Affordable Weight Loss FAQs — Scottsdale
The True Cost
What Popular Programs Really Cost
Most consumers are completely unaware of the costs that come with popular programs like Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig and Medifast. That's because most of these popular programs don't want you to know the true costs until you've already committed! The true cost is outrageous! Today's most popular weight loss plans can easily top $1,000 per month. 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 $123per pound — that's nearly $4,000 just for a chance at losing 30 pounds!
Did You Know?
Did You Know that 70% of Americans are Overweight?
And that one in three are considered obese? In fact, 42% of adults in the U.S. gained an average of 29 pounds during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Obesity increases the risk for:
- All-causes of death (mortality)
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- High LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol or high triglycerides
- Type 2 diabetes
- Coronary heart disease
- Stroke
- Gallbladder disease
- Osteoarthritis & Bursitis
- Sleep apnea and breathing problems
- Many types of cancer
- Low quality of life and self-esteem
- Mental illness such as depression and anxiety
- Body pain and difficulty with physical functioning
The Costs Add Up
What About Meeting with a Nutritionist?
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!
The Costs Add Up
What About Surgery?
Other methods — including liposuction, tummy tucks and surgical "mommy makeovers" — can run many thousands of dollars with very mixed results at best. For those looking to lose roughly 100 pounds, surgical options including gastric bypass, gastric banding or stomach stapling can cost $25,000 or much more depending on the procedure.
