Cash can bribe dieters to lose weight, study finds
Willpower apparently can be bought. The chance to win or lose $20 a month enticed dieters in a yearlong study to drop an average of 9 pounds — four times more weight than others who were not offered dough to pass up the doughnuts.

And the law says insurance companies must give a discount for those who complete this course.
