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!
