Looking at obesity through an economic lens can be a powerful new way to change thinking and finally get the body you want.
"You can never be too rich or too thin" is an old saying,
often attributed to the Duchess of Windsor. Of course, it comes off as snooty — if she had coined it today, imagine her Twitter ratios. Here's the thing, though: Body weight and net worth truly are intertwined, and research shows that the more pounds people carry, the less money they tend to have.
This works on different levels. Say you're an obese 20-year-old who drops to a healthy weight.
According to a 2017 study from Johns Hopkins University, your estimated lifetime savings in health care and productivity would be $28,020. For a 50-year-old, it'd be $36,278.
Jay Zagorsky, Ph.D., an economist and researcher at Ohio State University.
has been examining the weight-wealth connection for more than a decade. His 2015 study, published in the Oxford Handbook of Economics and Human Biology, revealed this price tag:
For every pound of extra weight gained, $226 of wealth is lost.
For every point of body mass index gained, $1,900 of wealth is lost.
So by Zagorsky's calculation, if you're 50 pounds overweight, you're cheating yourself out of more than $11,000.
