Always on the hunt for a new way to shed those last five
pounds, The Ranch
at Live Oak Malibu is my latest, greatest obsession. What better way to
mentally shape-up and physically slim-down than by checking into an exclusive,
secluded, picturesque Malibu ranch?  Forget Weight Watchers!!! 

I mean, come
on!!! 

Tucked away in the Santa Monica Mountains, this
results-oriented all-inclusive fitness and wellness program just opened in
Malibu this month, and it’s already generating a-list buzz. Here’s the concept
— The Ranch at Live Oak Malibu is a week long, no-options program offering an
intense fitness and wellness regimen designed to “boost endurance and generate
substantial weight loss.” Guests typically shed 5% of their body weight during
the program which is limited to just 14 people per week, and includes
everything from hiking and yoga to vegetarian nutrition classes and daily
afternoon massages.

It doesn’t come cheap, but compared to diamonds and real
estate, The Ranch is a bargain. The price tag is $5600 per person for the week long
stay (Sunday-Saturday, no exceptions). If dropping 5% of your body weight isn’t
enough, a peek of the seasonal organic garden and private Spanish hacienda
guest cottages will surely convince you it’s time to get back to nature. It did
for me.
