How much does it cost to lose a pound of fat?

This is a bit of a loaded question, but it is a good thing to ask yourself when you are looking to lose weight. There are a lot of nutrition and diet programs that cost up to $100 per week. This is a LOT to pay for one to two pounds per week!! 20 pounds of fat could end up costing you $2000. Use your gym membership and maybe a few personal training sessions and not only will you lose the weight, you will reap the health benefits for THE REST OF YOUR BODY (heart, lungs, cancer prevention, bone health, disease prevention, etc)
If you think the diet centers were expensive, the cosmetic surgeon is REALLY EXPENSIVE. Cosmetic surgery has its place, but as any plastic surgeon will tell you, it is not a replacement for working out. Let’s face it, at the gym or anywhere else in your life, THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR GOOD HARD WORK!
