Hotels in Japan are starting to offer fasting packages for guests looking to lose weight in a comfortable and safe environment, under professional supervision. These packages often involve intermittent fasting, a diet based on cycling between periods of fasting and normal eating. The aim is to reduce food intake in order to achieve effective weight loss.
Hotels in Yokohama that serve special meals to their guests
Join the Kahala Hotel & Resort in Yokohama, which will start offering fasting packages in January, with a three-day, two-night package for two people ranging from 136,620 yen to 389,620 yen ($875-$2,495).
The hotel's dining options are mainly for women, as groups of friends or family. Some guests become friends and plan to meet again in a few months. Some come from Osaka on the shinkansen to the hotel every month.
Male guests who sign up for the fasting package are often the ones who invite business partners to the experience. Guests who sign up can exercise by jogging or walking around the hotel's beachfront property. The hotel also has a gym and a swimming pool. Packages may include personal training and beauty treatments.
Intermittent fasting does not require clients to fast continuously for long periods of time, but instead involves going through periods of not eating, alternating with regular meals. While some plans may require clients to fast for up to 24 hours, most clients only fast for shorter periods, which helps to reduce hunger pangs.
The hotel will serve easy-to-digest dishes for guests.
In fact, many people who have taken part in this fasting service have reported that they often feel hungry again just 4-5 hours after their last meal. However, with the support and guidance of the experts, customers can maintain their diet effectively and safely, while enjoying the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel.
Guests using Kahala Hotel & Resort's fasting services are assigned a licensed "fasting manager" who will provide support to ensure a safe process as well as time for consultation.
Providing these fasting packages not only helps customers achieve their weight loss goals but also gives them a new and exciting vacation experience. This is also a testament to the hotel service industry in Japan always striving to innovate and meet the diverse needs of customers.
