Monetize Your Weight Loss With A Tax Break - LearnVest

I’m going to be doing some writing for this Web site, and I found this on their blog today. If you’ve been prescribed a weight-loss program by a doctor, you may be able to deduct related expenses on your taxes.

All programs must be recommended by your doctor, who must confirm that your current weight is a threat to your health. Approved expenses include behavioral counseling, appointments with physicians, dietitians and nutritionists, commercial programs for weight-loss and maintenance, gastric banding or bypass surgery, and FDA-approved weight-loss drugs.

About Me

Foodbuzz

After seven years (and probably seven million calories) of living in D.C., I moved to NYC in August 2008. After a few months of eating my way through the city, I realized this had to stop and nipped my temptations in the bud. Here's the story of how a girl lost 50 pounds in the most tempting city known to woman. My next big challenge? The Chicago Marathon. 10.10.10.
