The Making of a Diet Guru
I was googling something today and came across an interesting review of an “anti-diet” book. I will copy one section from the book and while it is copyrighted, I think I may be excused by providing the link to purchase the book: Breaking Out of Food Jail: How to Free Yourself from Diets and Problem [...]
Kimkins Causing Eating Disorders
Kimmer is always saying that ALL overweight people already have an eating disorder - being fat is proof of disordered eating. I don’t agree.
I know many overweight people that do not have what I would call an unhealthy relationship with food. They eat what they want and just don’t care about being heavier than what [...]
The Airline Diet
The airlines have opened up their own diet program. It can easily compare to a starvation diet like Kimkins. The airline can guarantee that you will not eat for 6 - 7 hours. No willpower required. Not even Kimkins can do that.
I recently returned home from a long flight with US Air. Not that the [...]
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 [...]
Kimkins when Traveling
Is it even possible? For me, it wouldn’t be. Look at a typical Kimkins approved meal as illustrated in my post here: Kimkins Food
How could I possibly eat like that when traveling? 4 oz chicken and a “finger grab” salad for dinner? Egg white omelet instead of the breakfast buffet? Not a chance. I don’t [...]
A Gem from Article-Gems
UPDATE:
Article Gems decided to listen to us and has removed the articles!
We have been all over the internet to pull kimkins weeds. One place kimkins articles were found was Article-Gems. They did not respond too well to emails sent by “angry weigh loss people”:
Running an article directory - like article-gems is not always easy. Apart [...]
Kimkins Blog
Kimmer’s blog posts have been very poor lately. Going from counting calories in lettuce to pointing out that nutrition labels on Ritz crackers are wrong. The latest post is announcing:
“A few days ago Good Morning America did a segment on whether food nutrition labels are accurate. Guess what! They aren’t and the US government only [...]
Twisting the Truth
Kimmer copies information from various sites to her blog, typically without reference to the source. She also has no problem editing the text to suit her purposes.
In a post today, titled “High Fat Diets and High Blood Pressure”, Kimmer says:“In a study of healthy young women, one group ate a high fat fast food breakfast [...]
