A fat camp, weight loss camp, or fat farm is a type of residential program where people who are overweight or obese go to attempt to lose weight through exercise and lifestyle changes.

Overview

One goal of weight loss camps is to help the guests lose weight.

Some programs not only focus on weight loss, but on changing behavior through a combination of training on self-regulatory behaviors and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as maintaining weight loss after campers return home.[1] Some experts believe these are key elements of an effective program.[2][failed verification]

One study found that adolescents reported decreased body shape dissatisfaction and increased self-esteem immediately after losing weight at a weight loss camp.[3][non-primary source needed] These improvements were directly related to the amount of weight lost, with the greatest benefit to those adolescents who lost the most weight.[3]

Multiple films and television shows have featured or mentioned programs such as these, including:
