WEIGHT LOSS ACCOUNTABILITY CONTRACT.
ORIGINS
Reseach shows that 95% of people (19 out of 20) that lose at least 10% of their body weight regain all of their weight and more after 5 years.
Our Accountability and Support Program intends to invert that statistic. We aim to have 95% of our members undergo a PERMANENT life change, maintain their ideal body weight, and not regain any of it for the rest of their lives.
TRUST
We operate on the principles of absolute integrity and transparency.
“Our tier 1, and Tier 10 Membership Fees are recieved separately from the Accountability Fund. We use 3rd party Escrow and Investment partners to manage Accountabilty Funds. This ensures that Weightlac has zero not have access to Accountability Funds, with no conflict of interest.
HOW OUR PROGRAM WORKS
Members join one of Two tiers. Through our program, our Tier 1 Members accrue $6,480, and our Tier 10 members accrue $68,040 over their 5-year contract term. This money can be invested via our investment partners, or saved in Escrow. If each member meets their Accountability Goals, this money is returned to them along with the funds of people not meeting their goals. Thus every penny of the Accountability Fund will be paid out only to members who meet thier goals. Weighlac’s membership fees are charged separately, and at no time does Weighlac recieve Accountability Fund dollars.
In this way, WeightLAC does not and cannot profit from your failure. Our success is tied only to your success.
After joining, a WeightLAC coach contacts you and together you generate a weight-loss graph. This graph will generally require your to reach your ideal weight in 12 months, and maintain your ideal weight for the remaining 4 years.
A typical graph of someone starting at 155 lbs and transitioning to 120 pounds looks like this:
This graph contains a 12 month plan showing the contractual obligation for weight-loss each month. The graph contains the In-Zone and the Out-Zone.
You must remain in the In-Zone for the duration of the 5-year term.
Weigh-ins happen once per month. If you are under the graph line, you are in the In-Zone. If you are above the graph line, you are in the Out-Zone.
WeightLAC does not determine how you should lose your weight. We ascribe to the idea (backed by science) that weight-loss and fat-loss specifically, is a function of diet much more than it is a function of exercise. Some say it’s a 70% to 30% ratio where 70% of your weight-loss is diet and only 30% exercise. At WeightLAC, we think it’s more like 80% to 20% diet to exercise.
There are many effective methods that can take shorter or longer time to change a person’s body composition. Among them are (in order of effectiveness): multi-day water fasting, intermittent fasting, ketosis, high-protein diet, elimination of processed foods, and elimination and reduction of sugar and sugary drinks.
Our coaches and our group meetings will help you determine which method, program, or combination of methods and programs would be best for you as an individual. Our primary focus is accountability, mindset, and understanding the true costs of being overweight and unfit. Our secondary focus is the ways in which people can control their weight.
It is possible to change the composition of your body with little to no additional exercise, only focusing on changing your diet. Over time, a change in diet with result in a change of gut bacteria, which has been shown to directly affect mood, appetite, and hormones.
The 5-year term seems long and daunting, but is absolutely necessary to allow you enough time to understand your body, the science of diet and biology, and to accrue enough money to be put on the line to generate accountability.
The 5-year accrual period for Tier 1 results in $1,296 after 1 year, $3,888 after 3 years, and $6,480 after 5 years. These are the amounts that are returned to you. Program fees for these same durations are $144 after 1 year, $432 after 3 years, and $720 after 5 years. Any amounts accruing to you from people that don’t meet their obligations would be in addition to your own funds.
The 5-year accrual method is how we generate an increasing amount of accountability when most people (95% or 19 out of 20 people) fall off the band wagon and regain all their weight AND MORE in that same time.
WHY
The cost of obesity is massive. 73% of Americans are overweight. The costs show up financially in terms of health expenditures, medications, doctor visits, heart and brain surgeries that result from cardiovascular disease. The total cost of a Tier 1 membership in our program is a fraction of what you would pay if you had to be in the hospital for an obesity-related disease.
The reduction and risk of heart disease and medical costs for someone that is at their ideal body weight, having completed their 5-year WeightLAC program, is significant. The program will pay for itself many times over in increased quality of relationships, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-image, health, vitality, cognitive ability, gut brain axis, sexual function, elimination of medical costs, quality of intergenerational family relationships (not passing obesity on to your children), and etc.
The most common way people buy cars is with a 60-month (5-year) term and pay more than WeightLAC’s Tier 2 monthly fee for a car, after which the car is significantly depreciated and they have no cash and no weight-loss to show for it. With our Tier 2 membership, all that cash ($33,480) that is returned is enough to buy a new car AND you are at your ideal body weight armed with the knowledge and experience necessary to stay at your ideal weight for the rest of your life.
