Quick & Skinny
The University of Florida’s Weight Loss Study supports what we believe, and teach, here at Mountain Trek. Our 1200 calorie-controlled spa cuisine, 6-7 hours of physical activity per day, and stress reduction and detoxification practices, benefit our guests with a rapid, healthy raise in metabolism. The by-product: weight loss averages of 4-6 lbs for women and 7-9 lbs for men in 6 days. The physical and motivational results from 1 or 2 weeks in our Program combine with our educational lifestyle tips, to support our guests in maintaining increased health goals when they go home.

We’re not pulling a fast one: Losing weight quickly at the get-go may help you lose more overall. In a University of Florida study of 262 women on a diet-and-fitness program – participants were encouraged to stick to 1,200 calories and to walk an extra 3000 steps per day – those who dropped the most pounds in the first month went on to lose the most weight by the end of the 18-month study (30 pounds, versus 11 for the others). The fast-starters also kept the weight off most successfully. Seeing larger changes early on may give you the “I-can-do-it” confidence you need to stick to your plan, says lead study author Lisa Nackers, who suggests aiming to drop a pound and a half to two pounds per week for the first month to get the lift.
