    So it's their fault you have a sloppy financial system?
    Lock on the info up with encryption is it's such a bother for you.

    When it happened to me, I called the bank, 5 minutes latter my money had been returned, the was no longer attached to my account directly.
    After that, when I got an email from varies companies that my CC was no longer valid, I just changed it. Never had any interruption in any service.

    On a weird note, after that call, 2 weeks later a reoccurring charged on that account went through. I contacted the bank and they told be not to worry about it and to please change my number on that service. I suspect they where keeping it active to try and get more information

    The low fat craze started when the amount of fat in the average diet started climbing.
    In that context, eat less fat is absolutely correct.
    Of course, every moron with a TV show paraded every other moron with a typewriter across the stage to promote their magic diet book. So that didn't help, at all.

    "Restricting calories leaves you hungry,"
    You're doing it wrong.

    You started paying attention to what you eat(good for you) and lost weight.
    This is why there is so much laymen confusion on the subject. (NYT reports a super tine study doesn't help either).
    People start watching what they eat with a diet. It works, and they think it's the magic of the type of diet when it is they just found away to pay attention for a bit.

    You're eating less calories from fat. When you come back, you start eating higher fats, which you body needs to adjust for.

    It did. You made no compensation for that.
    But as you said, it was only a month..
    If you eat less then about 1800 calories a month, you will loose weight.
    That's an average based on average sized male. YMMV

    You could do that with just weighing 1800 calories of Twinkies, or big macs.
    OF could if you want to loose weight and be healthy, I would advice twinkies!
