In fact, a study conducted by the Global Health Institute at Duke University found that the average cost per pound on popular weight loss programs was roughly $123 per pound!
That’s a cost of nearly $4,000 just for a chance at losing 30 pounds!
A one-hour consultation with a registered dietitian typically costs $200, with weekly meetings recommended for best results.
That means upwards of $800 per month – just for consultations!
Other methods – including fat-freezing, red-light therapy and contouring med spas can run many thousands of dollars with very mixed results at best.
And for those looking to lose roughly 100 pounds, there are surgical weight loss options including gastric bypass, gastric banding or stomach stapling.
Expect to pay costs of $25,000 or much more depending on the procedure.
What makes these high costs – for what many times is questionable treatment – so frustrating is that in most cases, the expenses are all coming straight out of your pocket.
That’s because most insurance companies view weight loss efforts to be “elective” procedures, and that means their costs are typically not covered under most plans.
This places the burden of payment squarely on you.
With every dollar you spend directly impacting your own household budget, it’s critically important that you meet your weight loss goals in a cost-effective way.
Thanks to the recent FDA approval of a new class of weight-loss medications…that is not only possible – it’s easier and less expensive than most traditional options!

How impressive are the results?
The prestigious New England Journal of Medicine and university obesity researchers report a staggering 20% of body weight loss.
And on CBS This Morning, Gayle King said, “This drug could transform lives…I have a friend who is on it who lost 15 pounds in one week!”
So how does it work?
It’s a custom-blended prescription drug where the treatment is tailor-made for your specific needs. You take it once a week…and it helps you eat less while still getting your recommended daily nutrition.
