Brits Get Paid to Lose Weight

Here are the facts:

  • 2/3 of British adults are either obese or overweight.
  • Obesity is costing the British economy/healthcare system billions of dollars….£16 billion annually
  • £16 billion is a lot of money.

As a result, the British government is getting creative in their efforts to slim down the nation.

And their latest effort is to pay people to lose weight.

Does it work?

Yes, you get pay to loss weight?
After getting the payment, you become fat again.
The desire to loss your fat should be not because all the money!
But, still goood campaign, though :)

This would be amazing in the U.S. I'm so jealous. Probably because I'm broke, but I think this would definitely provide that last little push of motivation I'm lacking to get really serious about weight loss.

My theory. More men participate. Men lose weight more easily. Therefore, this may explain the results. What do you think?
