“NYC Law Student Addicted to Cheese Went to Nearly $6K-Per-Week Rehab”, Jon Levine, Matthew Sedacca2024-05-18 ()⁠:

…Her weight skyrocketed to a peak of 172 pounds. She also stopped menstruating for 5 months during the throes of her cheese feasts and became at risk for Type 2 diabetes. “My mom said, ‘You’re not well, you’re not okay. . . . you need to go away for a while’”, she said of the family intervention that saved her.

Attending a two-week wellness retreat at Hilton Head Health in South Carolina, which costs at minimum $5,820 a week, helped the Asiago addict gain control over her eating disorder. Instructors and counselors taught her the basics of how to order and prepare healthy meals, count calories and consider healthier snacks, like blueberries or popcorn in lieu of Havarti.

Her weight has since dropped to a string-cheese-slim 123 pounds, in part aided by Ozempic prescribed to deal with her diabetes risk, she said.
