Health and wellness gadgets for the wealthy

The typical dieter might focus his or her budget on things such as healthful foods, supplements, fitness products and perhaps a gym membership. With careful budgeting, we don't have to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars all the time to meet our weight loss goals, despite what companies will try to have us purchase. Consider that there are many products that are vastly over-priced.

BodyGem seems to be a nifty device for measuring resting metabolic rate. The product enables us to measure changes in metabolism, which could come in handy for our weight loss goals. However, while other comparable devices are known to cost less than $100, this company charges a whopping $800 for the gadget -- and this is without any of the addable options.
