New reports claim that the obesity levels in British children are such that many of this generation are unlikely to outlive their parents.

The Carnegie Weight Loss Camp for Children is the first residential camp of it’s kind in Europe and is the only scientifically proven weight loss camp for young people in the world.

Nestled in the Yorkshire countryside Carnegie Camp offers holistic weight loss programmes for clinically obese children (the heaviest of which being a 35 stone 15 year old). A total of 600 children have attended since it’s opening in 1999 and lost on average 2-4lbs a week and gained an overall increase of 20% fitness. Interestingly attendees have gone on to report weight loss in other of their family members and even in the family dog.
