Medical Weight Loss & Health Reset Retreat in Mariánské Lázně

The programme starts with paperwork: on arrival day you're handed the F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C lifestyle questionnaire and the DASS-21 psychological questionnaire along with your room key, and you fill them in privately. The next morning you go to the medical/spa reception, where a nurse checks the forms, takes your measurements, and records everything in your electronic medical record before the doctor examines you and writes your treatment plan. You pick up the schedule that same day and start.

What's on that schedule depends on you, but the structure is fixed: two focuses, physical activity and nutrition. The physical side means personalised physiotherapy, fitness sessions and massages, using the local natural resources — mineral water, healing mud, natural CO2 and climatotherapy. The nutrition side means consultations with a nutritionist, a detoxification plan, education sessions, a drinking cure, and a basal metabolism calculation so your menu is actually calibrated to you rather than a generic diet sheet.

Meals run on a set timetable. Breakfast from 7:00 to 8:00 is high in fibre and protein, low in cholesterol, calories and carbohydrates, with herbal teas chosen to support digestion. At 10:00 there's a light snack and 200ml of fresh-pressed juice — beetroot, carrot, celery, black radish and raw potato in a prescribed ratio. Lunch at 12:00 is an unthickened vegetable or legume soup followed by white meat (chicken breast, turkey breast or rabbit) or fish (pike-perch, trout, sea bream, sea bass) with a vegetable side, plus leaf salads with sprouts, oils and seeds.

Afternoon snack at 15:00-16:00 is fruit or a vegetable smoothie with high-fibre foods or seeds. Dinner at 18:00-19:00 skips the soup and repeats the white meat or fish format, with sides like quinoa, millet, semolina, Indian rice, natural rice or sweet potatoes. Then at 21:00-22:00 a second light dinner is delivered to your room. All day there's a drinking regime of alkaline mineral waters and herbal teas.

The hotel itself is set up for this kind of stay: mineral water on tap, healing mud treatments, natural CO2, climatotherapy, a spa centre and a pool, plus fitness facilities, restaurant, bar, 24-hour reception and parking. Guests get free use of the spa and sauna area and the fitness area, and the Mariánbad Kur & Spa Card gives access to regular consultations, lectures, music evenings and cultural events across the spa hotels in town. Before you leave there's a post-stay consultation and a final medical report summarising what changed and what to keep doing.
