Placebo Diet Retreat | Weight loss & detox retreats

Janet Thomson, best-selling author, TV favourite and an undisputed expert in her field, will help you change the way you think and feel about food, courtesy of her 2-night Placebo Diet retreat. In 3 inspirational sessions you will learn how to control your brain and, more importantly, how to change it.

Helping you to lose weight and adopt motivational practices for all areas of your life, Janet’s practical techniques, nutrition tips and exercises will aid you in shedding unwanted habits and cravings and install positive beliefs and behaviours.

If you are fed up of endless diets and particularly emotional eating, Janet will help you change how you think and feel about food, and yourself. Ultimately she’ll give you the tools you need to change your mind and your body in her three hour practical and informative sessions.

About Janet Thomson

An outstanding therapeutic and nutritional life coach, Janet's approach is informative, motivational, and empowering.

She has already changed the way thousands of people think about food in order to help them lose inches and gain health, using mind-reprogramming in place of willpower – which makes her Champneys resident Jedi.

Janet says: “Learning to control and train your brain, and subsequently changing how you think is a valuable life skill. It’s one that will not only help you lose weight but help in all areas of your life.”

What they say...

"Ten months after working with you at Champneys, I have lost three stone. I haven't done masses more exercise or joined a gym ... just followed your advice. As silly as it sounds, I eat what I want: it's what I want that has changed! Significantly, my BMI has dropped from 30.6 (obese) to 24.2 (safe range). Would it be exaggerating to say, "you saved my life?" – JUDY WILLIAMSON | TRING RETREAT, SUMMER 2019
