Do Structured Meal Plans Really Work to Lose Weight?

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how meal plans can help you lose weight. A funny thing happened when the Jenny Craig people funded a study to see if people who used a structured meal plan (like the one they sell) really helped people lose weight. It does. So now Jenny Craig wants insurance to cover plans like the ones they offer. Imagine getting free food – covered by insurance. The pros of structured meal plan are that you know exactly how many calories you are eating – so if you only eat those foods you will lose weight. The problem with these plans are that people like to go to restaurants and eat a variety of things and eventually people get bored eating these microwavable meals for every meal every single day.

Understanding Healthcare Terms

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain some common healthcare terms. Health care plans are complicated by design. So we though we’d explain some of the basic terms. Deductible is what you have to pay before the insurance kicks in. Co-pay is the fixed amount you pay to see your doctor or get any medication. Co-insurance is the percentage of the cost of care that you are responsible for. Usually the higher your co-pay and deductible that you are willing to pay will lower your monthly insurance cost. But who knows what will happen when Obamacare kicks in. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
