Do you like to make bets? Are you
overweight? Do you want to take on a challenge to win money? Well then this new
place is something you might be interested in getting involved with. Besides
where else can you get paid to lose weight? Usually we have to pay some
nutritionist or work out place and hope for results. It seems that we are a
country obsessed with losing weight and we are also obsessed with gambling.
Some genus found a way to combine the both. Yes there is a real company out there that
will bet you that you can’t lose
weight. If you succeed and indeed lose
the weight, you can get thousands of dollars. Should I yo-yo weight just to
make money?
How is this possible and why
didn’t anyone think of this concept to losing weight before? We seem to bet on
just about anything these days anyway. Can this be the future to dieting or are
we just trading one addiction for another? Literally you need to put your money
where your mouth is for this wacky diet challenge. The company is called
HealthyWage.com that allows you to place a bet that you believe that you can
lose the weight. For example if you can lose 40 pounds in 6 months, you can win
$5,000 plus get all the money back you wagered for a grand total of $7,310
dollars.
However, if you do not lose the weight,
you can be out thousands of dollars. Each month you pay about $385 to
HealthyWage.com on your road to the
challenge you set. Can a bet be the ultimate motivation to shedding pounds? According
to studies, people using money as a motivator are 5 times more than likely to
reach their goal weight. Some experts say that betting on weight loss is like
betting your retirement at a Casino. It can be a disaster. According to David
Zinczenko a fitness expert and the author of a book called Eat It
to Beat It, he says that when people go on these short
term diets, even when they attain their
goal, they want to reward themselves with a box of cookies.
HealthyWage.com says that it has
already paid out $2 million dollars in prize money. Yet only 1/3 of participants
actually win their bets. Then I think this company is doing pretty well in
their department. Jimmy Fleming, the Co-Founder of HealthyWage.com believes that there is always a win somewhere.
The number of people who make a bet and then just fall off the radar is very
few. Almost everyone loses some weight. The question is, if you are going to
accomplish your goal. People who have tried everything try this because it is
at least different and it is not based on any kind of food you eat or specific
exercise. You have heard all about those things already. This is about your
willpower.
Most people lose the weight by
counting the calories and counting the amount of steps they take per day with a
counting wristband device. Restrict your calorie intake to no more than 1500
calories per day and walking about 7000 steps per day. Fruit and water powers
you through the hunger pains. The pounds
will come off and soon your bank account will be nicely rewarded not to mention
the better looking person you get to look at in that mirror of yours. Sounds
like a win win to me.
