Is Losing Weight for Dollars a Motivation?
One of the questions we ask a new weight loss client is ‘What is your main reason to lose weight?’ Answers to this question vary from person to person, however the most common responses are comments like ‘to improve my health’, ‘to fit back into my clothes’ and ‘to look good on the beach in summer’. However, according to the latest research, money is the most effective motivator when it comes to the battle of the bulge.
A study released by the Mayo Clinic compared two groups of people who wanted to lose weight. One group was offered money to lose weight, the others were not. The results were amazing! Not only did more of the people in the ‘money for weight loss’ group actually complete the weight loss study, their results were much better! On average, the group who were offered money to lose kilograms lost four times more weight than the group who were not motivated with cash.

Cash might inspire you to lose weight – I mean, I am sure if someone said to you that they would give you $1000 if you lost 10kg, you would probably do it. After all, money talks! But weight loss is one thing – does money help you to keep the weight off? Well NO, if you consider the history of ‘failed celebrities’ who have been sponsored by Jenny Craig. Past Jenny Craig ambassadors have been paid big bucks to promote the weight loss program and most have lost weight beautifully. However, almost all of these ‘stars’ have regained their lost weight plus more – showing that money is not a solution to long term weight control. e.g. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/sydney-confidential/magda-szubanski-has-lost-her-lucrative-contract-with-weight-loss-company-jenny-craig/news-story/1a6e75b71d31e7f4cb0333a068fd2fd6
