I, like many of you, have done every stupid diet out there, only to see my small successes erased by the Law of Dieting Karma  (LDK for short, or as I refer to it: eL DonKey). The LDK states that   every pound lost by restricting calories, fat, sugar, carbs, entire food groups, or air will be returned to you with interest compounded daily .  The current interest rate is based on the NASFAT stock index and  Weight Futures trading.  Sorry - my husband (yes, our marriage did survive and we are good!) - he has been dabbl...
