Are you looking for a 'weight loss retreat' or 'weight loss boot camp' to help you lose weight and improve your health? Searching for a weight loss spa or 'fat farm'?

For over 30 years H3I weight loss health spa program has helped Guests achieve healthy weight loss and improve their health. Give yourself the jump start you need and attend our program to get healthy.
Over the years, our weight loss spa program has been a leader in the 'health and wellness' industry; incorporating the most up-to-date science and medicine. Unlike other fat farms and fat camps, our program premises have been long-standing, rooted in true human behavior and human biology:
- Medical research proves our Healthy LifestyleTM program is the best solution for permanent healthy weight and prevention or control of chronic disease.
- People know the Healthy Lifestyle is how they should live, but it's hard to do, especially when our environment works against us.
- BUT: when people are given the right training, encouragement, knowledge and reinforcement they CAN adopt the Healthy Lifestyle and gain its benefits.
- Once a positive attitude based in self-awareness, control and self-acceptance evolves, Guests DO make habits of health permanent, and they succeed.
- H3I weight loss spa program is designed to help Guests adopt habits of the Healthy Lifestyle, while in the company of like-minded fellow Guests, being led by H3I Program presenters and fitness professionals.
- The value of the Healthy LifestyleTM program is that, once you adopt it, it is yours forever, and the benefits will always flow to you.
Our program is built on a foundation of core principles, lifestyle management, nutrition, fitness, and behavior modification, to help you lose weight, be as healthy as you can, and maintain healthy habits for a lifetime!
Unlike many 'adult fat camps' or 'fat farms,' we never recommend gimmicks, quick weight loss pills, or fad diets just because they are currently in the news. Our Healthy LifestyleTM program is personalized and designed for you! Experience permanent healthy weight loss and learn how to maintain your health for the rest of your life.
If you have failed at another 'fat farm' or one of the 'fat camps' or on a fad diet of some kind, don't despair.

If you are looking to make a healthy change in your life ... for good ... our Healthy LifestyleTM program is for YOU!
Some weight loss spas expect you to live in a barracks-like setting (is this a 'weight loss boot camp?'), and others call themselves 'weight loss resorts' and distract you with pampering services. H3I does neither. We provide comfort, privacy and control for our Guests in a beautiful weight loss retreat setting (please visit Photo Tour ). We are a weight loss 'spa', and offer spa services, but our program is for those who want to lose weight and are ready to Get Serious!

