For some it’s about the weight loss and being on our meal plan, while participating as much as you can. For others it’s a vacation. Perhaps you want to get away for a few weeks, but don’t want to be constantly tempted by the wrong foods. Maybe you just need a break from work or school. Or you might want to tackle some of the pounds you put on in college. Perhaps you would like some time for yourself, or maybe you don’t have anyone to travel with you. Here you don’t have to spend your time figuring out what to do all day. It’s all easy at Shane Weight Loss Resorts. You will be treated like the adult that you are. We don’t force you to do anything, but hope you’ll make the best of what we have to offer.

We make weight loss easy for you. Everyone is individually served delicious, healthy, portion controlled meals. Our menu is based on what we learned from forty years of experience and was painstakingly designed by a team of professional Registered Dietitian and Food Service experts. We serve regular food – items that you like to eat. This is a plan offering foods that you will continue to eat on your own at home and in restaurants.

Shane Resorts believes what most every main-stream dietitian advises, that the best way – the safest and most long lasting way to lose weight – is by eating appropriate portions and participating in moderate exercise.

We feel that you will enjoy the food and find that the portion sizes, plus two snacks a day, will not leave you craving more food. With every passing day your appetite will diminish and you will become used to eating smaller amounts of servings at each meal.

It’s a simple philosophy, but one that works unlike many fad diets.

Camp Shane, the famous weight loss camp for boys & girls 7 – 17 years old and Young Women 18-25, was founded in 1968. The camp has helped thousands lose weight while enjoying their stay at the camp.

Due to the large number of participants over the age of 18 requesting we run a program in a less rustic setting than at camp, we now offer this Young Adult weight loss program at the Nevele Grande Resort.

By running this program at the Nevele along side the hotels guests, we enjoy very favorable group rates and the use of its outstanding facilities. We have our own, separate dining room and are served meals prepared according to our menu and recipes. At various times we have facilities for our own exclusive use at other times we share them.
