Money well-motivated to lose weight

This is the conclusion, researchers from the Mayo Clinic. They studied the effect of the stimulus on weight loss: the work was drawn four groups of people, each of which held its own program of weight loss. Members of the two groups received money for their achievements, and the members of the other two - no.

The purpose of the test was to lose per month by two kilograms. Members received incentive programs per month for $ 20, if you reach that goal, and those who have not reached the goal, pay $ 20 in the prize fund. As a result, "paid" Group results were much better. On average, people in this group have lost a year of four kilograms, compared to just one kg of people from other groups. Moreover, in the first two groups, one-year course completed 62% of the participants in the second - only 26%.

According to one of the study's authors Donald Hensruda, for many people the traditional treatments do not work, so nutritionists have to approach the problem creatively.
