't enough of them. ( camping, waterskiing etc) A lot of the things they advertised didn't exist. My couselor quit because she was studying to become a dietician and she said she didn't agree with the way we were being fed... if you want me to elaborate more on any of these things, let me know.

it sounds like its just another way to take advantage of the overweight or obese, just like people that sell the magic pill, or herbal tea that will make you mysterously lose weight. I wonder why at fat camp they wouldn't work on making a lifestyle change instead of feeding you laxatives.

Maybe if the parents were able to take over better in lieu of the counselors afterwards the kids would continue to drop weight....but again it's hard. These camps are a 24hour 7day a week thing. Can't do that during the school year, etc.
