Do fat camps work?
No, old-style fat camps do not work. While fat camps may have achieved some short-term successes (most campers did lose weight at camp), few campers enjoyed any long-term benefits and most regained any weight they’d lost at the camp. In fact, long-term results from fat camps were so dismal that few even exist anymore. Whereas before there were hundreds across the United States, today there are only 15 to 20 still in business. Fortunately, they have been replaced by more modern weight loss camps.
