clipped from us.mg2.mail.yahoo.com Cash incentives may spur weight-loss, study suggests. The AP (9/25) reports, "People will lose weight for money, even a little money," according to a study published in the September issue of the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Researchers paid "200 overweight employees at several colleges in North Carolina" to lose weight as part of the study. The participants were "divided into three groups. One group received no [cash] incentives while the other two groups received $7 or $14 for each percentage point of weight lost. ... Participants didn't get any help on how to lose weight." The results showed that "[e]mployees who received the most incentives lost the most weight, an average of nearly 5 pounds after three months. Those offered no incentives lost 2 pounds; those in the $7 group lost about 3 pounds."
