Are Weight Loss Camps the Only Choice?
If you are interested in finding a place to go to lose weight that focuses on long-term results and permanent weight loss, there is an exciting new alternative school for overweight and obese teens. Academy of the Sierras is a cross between a college prep boarding schools and summer weight loss camps. Students continue their academic school work, participate in fun activities and sports, and thrive in the social climate of a school where they are accepted and nurtured by fellow teens struggling with weight. Many weight loss camps do not last long enough to have lasting effects on overweight teens. Academy of the Sierras allows teens to live and breathe getting healthy throughout the year.
If your teen has been putting off his or her life due to struggles with weight, the safe, healthy environment at AOS gives them the environment they need to get excited about their lives and start fresh. Many of these overweight teens are very unhappy and lonely. The rate of depression among overweight teens is much higher than among their normal-weight peers. They may go on diet after diet, sometimes succeeding in losing significant weight, but eventually gaining it back, plus some. The intensive experience of a healthy boarding school that focuses on healthy eating habits not only helps them lose weight but to regain self-confidence and hope for the future.
If your teen's life is passing by while they "wait" for the weight to somehow magically disappear, Academy of the Sierras may be just the answer to their struggle.
