Hotel Charges by the Pound.

Jürgen Heckrodt, the owner of a three-star hotel Ostfriesland in Norden, Germany started to charge his guests by the pound.

"I had many guests who were really huge and I told them to slim down," said Juergen Heckrodt, owner of the three-star hotel.

"When they came back a year later, and had lost a lot of weight, they asked me 'what are you gonna do for me now?'"

Heckrodt said he hoped his initiative would inspire Germans to become leaner and healthier.

"Healthy guests live longer and can come back more often."
