New poll find

Nutrisystem asked 1,001 people – both men and women – what they would do to keep off ten pounds. The results were definitely interesting.

About half of women say they would rather go without sex for the summer than gain 10 pounds. A fourth of men feel the same way.

More people say they would rather shed 10 to 20 pounds during the summer than get promoted at work.

This poll isn’t the first to find these kind of results.

Another poll conducted a few years ago for Fitness magazine found more than half of Americans say they’d rather lose their jobs than get fat.

“What this shows is that people are highly motivated to not gain weight,” says Bruce Daggy, vice president of research and development for Nutrisystem. “They recognize what it will do to their feeling of well-being and fitness.”

What’s funny though, is that a good portion of this same group of people really isn’t motivated to do much to actually LOSE weight.

•Almost half say they don’t diet because they don’t want to give up their favorite foods.

•About a third don’t want the inconvenience of dieting, and a quarter don’t want to deal with the stress.

SMH, laziness is a disease America.
