I heard losing weight is a financially smart idea, can you explain that to me?Overweight individuals consume approximately $1500 a year more in food than healthy weight individuals. This means that if you are overweight for 10 years, you will have spent $15,000 on food that you wouldn't have needed if you were at a healthy weight. Furthermore, overweight individuals pay approximately $700 a year more for medication due to weight related diseases. Over a 5 year period, if you choose to lose weight now you will save $11,000.
