How Much Fiber?
How much fiber should I eat? It’s not easy to find an answer to that question.
FDA says 28 grams, minimum (14 grams per 1,000 calories).
Numerous google hits tell me that “high fat, low fiber” causes constipation. Of course, none of them say anything about the total carb consumption on the low fat diet they recommend. [...]
Low Carb Fiber
One of the main concerns for people starting a low carb diet is the apparent lack of fiber in the diet. I say “apparent” because it’s really a misconception. One of those accepted “truths” that keeps on being repeated over and over again.

This dieting pattern is [...]

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. The phrase has also appeared as a generally more emphatic variant of the taunt “get a job” and implies [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Maintaining Weight Loss
Any VLDC (Very Low Calorie Diet) such as Kimkins will cause you to lose weight. How could it not? Eating 500, or even 800, calories per day has to result in weight loss. Your body is burning calories whether they come from food or your stored fat/muscle.
If you start at a high weight, the first [...]
