    You realize “in my experience” means I have done it myself? And let me tell you they are nice and good to drop a few kilos in a structured and supervised environment.

    Afterwards you are right back in your normal routine, and there you need to make the actual change happen. Permanently changed eating habits and frequent physical exertion.

    If you can’t do that no fat camp in the world helps you long term.

      Well, it’s true that they don’t help in the long term by themselves, but they are a huge help to headstart a change in routine.

      You don’t need to tell me, as I said in my comment, I too did an intensive program and in helped me reroute my routine. It might help that since I needed to down 30kg there was no way in hell I’d do that in a week, so I focused on what I already wrote in the last comment.

      All I wanted to say in my last comment is that they are good to reset a routine so that you can start getting new habits for the upcoming marathon.
