What Makes Kimkins Dangerous
It’s not really that it’s an extreme low carb, low fat, low calorie diet.
After all, there are other low calorie diets out there. Just look at the latest issue of Women’s World or some other women’s magazine and I can guarantee that the recommended diet is low calorie. It may not be announced as such [...]
Multivitamin Pill
Is it enough? Kimmer recommends a multivitamin per day for her 500 calories starvation diet, Kimkins. Theoretically, this will provide the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for all essential vitamins and minerals. Does that mean that my body gets everything it needs to function? As the energy will be taken from stored body fat and the [...]
Counting Calories
The calorie is a unit of energy, in particular heat.
The small calorie, gram calorie, or calorie (symbol: cal) is the amount of heat (energy) required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 °C.
The large calorie, kilogram calorie, kilocalorie (symbol: kcal), or Calorie (capital C) is the amount of heat (energy) needed [...]
Fat Phobia
Are you afraid of using fats when cooking? Avoiding fat cuts of meat? Buying “no fat” or “low fat” products?
You are not alone. Most of us are brainwashed to believe that fat is bad for us and that eating fat makes us fat.
This misconception seems to be based on two factors:
Fat has 9 calories per [...]
Get A Life
Wikipedia:
“Get a life” is an originally American idiom and catch phrase usually intended as a taunt, to indicate that the person being so addressed is devoting an inordinate amount of time to trivial or hopeless matters.

Kimkins No Exercise Diet
That is how the Kimkins starvation diet is promoted. Get slim without ever having to break a sweat. Look like the pretty girl in the red dress after you have lost 200 pounds in one year and are 49 years old.
Of course, now we know that she really looks like this:
Seems that the “no-exercise” diet [...]
SingingLass wants Attention
SingingLass has been a member of LCF since 08/25/2004 and was posting, starting in June 2006, as a “regular” dieter until she joined Kimkins in June 2007.
Singing Lass has since made some posts on FWK, in support of Kimkins. But on March 16, Singing Lass chose to create a sockpuppet on LCF, LittleSina, drawing attention [...]
Singing Lass in the Spotlight
As an aspiring opera singer, Kimkins Admin Singing Lass, aka Delaney Deaver, most likely loves being in the spotlight. However, being in the spotlight of the Kimkins scandal is not going to be an accomplishment she would want to add to her resume.
Delaney has refused to leave Kimkins despite being encouraged to do so repeatedly [...]
Martina’s Martini
Martina’s Martini that first appeared as a troll on LCF has since been identified as John Essex, an ex-husband to one of the principals on the Kimkins Class Action Lawsuit.
In a post by Prudentia, it was suggested that John was “a person who was simply trying to lend aid to the cause of taking down [...]
Kimmer Lies to the AG Again
Today, I received a letter from the Attorney General of California with a response to my complaint about Kimkins. It was practically identical to the one Magicsmom received in January.
The “private reason” given on Kimkins’ admin board, as sent to the AG, was a copy of a post on ALC that was made more than [...]
