Texas Fat Camps for Adults

If you want to lose weight in Texas, you can find a "Fat Camp". Some camps help you lose weight as part of a family program, while others promote a specific weight-loss regimen. Each center aims to help people achieve and maintain a healthy weight by learning how to incorporate a lifestyle that includes healthy eating and regular physical activity.

  1. Wellsprings

    • The Wellsprings network of weight loss camps operates a camp for children and teens in San Marcos Texas, near both Austin and San Antonio. As their weight loss camp programs for kids end, Wellsprings invites the campers' families to the camp for a weekend retreat. At the retreat, the camp staff teaches the families about the weight-loss strategies and lifestyle changes that their children have learned during their summer camp experience. Families take these ideas to implement at home, and many find that they begin to change their own bad eating habits at home too. Many parents have succeeded in losing weight along with their children after attending the Wellsprings weekend retreats.

    Rancho Cortez

    • Rancho Cortez in Bandera Texas, one hour north of San Antonio, combines a dude ranch with a ranch-style weight loss program that challenges guests to get healthy while losing weight and boosting their fitness level. The ranch invites guests to use the heated indoor pool and modern workout facilities to exercise. At mealtimes, guests indulge in the ranch's low-calorie cuisine. The program aims to provide the ranch's guests with a sensible diet and fitness regimen that they can continue to follow after they return home. Guests can come to the ranch for any length of time that suits their schedule, but the ranch has a basic 30-day course to get participants on the road to healthier living. The residential facilities accept guests throughout the year.

    Dr. Cinque's Health Retreat

    • Dr. Cinque's Health Retreat in Buda Texas, south of Austin, offers a location for people to come to improve their health by acclimating themselves to a diet of fresh fruits, vegetables and natural foods. Guests also become accustomed to exercising and learn strategies for reducing stress. The retreat encourages therapeutic fasting as a way to detoxify and initiate weight loss and bases its food program, after the fasts, on a diet that contains no animal fats, no saturated fats, no refined carbohydrates and plenty of whole grains and organic fruits and vegetables.
