If you are overweight and living in Utah there are several ways to lose weight.
Being overweight can cause loss of self-esteem and health problems and generally reduce the quality of your life. If you are overweight and living in Utah, there are several options that you can consider in losing weight. Some of these include surgery, weight-loss camps and health spas.
Instructions
1. Go hiking. What could be a more natural way to lose weight in Utah? Between Bryce Canyon, Arches Canyonlands and Monument Valley, Utah has some of the most beautiful and rugged hiking that the country has to offer. Spending a day or even a few days hiking is an effective calorie burner and a way to relieve stress.
2. Go cross-country skiing. Utah has a dozen different ski resorts throughout the state, and cross-country skiing is one of the best calorie burners there is. This sport is easy to learn and will give you a full-body workout while increasing your metabolic rate, due to the high altitude.
3. Go to the Surgical Weight Loss Center of Utah. This is a branch of the Salt Lake Regional Medical Center. It provides surgical approaches to assist in weight loss. Some of these procedures include the Roux-en-y Bypass, gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy. The weight loss resulting from these procedures is immediate and permanent.
4. Go to a weight-loss camp. If you like to sweat it out, Utah's Live-In Fitness Camp offers training services. Guests are assigned their own studio suite. The approach to weight loss is an overall lifestyle makeover, which includes complete testing of your body, education on nutrition and five to seven hours of daily exercise. You are supported by a professional training staff of personal trainers and health coordinators who are all accredited and certified. As of 2011, rates start at $5,500 for one week, $9,000 for two weeks, $11,000 for three weeks and $14,000 for four weeks.
5. Sign up for the Fast Track Weight Loss Program at the Green Valley Spa in St. George, a program that includes a fitness regime, medical tests, nutritional education and, if necessary, therapy. The goal using this system is to lose one pound per day, and the Spa guarantees that you'll lose 20 pounds in three weeks if you sign up for the 23-day program -- which costs $995 (plus the costs of an All-Inclusive Renewal Package stay of at least seven days, which will set you back at least another $4500) as of 2011.
