Losing Weight is Worth Gold
Would you like to lose some weight but were you never able to motivate yourself enough to keep up? In Dubai they’ve found the ideal solution for this. The immensely rich emirate decided that the population is gaining too much weight and they are willing to do everything to put a stop to this. This can be taken very literally: they are actually handing out gold per lost kilo! Everyone who wants to participate could register and received tips on healthy weight loss. Participants need to lose at least two kilos to qualify for the gold. One lost kilo equals one gram of gold.
If you really want to go for it there is also a very nice bonus. The three people who’ve lost the most weight will have a chance to win a golden coin worth over 4000 euro!
The competition was pretty necessary: more than two thirds of all men and almost three quarters of all women in Dubai are overweight. Let’s just hope everyone will try and win the gold in a healthy way, and the number of anorexic/bulimic patients won’t increase enormously in Dubai…
On the 16th of August we’ll find out who’ve lost a few kilo’s and gained a few grams! Would you be willing to earn a couple grams of gold in this way?
