Nagging Spouse Diet Reminders

— October 26, 2008 — Lifestyle
It's hard to keep on the straight and narrow when you are trying to lose weight. The Japanese have come up with a virtual nagging wife to solve that problem. Your "wife" will send you four emails a day to remind you of your diet!

You log in on the website to set up a diet and health plan and then you can choose from one of four different "wives," which include a silly giggly maid, a stern businesswoman type, a caring nurse, or a trendy nail artist. A strange set and a weird system to stay on a diet but hey, if it works, don't knock it!
