Hotels in Japan are beginning to offer fasting packages for guests who want to lose weight in a comfortable and safe environment, under the supervision of professionals. These fasting packages typically include intermittent fasting, a diet based on alternating periods of fasting and normal eating. The goal is to reduce food intake to achieve effective weight loss.
A hotel in Yokohama that serves special meals to its guests.
By joining Kahala Hotel & Resort in Yokohama, you will be offered fasting packages starting in January, with a three-day, two-night package for two people ranging from 136,620 yen to 389,620 yen (US$875-2,495).
The hotel's menu primarily appeals to women, such as groups of friends or family members. Some guests become friends and plan to meet again after a few months. Some people from Osaka travel to the hotel monthly by Shinkansen bullet train.
Male guests who sign up for fasting packages are often those who invite business partners to experience it. Guests can exercise by jogging or walking around the hotel grounds near the beach. The hotel also has a gym and a swimming pool. Packages may include personal training and treatments at the beauty salon.
Intermittent fasting doesn't require clients to fast continuously for long periods; instead, they experience periods of abstinence from food interspersed with regular meals. While some packages may require clients to fast for up to 24 hours, most participants typically fast for shorter periods, helping to alleviate intense hunger pangs.
The hotel will serve easily digestible dishes for guests.
In fact, many participants in this fasting service have reported that they often feel hungry again just 4-5 hours after their last meal. However, with support and guidance from professionals, clients can maintain their diet effectively and safely while enjoying the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel.
Guests using Kahala Hotel & Resort's fasting service are assigned a licensed "fasting manager" who will provide support to ensure the process is safe and schedule consultations.
Offering these fasting packages not only helps customers achieve their weight loss goals but also provides them with an enjoyable and novel vacation experience. This also demonstrates the Japanese hospitality industry's continuous efforts to innovate and meet the diverse needs of its customers.
