There’s a shocking truth hidden beneath the glitz and glamour associated with many of today’s most popular weight loss options:
The cost is outrageous! Most consumers are completely unaware of the costs the 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!
Even more shocking is the fact the most insurance companies don’t cover the weight loss program. 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.
Having to pay out of pocket directly impacts your household budget, so it’s extremely critical that your weight loss program is the most cost-effective program out there. Thanks to the recent FDA approval of a new class of weight loss medication, it is no easier and less expensive than most traditional options!
