Who is a good candidate for Debra Stefan’s Adult Weight Loss Camp?

A good candidate is coachable, willing to train daily, and ready to adopt new habits in a private residential environment. If you can commit to accountability and follow structured routines, you will succeed here.

How long should I stay at the adult weight loss camp?

A minimum of 30 days produces the best long-term results. Thirty days gives you time to establish consistent habits, adapt to the daily structure, and build the lifestyle you will maintain at home.

What is a typical day like at the camp?

Training takes place both indoors and outdoors on the property, including the sports court and private paved trail. Activities vary based on ability and may include strength training, mobility work, biking, jump rope drills, and supervised meal preparation.

What kind of food will I eat during the program?

Meals are based on whole foods, grass-fed beef, free range chicken, wild caught fish, and organic produce. Groceries are provided, and you prepare meals under supervision so you can continue the same habits at home.

Do I prepare my own meals?

Yes. You prepare meals under supervision in the home kitchen. This teaches real-life skills you’ll rely on after your stay so the results continue long after you return home.

How much exercise will I do each day?

Most guests train up to 3–4 hours per day depending on capability. Workouts are scaled for beginners, older adults, and guests with orthopedic limitations, including joint replacements and mobility challenges. Emphasis is on rest and recovery after workouts.

What are the accommodations like?

Guest rooms are private bedrooms in a real home. Two optional private suites include private baths for an additional fee. The residence overlooks a golf course with expansive desert and mountain views.

How many guests stay at one time?

An average of one to three guests stay at the residence. Debra is the sole trainer-host, and privacy is fully protected. No staff, teams, or outside visitors enter the home during your stay.

Why isn’t the residence open to the public?

The retreat operates under a non-commercial business license inside a gated residential community. For client safety and privacy, the location is not open for public tours and is not listed on Google Places.

What happens during the introductory phone consultation?

We discuss your goals, mobility, medical restrictions, schedule, and expectations. This ensures you are a good fit for the program and confirms your readiness for a structured, residential fitness experience.

Obesity Disability Video Testimonial of 425 Lbs. Man

Obesity Disability 425-pound man could not get up–click the image to learn more.

Obesity Disability

What does it mean to have an obesity disability?

Ask a 425-pound man who fears death by morbid obesity disability to turn around a disabling lifestyle. Lack of activity combined with morbid obesity disables him. Watch his video. Hear his story. He’ll tell you.

I was down. I don’t want to live like that anymore. Being like that’s not living.

Back home on the ranch in Texas, he goes from his bed on a walker to a golf cart. Then, from the golf cart he gets to his truck and drives to town for a fast food spree. Meanwhile, he never gets out of his truck and the only walking he does is with a walker for less than ten feet.

As a result, he has an obesity disability.

Bedridden, except for the daily food binge catches up with him. He’s 425 pounds and can’t qualify for a knee replacement.

Smoking with COPD

Obesity disability along with a long-time smoking habit are two serious comorbidities when he is hit with Covid.

Long-term hospitalization follows multiple emergency visits. Covid worsens his COPD condition. Smoking, obesity, along with a sedentary bedridden lifestyle require oxygen just to use the walker to the bathroom.

Heading to Live-in Weight Loss Retreat

One Zoom interactive assessment with Debra determines what he can do and a routine is set. Accountability for the daily routine goes on for about a week. Then, he realizes he needs rapid progress to achieve his goal as a surgery candidate. By the following week, he arrives and the journey officially begins. His 100-pound journey starts with a scale weight of 423 pounds. On the morning of day 17, he weighs 389. Losing an average of two pounds daily, by way of proper nutrition and a mobility routine, he is ecstatic.

Average weight loss with obesity disability

First of all, the disabled obese man is hardly fit to stand for 30 seconds with the assistance of a walker. Therefore, he is not capable of strenuous exercise. So, mobility movement sequences are his daily drill. Yet, he continues to lose satisfactory weight toward his 100-pound weight loss goal. Keep in mind, that he remains quite sedentary because he fatigues easily. COPD causes him to get out of breath easily.

As a matter of reference, Bariatric MD patient forms state,
“In the first 30 days, most people meet or exceed the average monthly weight loss after gastric sleeve. The post-surgical diet of mostly liquids and pureed foods facilitates rapid changes. On average, you could lose about 5 pounds a week.”

He’s 34.5 pounds down in 17 days losing over two pounds daily surpassing surgical weight loss of five pounds a week.

Therefore, non-surgical healthy weight loss surpasses surgical weight loss and is achievable with a weight loss coach in the right environment. We are in a residence, not a hospital or weight loss clinic.
