Want to lose weight and not sacrifice any food in the process? Just put your marriage on the line.

According to a new survey 50% of men and 50% of women lose an average of 6 to 10 pounds when they have an affair. There are two theories. One, is that the affair makes you happier which leads to healthier eating habits. The other thought process is that affairs are stressful which leads to you producing more adrenaline and cortisol which increases your heart rate and helps you burn more calories.

What’s not included in the survey is that you could also lose your house, car, half of your 401K and the respect of your family and friends. But hey- you look great with those 10 pounds of off you.
