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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Basal Metabolic Rate
The Harris Benedict formula is often recommended to calculate basal metabolic rate (BMR) in order to determine how many calories we should eat to lose weight. Basal metabolic rate is the energy the body burns in total inactivity and it is not recommended to go below this number. In addition, an “activity factor” is used [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Back in My Skinny Jeans
I don’t do Kimkins. I eat. Beef, pork, chicken thighs. Plenty of fats. As much veggies as I want. The only thing I limit is carbs and I’m not even strict with that. I don’t count anything. As I have found out, what I eat will not make much of a difference for me. Only [...]
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 [...]
