Ask Susie: Weight Loss Spas

Question:

My husband and I both need to lose at least 40 lbs.  Do you have any suggestions?”

LW

Answer:

Dear LW,

Lots of spas say they can help you lose weight.  In fact, SpaFinder.com lists over 100 getaway spas that offer weight loss as one of their primary programs.

I would, however, recommend narrowing your search results through other filters to find spas where criteria such as “portion control” and “serves no alcohol” can help make it easier for you and your husband to lose weight and get fit.

You can do this search yourself by going to the Advanced Search page on SpaFinder.com and putting checkmarks in front of these factors:

• Getaway Spas
• Portion Control
• Serves No Alcohol
• Destination Spa
• Weight Loss

Plus, to see what spa-goers like you voted as the very best weight loss spas in the world, look to the SpaFinder Readers’ Choice Award winners for Best for Weight Loss.

In addition to the standout spas chosen by our readers, these spas, including some all-time favorites, are excellent options for weight loss: Canyon Ranch, Massachusetts and Arizona; Deerfield Spa; Fresh Start Health Retreat Centers; The Oaks at Ojai; Quiberon at Sofitel Dietetique Thalassa Sea & Spa; Rancho la Puerta; and the hot new Ranch at Live Oak.

Congratulations on deciding to lose weight, and all the best for a happy and healthy New Year!

Susie
