STUDY: MEN WILL LOSE WEIGHT FOR MONEY

A new study from the University of Stirling in Scotland, published in the journal JAMA Network, finds that overweight men are more willing to lose weight if there’s a financial reward in doing so. 585 men were divided into three groups. One group got a $500 cash incentive and motivational text messages, another group got just motivational text messages and a third group got neither. Men who got motivational text messages and who received the money at the end were more likely to lose weight, losing an average 4.8% of their body weight. Those who were sent just texts lost 2.7% and those who got neither lost just 1.3%.
* But you know we’re just going to buy more beer and hamburgers with the money.
* Scotsmen could lose 1.3% of their weight just taking off their bagpipes.
* Please. I don’t think $500 will do it. I mean, just one shot of Ozempic is around 900 bucks!
* So, basically, you have to hire men to lose weight. It’s a second job to them.
