Boarding School for Overweight Kids

She petrified of gaining weight, and sees herself as her old self.. This is going to led to aneroxia

$50,000 for one year WTF????

slowly puts down huge bag of chips and soda

"I'm like petrified of even gaining 5 pounds" so they made her lose weight but gained yet another eating disorder?

Some of these kids sound like they're developing anorexia..

$50,000 a year are you kidding me

No fat in there diet is not good for them in the long trim.

50 grand! You can build a goddamn gym for that much!

"i am petrified of gaining 5 pounds" ... sounds like an eating disorder creeping up

This is probably not as healthy as people think. They are focused on just losing weight, not healthy eating, long term management and mindset.

If she gets a private trainor it would be cheaper

Most of those kids came out of there with one form of eating disorder or another. Many gained all the weight back and more. I know all of them because I was one of the kids in the video. We were all terrified to gain the weight back. Wellspring taught us that there is no such thing as moderation and they preached to us that we should develop a, "healthy obsession", where we should feel really bad if we messed up but not too bad to where we would want to quit. We were meant to aim for 0 grams of fat a day because they told us there was no such thing as a healthy fat, so we desperately tried to fill up on fat free foods, but to our dismay we always failed to adequately satiate our appetites. When we came back home and back into the real world, most of us failed to uphold our new "healthy lifestyles", no matter how long we had stayed at school and subsequent summer camps. We rapidly began to put the weight back on. We felt like it was all our own faults. That it was a character flaw and personal failure, that we had let our families down and waisted everybody's time and money. Really, we were set up for failure from the start with an unrealistic diet and view of healthy living. Some kids ended up with bulimia, anorexia, or bingeing disorders, depression, etc, and needed further treatment for those problems. This school is no longer running.

a zero fat diet is not healthy :( (Edit: because bodyfat and dietary fat are different things, and while they need to reduce bodyfat, you still need to ingest some dietary fat to maintain proper hormone production and absorb fat-soluable vitamins and minerals effectively)

For 10 dollars you can go to planet fitness. Why pay thousands?

My heart breaks for kids who've been overweight since really young. That's so tough also the bullying is saaaad

Narrator: there is an all you can eat salad bar Also narrator: This program teaches students portion control

Why no fat? Just control the damn calories! Healthy fats like those in avocados, nuts and seeds are really important for all sorts of functions in the body.

Why is everybody in the comments section a doctor all of the sudden.
