Weight Loss Program at Kamalaya Koh Samui…A Guest Experience

Watch Australian winemaker Mark Lane as he goes through his healthy weight loss program – Ideal Weight – at Kamalaya Koh Samui in Thailand. After a move that took him across the country from Western Australia’s Margaret River wine region to the Victorian town of Bendigo and following a busy and stressful vintage, Mark had gotten off-track with his diet and exercise program. During his 7-day program, which included Traditional Chinese Medicine, personal fitness training, nutrition advice, Far-infrared saunas, regular Chi Nei Tsang (Taoist abdominal massage) and healthy and nutritious meals, Mark lost weight, gained vitality and took home a host of healthy lifestyle advice to incorporate into his regular routine. On his departure, Mark said, “I feel fitter and great. I've lost just over 2 kg. That's good, 2 kilos is good. I probably need to lose 8, but that’s going to take a bit more work over a longer period of time. While I’ve been here definitely learnt a lot of new things, I've got a take-away list of things I have to change in diet. Not too major, some of them. Some of them significant for a period of time.”
