If
swimsuit season, reunions, or holiday plans strike fear in your heart,
there's a way to banish those stubborn pounds--once and for all.
Rancho La Puerta is a world-class spa located just three miles south of
San Diego in Baja, Mexico. For more than six decades, Rancho La Puerta,
sister spa to the acclaimed Golden Door in California, has catered to
women and men from around the world. These globetrotters get results;
Rancho La Puerta scores high marks on the return-visitor scale. So, what's
the secret to the spa's success?
We visited the deliberately low-key, hacienda-style resort of Rancho La
Puerta and compiled seven slimming secrets sure to shed (and keep off)
stubborn pounds. Most people see a difference in just one week, but the
real secret to results is a shift in lifestyle habits.
Want more proof? Celebrities such as Jodie Foster, Madonna, Kate Winslet,
and Gillian Anderson have been spotted on the shady, rambling paths of
Rancho La Puerta, where discretion is key, and the focus is on fun, relaxation,
and well being.
There's no boot-camp mentality here to shed unwanted pounds. Visitors
even have to request a private weigh-in. Instead, the friendly, knowledgeable
staff leads by example, with simple yet powerful messages on nutrition,
exercise, and inner peace.
Here are seven steps to start you on the path to renewed health and vigor.
Before long, you'll be slipping into your favorite outfits. But more than
that, these steps are key to long term health and weight management.
