But despite it all, he admits he is the most relieved to have shed his ‘fat guy’ identity, now feeling lighter and quieter on the inside

The Chinese government claims that nearly half the population is overweight, and they have launched a 3-year weight management campaign to try and get it under control
Chinese weight loss camps have boomed in popularity in recent years, and there are now over 1,000 facilities operating nationwide, many of them repurposed from old schools and dormitories, which should give you some indication of the vibe. Some facilities are fenced, have steel gates, and some have electric wiring along the perimeter specifically to discourage people from leaving.
Exits are manned by security 24 hours a day. Two-week programs are available, but trainers will strongly encourage you to sign up for the full 28 days for “best results.” The cost runs between $600 and $1,000, which, for a month of three-a-day workouts and 1,300 calories, isn’t so bad if you rebrand it as an “all-inclusive transformation retreat.”

Obesity-related health problems are a massive drain on public funds and the healthcare system, making this campaign a matter of government interest

The Chinese government says that nearly half its adult population is currently overweight or obese, a number that researchers warn could climb to nearly two in three by 2030. That also means obesity-related healthcare costs will potentially account for over a fifth of the country’s total healthcare spending. Thus the 3-year weight management campaign was born.
As for whether they actually work long-term, doctors are measured in their enthusiasm. Charles Poon, medical director of Raffles Clinics China, acknowledged that the structure and accountability can be genuinely useful as a catalyst, but warned that “a camp that runs too aggressively can cause harm.”
Older adults, people with underlying health conditions, and children should all approach with caution and a medical assessment. And everyone else should probably make sure they are comfortable with electric fencing before they hand over their passport.
