A Healthy Weight Loss Program for Serious People

Our healthy weight loss spa program is for people who are serious about losing weight and keeping it off.  At H3I - The Weight Loss Health Spa - we pamper the inner person by providing the foundation for healthy weight loss that goes home with you and stays with you.  A pampering spa treatment is wonderful, but it will wear off.  Our program can become part of your healthy lifestyle for good.

Grounded in the best medical knowledge, the Hilton Head Health Institute's weight loss spa program provides you with the tools needed to realize permanent healthy weight loss through health, nutrition, and fitness. Unlike most weight loss camps or weight loss retreats, we focus on the behaviors and choices you can change, and build them into routines you can keep.   No short-term fad, this is a serious program designed to become an integral part of your lifestyle over the long haul.

When you get to know us, you’ll be familiar with the 4 aspects of our Healthy Lifestyle™ program and how it will lead to healthy weight loss for you:

Knowledge:  We are not the type of weight loss camp or so-called fat farm that promises a quick fix through gimmick diets or 'tough love' interventions.  Instead, we use current medical knowledge about nutrition and fitness and how these relate to disease processes.  Then, we incorporate this knowledge into a personalized healthy weight loss program for each guest.  Part of your weeks at our weight loss spa will be spent learning the facts about what it takes to gain and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Nutrition: Our award-winning cuisine is delicious as well as reduced carb and low-fat, offering a nutritional balance of lean protein sources, fresh fruits and vegetables, and just the right balance of healthy, unrefined carbohydrates that you need for total health.  In every week in the Healthy Lifestyle™ program you will learn more about foods, cooking and how to choose nutritious but healthy meals. 

Fitness: A personalized health and exercise plan, incorporating your needs and fitness level, will help maintain your weight loss at home.  As part of a holistic approach, this personalized exercise regimen is designed to complement your healthy eating habits.  If you're trying to manage diabetes, high blood pressure, or other chronic conditions, a true healthy lifestyle that incorporates fitness training is the best approach.  For an extra dose of fitness training, try the Next Level Fitness Specialty Week.

Self-Awareness and a positive attitude:  It’s easy to talk about healthy habits for weight loss, another thing entirely to achieve them.  A critical part of our program addresses the ways you might be sabotaging your own success, and teaches methods to focus on the positive and how to incorporate it in your lifestyle.  The Regaining Control Specialty Week takes on the psychology of the healthy lifestyle and how it can help—or hurt—your weight loss progress.

NO Fad Diets, NO Gimmicks, NO Celebrity Cookbooks
The Institute is no ordinary weight loss clinic or weight loss camp.  We serve men and women who intend to take charge, and two weeks in our healthy weight loss spa program gives them the tools for success.  This is not a typical one-size-fits-all fat farm:  it depends on a partnership between our weight loss spa program and staff and you to create a serious, long-term lifestyle change.

Our proven, sustainable, Healthy Lifestyle™ program is based on the latest scientific research about the role of fitness and nutrition in healthy weight loss.  At the Institute, you'll learn to lose weight the healthy way.  Healthy eating doesn't mean depriving yourself.  The Institute will teach you about “unwise, better, best” when it comes to your food choices.  Becoming aware, through education and insight, will help you overcome discouragement, broaden your horizons, and make the best choices for you.
