Experts know the value of keeping a food diary when it comes
to weight loss. Studies (like one
conducted by American Journal of
Preventive Medicine) show that
people who record their food intake 6 days/week or more lose twice as much weight as those who did not. But,
did you know you can get paid to track your nutrition? From your smart phone, you can access PACT an
app that links to My Fitness Pal.
PACT allows you to make a
commitment like tracking your food every day; and if you keep your PACT, you
get paid $1/day (not to mention the health benefits that should inspire such
goals)
How does it work? You set up a penalty for not meeting the
commitment which is linked to your credit/debit or Paypal account. If the $1/day isn’t enough to motivate you;
PACT has shown that paying the price (again the health/wellness costs should be
enough, right?) for missing the mark keeps users highly motivated. But, not everyone-- of course, that’s where
the reward money comes from. So, commit
to positive change & get paid for it too!
