Kimkins Facing Criminal Charges Next?
The Sam Redman character recently visited LCF to lecture us on why the Class Action Lawsuit against Kimmer is without merit. Among a lot of other verbiage, he said in a post:
“There must have been an intent to deceive. But, it could be well argued that she used the creative photos and testimonials… not [...]
Fascination with Kimkins
The Fascination with Kimmer thread on LCF started on 06/27/2007, almost 10 months ago. I thought it would be interesting to see some statistics:
We are presently on thread #16
There is a total of 57,076 posts
2,467,725 views; that is 2.5 million views
Is the interest waning? I don’t think so. Not looking at thread #1 that was [...]
Kimkins Hacked!
The mysterious Sam Redman that recently appeared on the LCF scene has hacked into kimkins.con and hosts a fully live kimkins front page on his server.
He didn’t just make a screen shot like I have here. He copied the entire page, with all design templates, images, page elements, style sheets and modules. It’s a clone [...]
Faux Dieting
After having lectured us how to count calories from lettuce, Kimmer is now telling us how we fool ourselves when trying to lose weight. I’m sure she knows a lot about it. It is also obvious that she doesn’t follow her own advice.
Every single point she brings up targets the guilt of overweight persons, hoping [...]
What do Kimmer and Sam Redman Have in Common?
Kimmer has bragged about writing articles for many years under different pen names, some of them male. Could one of them be Sam Redman? The new poster at LCF that came in as her supporter the other day? The same Samuel that defended Kimmer on ALC when the controversy started?
I don’t know the answers to [...]
Guilty of Being Overweight
Do you feel guilty for being overweight? Then STOP! Feeling guilty is what causes people to look for quick fixes and starvation diets like Kimkins. Kimmer exploits this guilt by promising fast results and claiming that being “morbidly obese” is worse than anything you might do to your body to get rid of the excess [...]
Jimmy Moore’s Forum Hacked - Again
The Kimkins Saga continues to generate weirdness. Jimmy Moore’s forum, lowcarbdiscussion, is populated by a large number of dieters that left Kimkins including most of the former Admins.
A few months ago, Jimmy’s forum was down for a short period of time. Reportedly it was hacked.
Today (or yesterday?) it happened again and to a much more [...]
Counting Calories on Kimkins
Kimmer shares her diet wisdom in a recent blog post about how to properly measure food.
She cautions:“Veggies should be loosely placed in the measuring cup, not packed. If we try hard enough, we could squish a whole package of frozen spinach into 1 cup. But then I’m only lying to ourselves. And the scale will [...]
Kimkins Yo-Yo Diet
Yo-Yo Diet (Wikipedia):The reasons for yo-yo dieting are varied but often include embarking upon a diet that was initially too extreme. At first the dieter may experience elation at the thought of loss and pride of their rejection of food. Over time, however, the limits imposed by such extreme diets cause effects such as depression [...]

Avenue Girl explains why this is important on her post More Spring Cleaning.
