Making the decision to go on a retreat for weight loss is your first important step.

A health and fitness retreat offers the opportunity to take some time out from the 'normal' routine and spend time on yourself.

Life is so busy these days, often with more stress than we would like, and it's easy to get stuck into our patterns.

It's also a holiday, which is always nice, and time spent on positive experience and outcomes.

The group on the retreat often offer the support and encouragement to make it pay off.

And even more than weight loss it can offer time to reset and renew, not just body but mind too, a time of real change.

These weight loss programs can be a realignment of life.

A wellness holiday can really change your outlook and be the start of change.

If you have decided to take part then that's the first move.

Next is to find the weight loss program that is right for you because there are many types.

A big part of these health and fitness retreats is education of diet.

The body loves good food.

One part of the retreat focus will be food and diet, and whilst you are there you will most likely consume healthy green food, maybe even raw.

And hopefully some great green cold pressed juices and shots of wheatgrass too.

Altering your pattern to consume healthy food when you go home has the potential to change your life. We are what we consume.

Good diet changes our whole system and greatly impacts on our energy and clarity of mind.

Weight Loss vacations always involve activity. There are retreats of different levels so there will be something that matches what you are looking for.

Whether its the flow of yoga weight loss, running, swimming or group fitness classes the weight loss fitness retreat will include movement.

There are lots of affordable ways of achieving your wellness goals in Thailand.

Retreats can have different approaches with the same objective of weight loss.

It may be healthy eating and activity or it may be a detox weight loss retreat.
