Why Come to a Weight loss boot camp?

And why come all the way to France for it?

These are the two most common questions I'm asked by women and men who want to shape up.

Because, losing weight is not actually hard, correct?

The idea behind it is simple - simply consume less, exercise more... give it some time and perseverance and hey presto! The weight's gone.

Yes, it's simple yet not necessarily easy.

The problem is, we tend to attempt to get slimmer by willpower and dieting alone. This is rarely successful.

First, losing weight is one of the most challenging things you'll ever do because your body just wants to cling on to the fat it's stored

Telling a man or woman who's "dieting" to "be strong and just "not eat" is akin to telling a stream not to run downhill - hunger is one of the most powerful drives we have.

At a weight loss boot camp all the help you need to change your mindset so weight loss no longer needs willpower can be made available to you in an environment where you will not be distracted and you can focus all your energy on the immediate task.

Why we need this "reprogramming" is easy to understand: our willpower is an expression of concentrated mental effort, and in just the same way as you can't run at a sprint forever or drive a car with the accelerator flat to the floor for long without damaging the motor, you can't generally focus your willpower for lengthy periods.

Willpower really comes into its own when we use it for bursts like when we're flagging in the gym or out on a run.

So at a weight loss boot camp you'll learn new tips, techniques, strategies and skills that will allow you to avoid the typical dead-end where you look ahead at the weight you have to lose over the next few months and imagine you're going to be ravenous all that time and tell yourself you'll never be able to do it.

It's possible you DO have a lot of weight to lose and if so, it's silly to deny it.

It is going to take some time and the more weight you have to lose, the longer it's going to take.

But that's no reason to feel down.

Why?

Because an effective weight loss boot camp plan is created specifically to remove the need for willpower virtually entirely.

So, to answer the second question: why France?

Well, the unique environment of France with the weather, the scenery and the fact you're out of your usual setting means it becomes possible to develop an exclusive luxury boutique weight loss Programme tailored individually for you.

And all through your stay you'll be naturally reprogramming your unconscious to make sure you stick to your eating plan and exercise regime without having to worry about it, not only while you're at the weight loss boot camp, but also after you return home (they'll become ingrained actions, just like cleaning your teeth); in addition you'll have clear, measurable, realistic and attainable goals you can track without effort - and this, perhaps surprisingly, is all by itself going to make your progress and ultimate success faster, easier and far more certain.

So this is why you'll frequently get better results at a weight loss boot camp so you can simply relax, certain you can and will reach your goals if you stick to the Programme designed for you while you're there.

Failure becomes impossible!
