An NHS-funded plan has shelled out tens of thousands of Pounds in "air miles for dieters" in an offer to deal with the obesity calamity.
Now, a lot of people are being hired to the programme that gives up to £3,000 for those with the most to drop.
Under the Weight Wins scheme, obese people enroll themselves for a slimming programme and have monthly weigh-ins at their GP surgery, pharmacy or health centre.
They get cash imbursements for every pound that they lose, whilst dieting followed by a 50% "bonus" if they are successful in keeping the weight off for some months.
Final prizes vary from £80 to £3,000, depending upon the duration of the proposal and how much weight desires to be lost. People can either shell out monthly charges or they can be funded by their boss, insurer or local NHS trust.
Today, figures made public on 745 dieters discovered that people lost over a stone on an average (7.2% of their body weight). This was more than twice that of conventional dieters in a control group (5.5lb).
The findings consist of 402 people funded by NHS Eastern and Coastal Kent Primary Care Trust as part of a trial, 36% of whom were males.
