Here’s some weight loss motivation. A gym in Binzhou City, China, is offering a used 2020 Porsche Panamera to the first person who loses 100 pounds in three months. To enter, participants must pay about $1,400, which covers three months of intensive training, housing, and meals. The gym plans to close registration once 30 people sign up, and seven or eight have already joined, and a fitness coach said the challenge is currently ongoing.
Medical experts have criticized the promotion for being dangerous. One expert said losing almost a pound per day is way too fast and will cause muscle loss instead of fat loss, leading to hormonal problems, hair loss, and missed periods for women. A safer goal is about a pound per week. A doctor warned that losing weight this quickly can strain organs and even endanger lives, and that weight loss should be gradual so the brain, muscles, and organs can adjust to the new energy balance.
