Wu Yi Tea or Acai Berry
Seems that these people don’t know what they used for their weight loss. Here they credit Acai Berry: And here they credit Wu Yi tea: In my previous post, I wrote about how I had been unable to find any studies that supported the claims for Acai Berry having anything to do with weight loss, [...]
Acai Berry and Kimkins
What do they have in common? Nothing as far as I know. But how come all these Akai Berry blogs and sites use Kimkins as a tag? Is this Heidi Diaz’ new venture? The next internet scam? Acai Berry is native to Brazil and is presently marketed as the new magic supplement here in the [...]
Zero Carb when Pregnant
Kimkins’ K/E (Kimmer’s Experiment) is technically a zero carb diet. Just meat, eggs, fish and no vegetables. But K/E is lean meat only, and I hope nobody is desperate enough to even attempt such a restrictive diet when pregnant. Not even Kimmer herself recommends it. But what about the “Zero Carb Path” diet? Also no [...]
Faster than Kimkins
I have lost 5 pounds the last week. From 128.8 lbs to 123.8 lbs. My calories were 1600 – 1800 per day. And no, I didn’t exercise a lot. I did go to the gym 4 times but burned no more than perhaps 200 calories per time. So what did I eat? Pork spareribs, beef [...]
Kimkins Maintenance Plan
Is there such a thing? Not to my knowledge. The very few people that have followed Kimkins to goal seem to maintain the weight by still doing Kimkins. Experimenting with adding a few carbs, then cutting back again to take off any weight regain. A typical yo-yo approach that will work as long as you [...]
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 [...]
Dieting Makes You Fat
At least the Kimkins diet seems to. Just look at what it did to Kimmer a.k.a. Heidi Diaz. She went from this to this And that was when she according to herself was an “expert” dieter: I’ve studied weight loss plans for a lifetime, noting what worked. What didn’t. And, most importantly, why. Not only [...]
Quick Weight Loss
Isn’t that what we all want? The fad diet industry is banking on it. Lose 10 pounds in a week! Lose 100 pounds in 5 months! No faster diet, none! Better than gastric bypass! Sounds good? Apparently, as we keep on paying for new diet fads all the time. Looking for the magic diet/pill/supplement that [...]
Yet Another “Better than Gastric Bypass” Diet
The Kimkins Diet gained its fame, and a large number of paying members, from having the diet advertised on the front cover of Woman’s World magazine in June 2007. The front page focused on “Better than Gastric Bypass” and “No exercise required” and what better way is there to sell a diet? Oh, yes, the [...]
Returning to Kimkins
The Kimkins Diet website was launched in June 2006 but had a rather obscure existence until an article in Women’s World magazine caused a large influx of customers one year later. Many people tried the diet but rightly decided that the diet was not sustainable and disappeared. The $59.95 membership fee was written off as [...]
