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 [...]
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.

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 [...]
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 exercise [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
