Kick start your
fitness/weight loss in
sunny Provence (South of France), through
diet, physical exercise and behavioral counseling while enjoying & discovering the
landmarks of the French Riviera.
Weight loss vacations don't imply bland food; in our program you will
enjoy tasty French food.
The best food will not do you any good over the long term if you cannot replicate it when you return home. Our weight loss vacations offer counseling and
optional cooking classes so you can learn some of our recipes and improve your cooking skills. If you do not cook, you will learn the basics; if you are a confirmed cook, when back home, you will be able to prepare
waistline-friendly healthy meals and control your weight on the long-term.
Our
informal group discussions, will allow you to express your concerns and share experience with other participants.
Health
lectures and cooking lessons will help you understand all aspects of healthy nutrition.
We offer
3 weeks sessions. It is recommended however to follow two consecutive sessions for a maximum efficiency. You will live
in a Provence style house (
http://rivieraapt-leicantareu.blogspot.com/) with your own
private bedroom and shared common areas. The house is not luxury and is secluded but it is comfortable, quiet, well located for sightseeing and has all modern commodities. It is ideal for a retreat and concentrate on your only goal: get slimmer. In each bedroom, there is WIFI and TV. There is an Internet spot where you can connect in case you do not have your own laptop. This house includes an outdoor nicely shaped pool and an
indoor heated pool.
It is hard to achieve weight loss alone. You need that
extra push from the people around. You will get the
motivation by fellow participants. You will work together for reaching your
common goals. However our program does not include more than 12 participants; thus allowing you to benefit totally from our caring and counseling.
The ideal would be that you convince friends and/or relatives to join you as the house has up to 6 bedrooms (with single or twin beds) for all of you. Your
family/friends circle will support you in your long term efforts if they are involved from the start. It is statically proven indeed that the involvement of spouses is critical for long term benefits. People who accompany you won’t be obliged to follow the program but everybody is welcome to participate to activities (gym, sightseeing, beach, …). There is a
declining pricing depending on the number of persons of your party and the duration of your stay. Moreover you can get group air fare if you are a party of at least 10 persons. If supporters of yours cannot join for 3 weeks, they can stay less or be replaced by other friends as long as the number of occupied rooms is the same for the entire session. We can also organize tours for accompanists (itinerary, transport, accommodation…) in inner Provence, Italy, Paris… during their stay at extra but moderate fee.
Some session are reserved for families with kids (under their parents’ responsibility). Under 18 are not accepted in non family sessions. Young participants must respect the house rules and quietness of the residents.
You will leave your home environment which often promotes unhealthy routines and learn to
change your life style for an healthier one. The decision to attend our program requires a
strong commitment from you though. We won’t be successful if you do not play the game & do not respect our advices & rules.
