The Obisdian retreat
It takes determination to change your mindset about your relationship with food and exercise and the way to do this may be away from the normality of your routine. This is most proably why there has been a recent surge in the number of visitors to health and well-being retreats.
A British firm riding on the back of this soaring demand is the Obsidian Health Retreat based in Alicante, which has just opened Europe’s first nutritarian hotel, just a short (and low cost) flight away from many major UK airports.
The new hotel sees the Obsidian business triple in size to cope with demand. 
Run by health and wellbeing experts Andy and Carol West, Obsidian broke new ground last year when it opened Europe’s first year-round health retreat offering prices at ‘an affordable holiday’ rate.
Andy West says: “Watching the TV at the moment it seems almost every other program or every other advert is for some kind of fitness or dietary product, but people are getting to such a level that they are having to take control of their own life and not rely on ‘the system’.
“More people are taking a DIY approach to their health and searching out new ways to lose weight, get educated, ditch long term medication and kick start a more healthy lifestyle.
“Taking control of your own life and health is something we promote so strongly at the retreat and we give guests the tools to make not just short term change but longer term lifestyle adjustments too.”
The retreat is designed for anyone and everyone who wants to improve their health. In particular, people with medical conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and those recovering from illnesses. Or those who just want to detox and lose weight. The average weight loss during a week at Obsidian is nine lbs following the juicing and nutritarian program.
