NutriSystem Treats Men Like Idiots

By Laura Moncur @ 5:00 am — Filed under:

I still can’t imagine the marketing, even though I’ve read a transcript:

“Since NutriSystem, my sex life is excellent.”

He lost 62 pounds and now, sex is great. Quite frankly, I’m offended.

I don’t know which offends me more, the idea that fat people can’t have fulfilling and enjoyable sex lives or that women are so fickle that they would only have sex with men who are buff.

Quite honestly, I’m not their target market. After years of eating frozen dinners microwaved to soggy perfection, I reached a point where I couldn’t eat them anymore. I’ll never forget that lunch. I had microwaved my Lean Cuisine. It was lunchtime and I was starving, but I did not want to eat that microwaved lunch. I took a bite and the feeling strengthened. My stomach growled, but the smell of the processed food made me throw it away. I don’t think I’ve eaten a frozen dinner since.

A program like Nutrisystem would just cost me a lot of money and I would just throw their food away. I ate low calorie microwaved food for so long that I just can’t stomach it anymore, even if it’ll make my sex life better.

    Maybe he means that HE wasn’t interested in sex when he was fat. Or are you saying that all men are pigs and they can get turned on no matter how they feel about their own bodies? 😉

    But I know what you mean about frozen dinners. I loved them at first, but they soon all started tasting like plastic.

    I concur – maybe with the weight loss, his body image improved, giving him a new-found enthusiasm and interest in sex. I find that true in my experience.

    If that’s the case, it’s very poorly communicated in the advertisement. It’s a like a beer commercial for weight loss.

    Has anyone out there become ill (mainly with stomach pains, nauseau, diahhrea, vomiting after using the Nutrisystem diet for approximately 2 to 3 weeks?
