MyBodyTutor: $500/month to be watched eating, and it worked

Sam paid $500/month to MyBodyTutor, photographing every meal for a coach to comment on plus a weekly call. The mechanism wasn't expertise but the stress of being watched, which he compares to seeing another cursor move in a Google Doc.

“I was paying $500 a month, and all I would do, it was very simple. I would, every time I ate a meal, I would take a picture and he would comment on it. Once a week, I would do a 20 or 10-minute phone call and they would say, "How's it going?" And the stress that knowing I was being watched made me change my habits and I got— and I lost weight.”