What's in a Name? Weight Loss Spa? Fat Farm?
If you have been looking for a weight loss spa, you've probably been using words you've learned to use to talk about us. Some people may use different words. Here's a brief summary about what are the differences -- or not -- between weight loss spas, fat farms, and adult fat camps, plus some variations.
The idea of spa actually began in the town of Spa, Belgium, where the 'waters were taken' as treatment of certain illnesses. In medieval times, drinking and bathing in these waters was actually helpful in treating illnesses caused by iron deficiency.
Today, H3I weight loss spa is a direct descendant of this concept, but with lots better medical science behind it. We help treat chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, and heart conditions with the many elements of the healthy lifestyle. The 'spa' part of the term refers to our being a residential retreat where you will come to change the pace and substance of life: thus, a weight loss retreat.
Somewhat different is 'fat farm.' This term seems to come from the English habit of calling weight loss spas or health retreats 'health farms' owing to their purpose and rural location (it was basically healthy to get out of the cities in the 19th century). Fat farms share the weight loss spas value of being a residential retreat.
An adult weight loss camp or fat camp is rooted in a slightly different idea. Camps are also retreats from everyday life, but they often involve a seasonal and/or group-centered practice of some kind. The H3I weight loss spa is upscale compared to most places you would call a 'fat camp'.
All of these terms share some elements with our weight loss spa concept. A fat farm, adult fat camp, or weight loss retreat all involve a residential weight loss center of some kind. Getting away from it all is important: you need to focus on your healthy lifestyle goals in a place where old habits are easier to shed.
What is special about the H3I weight loss spa is our focus: we are different than most other weight loss spas or fat farms because the Healthy Lifestyle is THE point. Not just a a diet or hiking or getting away from it all for a while: the Healthy Lifestyle is THE path medical research has found to move you toward healthy long life. The components of that healthy lifestyle are elaborate--but you can learn them and do them. That's what a weight loss spa is all about.
What follows in this area is a summary of what H3I weight loss spa is about. If you have time and prefer to browse around the site, you will find even more detail on our Healthy Lifestyle program.
Hilton Head Health Institute is a weight loss spa for women and men that far exceeds the ordinary weight loss camp, weight loss clinic, or fat farm. The Hilton Head Health Institute - The Weight Loss Health Spa - delivers successful healthy weight loss to Guests, and that's why we are among the premier healthy weight loss spas and retreats in America.
For 30 years, the Hilton Head Health Institute weight loss spa has been helping people like you lose weight and keep it off. For good. If you are serious about weight loss, and have not kept weight off with ordinary diets, fat farms or so-called weight loss boot camps, but instead fail in the end, you will find answers at the Institute. Even other weight loss spas look to us for leadership!
Most guests experience a 7 to 14 pound loss in two weeks at our Hilton Head weight loss spa and retreat. Based on sound medical practice and recognizing the mind-body connection, our proven lifestyle management approach helps you develop personalized lifestyle tools and gather the support needed to make your healthy weight loss permanent.
Call one of our helpful Program Consultants at 800-292-2440 for more information, or send us an email at getserious@hhhealth.com and we’ll get in touch with you.
Here’s why you should choose our weight loss spa retreat over the ordinary fat farm or camp:
Weight loss success: at our weight loss spa, you will learn how to lose weight permanently. A University of South Carolina study showed that 68% of our guests either kept weight losses or actually lost more after two years.
Feeling and being healthier: we give you the tools to manage diabetes and other chronic disease, or for diabetes prevention if you are in a prediabetes condition. Science has proven that healthy weight loss, healthy eating and fitness routines make dramatic improvements in health, and help control common chronic illnesses like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, stress, and general lack of stamina.
Expert staff: we are credentialed, knowledgeable and experienced. From intake health assessments to healthy eating counseling to total fitness, our weight loss spa staff is dedicated to your success.
Better quality of life through holistic health: we aim to make you healthy and confident. We do not exist just to pamper you on the outside as some health spa services do. We aim to pamper the inner person so the enjoyment of life sticks with you everyday.
Emotionally supportive environment: we and our Guests share a caring concern for each other. We are a small, focused and personal weight loss health spa--not a typical weight loss camp or fat farm factory. Like-minded people enjoy a safe and helpful social environment conducive to lifestyle change.
Methods that work at home: we want to go home with you. Our purpose is to educate and teach—these lessons are yours to take home, and they will be effective there. Many guests make friends to keep, and this growing network connects your home to ours.
Tranquil island location: Hilton Head Island offers a perfect backdrop for a rejuvenating retreat for a true weight loss vacation. Enjoy the relaxations the island has to offer within your personalized program.
Learn the feeling of success!
Not a quick-fix weight loss diet or one-size-fits-all fat farm, our weight loss health spa engages the whole person. We do away with the weight loss gimmicks that lead to “yo-yo dieting” and weight fluctuations that make you feel like a failure. At the Institute, healthy weight loss will become a lasting part of your life, embedded in a personalized, everyday healthy eating and fitness regimen. You will achieve permanent weight loss by learning healthy eating, cooking, and exercise habits.
Enjoy our award-winning cuisine.
Healthy weight loss is not about suffering or deprivation. Our delicious, low-fat weight loss spa meal plan offers a healthy balance of lean protein sources, fresh fruits and vegetables -- while eliminating refined carbohydrates. The portion-controlled menu guarantees a well-balanced diet that meets all of your permanent healthy weight loss and weight management goals without guilt or sacrifice.
Quick weight loss diet fads and fat farm factories produce short-term results. But the satisfying cuisine and healthy eating habits taught in our healthy weight loss retreat classes produce lasting success.
