You probably have heard of people getting cash so they will quit smoking. However, have you ever heard of people getting cash for losing weight? You may not have but now it is happening all the time.
This all started a few years ago. Incentives for people to lose weight fast (or at least at a quicker pace than before) include one or more of the following: gift cards, vacation points, and of course the money!
How it Works
One example of incentives is an independent website that offers cash to people who lose a set amount of weight in a year. There are different levels of sign-up either for free or they might put money down to increase earnings if and when goals are met.
Similar programs are designed to help people in a similar way. Some of them require an up front deposit or wager while others do not. It all depends upon what type of weight loss incentive program you join.
Does this really work?
People who participate say that money is a motivator, because it is tangible. One person that has followed one of these incentive programs says it makes it tough to cheat on a diet, too.
However, most of these programs are on the honor system. Therefore, it can be easy for people to life. Perhaps in the future there will be some more stringent guidelines set by the hosts of certain “cash for weight loss” programs.
