The cost of weight loss programs in NYC aren’t as high as you might think.  Obviously, there are numerous programs on the market to choose from and the fees associated with them will vary.  Traditionally, there are two major fees associated with most weight loss programs.  The cost of the product, and the coaching fees.  With such a wide range of options it can be difficult to determine what will be the best and most cost effective program for you.  So, how do you choose?  The best way to choose a weight loss program is to evaluate what you need from the weight loss program and then compare that to the overall costs.

The option of a do it yourself program is always available, however, research indicates that it is harder to lose weight with a do it yourself approach.  Additionally, studies have indicated that people who use a do it yourself plan tend to lose less weight overall than people who have used a structured weight loss plan.

Consider whether you need a program that offers prepackaged meals.  For most weight loss programs, purchasing the meals that accompany their plan is an added expense.  If you don’t need meals already prepared for you then you can eliminate this additional cost.

Think about how much support and motivation you need to achieve your weight loss goals.  If you have been unsuccessful with programs you have attempted in the past, you may want to invest in a program that offers more support.  Also, research if this support and motivation is included.  Some plans have mandatory weekly meetings that come at an added cost.  Other plans offer free unlimited sessions per week.

Regardless of the plan, make sure that you are still receiving balanced nutrition while on the program.  Nutrition is an essential piece of weight loss.  The reason so many fad diets fail is because they don’t provide the proper nutrition to be successful.  Not to mention, that it is difficult to maintain weight loss if it is achieved in an unhealthy way.

When you have finished evaluating and comparing, you will find that overall costs of weight loss programs are comparable and relatively inexpensive.  Find a program that you feel comfortable with.  Many programs will offer a free consultation so that you can evaluate what they offer first hand.
