Food addiction rehab I was talking with my husband the other day about how food really is an addiction for some people and how others literally don't understand CICO. Proposed to him we could open a food addict rehab center where portion control, healthy eating, and exercise would be incorporated and taught. I think within two to three months any ham would drop a drastic amount of weight. It would be treated just like a mental health institution, visitors limited to an hour, not allowed to bring in anything. Only newspapers allowed for news, no television or Internet, no cell phones, Only books. Doctors on staff to monitor safe losses, make sure that precautions are taken to address excessive cholesterol in the blood stream for rapid loss. Maybe have a green house and garden as part of the contribution work for being at the property, teaching how to grow and harvest, it's also good exercise. Try to make most of the exercise fun, not "workout room cardio" crap except maybe yoga outdoors.  Husband says no way would fatties be willing to submit themselves, much less pay for something like that.  To me it really is a mental illness, this HAES. It's no different than the transgender movement. I would think a facility like that could get government grants, tax write-off, perhaps even donations. Maybe their insurance company would reduce their rates if they obtain x% body fat.
