Weight loss resorts have become increasingly popular and they offer the chance to lose weight, get support from other dieters and enjoy something of a holiday at the same time. Before you book, find out exactly what is included in the overall price, and what services are offered. Some weight loss retreats are luxurious and have a spa like atmosphere, while some are more basic and functional. Some resorts have dietary needs and some continue to offer services and support after you have returned home. Group size is important too; the smaller the group of attendees, the more personalized service you can perhaps expect to receive. And although your goal is to lose weight, you want to do something else too some of the time. Check out the facilities and amenities and what there is to see and do in the surrounding area.
