Losing Weight Can Cost You - WORK OUT!

Wake up. When is everyone going to figure this stuff out? All the fancy, well-marketed diet gimmicks in the world won't fix you. If you don't raise your heart rate and exert yourself, you'll keep getting what you've been getting. Read below...

Assuming you've already decided that the money-saving "eat less" method won't work for you: How much will it cost to lose 30 lbs? Bankrate checked out five diet programs and calculated the total cost based on losing the recommended healthy amount of weight per week:

Jenny Craig: $399 with a payment plan or $358 upfront, not including food.

LA Weight Loss: Calculating the cost with a setup fee of $174 and $7 per week charge, the total cost of the plan is $685 for 73 weeks, not including the cost of food and L A Lite bars.

NutriSystem: $1,174.88, including all food, except fresh greens and dairy.

Weight Watchers: The total cost is between $214.80 and $299.80, depending on location, not including food.

The Zone Diet: $3,599.10 to $4,798.80 including all food.

Low carb. Low fat. Low energy. A low-down, dirty drag. I still like the eat less (and eat REAL) method, but to each his own!
