Fat Camp for Girls and Boys

While a “fat camp” sounds like a good idea, the term we prefer is a “health and fitness camp.” It is true that childhood obesity has reached epidemic rates in the United States while at the same time, girls are bombarded with media images of the ideal female body. Often, these images are simply unrealistic.

It is very important that when addressing your daughter’s weight loss issues, that we frame the intervention in a positive manner. This is why we don’t use the term “fat camp for girls” but instead focus on health, self-esteem, and overall well-being
