Nutrisystem Launches Spanish Language Website

Recognizing a need to provide the Hispanic community with improved access to weight loss and nutrition resources, Nutrisystem, Inc.®, a leading provider of weight management programs and services, recently launched a Spanish language version of Nutrisystem.com. In 2009, the Center for Disease Control reported that more than 27 percent of Hispanics or Latinos in the U.S. were obese, which can often be managed, if not prevented, through healthy lifestyle changes.

“Nutrisystem understands the need for improving the availability of weight loss information to the Spanish-speaking population. Diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death among the Latino community and we know that losing weight can significantly lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes,” said Joe Redling, Chairman and CEO of Nutrisystem, Inc. “We feel it’s important to allow our customers to obtain information and transact in the language they feel most comfortable with. Now, all of the information on Nutrisystem foods and programs, including Nutrisystem D, for people with type 2 diabetes, is readily available in Spanish on Nutrisystem.com.”

Approximately 90 to 95 percent of Hispanic Americans with diabetes have type 2 diabetes, further illustrating the need for weight management tools and information such as clinically tested Nutrisystem D, which is designed to help the 24 million Americans with type 2 diabetes who want to lose weight.
