Weight loss isolation I have a business idea. But I don't know if it would be allowed legally. I want your thought on it.   The customer is overweight or obese, and they want to lose weight. They arrive at my facility where they are then given consent form. They must sign before joining. In the form it states that they will be locked in a room and not allowed to leave until they lose the required weight.   After signing this form they will be placed into a sizable room. In this room will be a vast collection of media, TV and games. As well as some exercise equipment. The "patient" is not allowed to leave the room.   The person recieves meals through a slot but does not receive enough calories to maintain weight. In order to leave the room the patient must step on a scale and have that scale read a BMI of 20. At which point they are free to leave minus the cost of the program.   Could I legally do this or am I missing something? Seems like it would be 100% effective and would become a huge hit because it is the only "miracle cure" that actually works.
