The Diet Logs

Dr. Joseph Chemplavil of Hampton, Va., was frustrated that his patients continued to gain weight even as he advised them of all the health problems associated with being overweight. So he devised a program where patients would enroll in a special weight loss program. If they lost weight, he would pay them; if they gained, it would cost them.

The patients pay $10 to start; most have lost 10 pounds by the end of one year. He’s been doing it for three years, and many patients reenroll after their first experience. He currently has 270 patients in the program and one has lost 29 pounds in seven months.
