Let’s Go To The Farm - Fat Farm That Is!
by BoomerYearbook.com
The term Fat Farm seems a crude way of describing an establishment involved in weight loss. Ironically enough the title came from those that have weight problems themselves. As far back as 50 years ago, places like fat camps, fat farms and boot camps for weight loss were extremely popular. Mainly because they were a great place to go and lose weight quickly. No one who attended the majority of these places promoted them as being vacation resorts as the food intakes bordered on starvation. The norm caloric intake was restricted to between 400-900 per day. In addition, there were extensive exercise programs and a selection of nutritional supplements added to the regimen. In some places, alternative measures such as colonics were also used to promote weight loss.
