Here's some good news for men starting their weight loss journey. A simple intervention technique that involves receiving text messages with cash incentives could improve their chances of losing weight by around four times, a recent study revealed.
The Game of Stones study led by the research team from the University of Stirling, Scotland, U.K., that followed up 585 men with obesity for a year found that cash incentives could drive men to lose weight. Those who received up to £400 ($507) along with text messages lost the most weight, according to the results presented at the European Congress of Obesity.
