What about the exercise component? Given that parents pay a lot of money to see results, Do they have some kind of forced exercise programme? i would be pretry concerned about that.
i also could not agree with three springs more. Given that someone else buys the food in the house what do the kids come home to?

Optifast. Eeew. It is available over the counter here. I took that stuff for a month once to drop a dress size for a wedding i was in. I have always been on the voluptuous side! Aside from tasting revolting and giving me bad breath, i found I was nauseous and toward the end fainted twice before my boyfriend and sister bullied me into eating again. i cant believe they are feeding that shit to kids. it of course does not encourage any kind of life long change in habits either. I looked fantastic for 1 night in the dress and then put it all back on as soon as any kind of food went into my mouth. I can only imagine what would happen to a kid.

Oz girl:
I found an old article on the effects of optifast on adults. only 30% kept the weight off. There are many unpleasant side effects

I hate the fat camp thing, like I hate all forced boarding schools.

While I think anorexia is a dangerous disease, the sites with the best weight loss tips if your doctor says you need to lose weight are the pro-anorexia sites.

Even though they take it dangerously far, some of these women have weight loss down to a science, and healthy methods for doing it.

Where they get unhealthy is they don't set an end goal weight, or they set it dangerously low.

The best way to avoid that is to ask your doctor, in advance, what you should weigh or how much you should lose.  Ask your doctor how much you should lose a week.  Set that as your goal, and when you get there, just maintain instead of losing.  

We all know binging and purging, and abusing laxatives and diuretics, and going ultra low carb, and dead crash dieting are bad.

Easy to say, hard to do.  But the anorexics' pro-ana websites do have a lot of tips for taking off weight that, in moderation, are healthy.

I was surprised.

I lost ten pounds, and kept it off, just doing portion control.
