VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diets)
While all Kimkins Diet Plans are Very Low Calorie, the Shake Plan is the only one that has a given calorie limit. (The other Plans have suggested serving sizes, which automatically makes them low calorie, as shown here: Kimkins Diet Plans.) It is based on 0 – 4 shakes, max 200 cals/4 carbs each. EAS [...]
The Gravy Diet
Kimkins has a new competitor on the internet: The Gravy Diet! How the Gravy Diet works: While mainstream medical science kept telling people to lose weight by changing their diets and exercising more often, Dr. Morgan kept working towards his dream of providing people with a quickfix diet that would allow people to lose massive [...]
Kimkins Diet Blogs
Many wonder why we bloggers keep on writing about Kimkins, and some call us “haters” and claim that we “don’t have a life”. For me, the answer is easy. Read Kimkins Survivors As long as kimkins.com is still up and running, I will keep on blogging about it. I have hope that it will not [...]
Kimkins still a VLCD Diet
Despite recent efforts to try to “clean up” Kimkins.com, Kimmer is still pushing very low calories. For the pinky swear challenge that started yesterday, February 1, Kimmer had promised to share some weight loss “secrets”. She announced the first “secret” yesterday; eat like a post-op WLS patient!

Diet Research
Heidi Diaz’ sock puppets say that Kimkins‘ dieters are to blame for any ill effects from the diet as they “should have done their research”.

What the Mike&Juliet Show didn’t tell you about Kimkins
You might have seen the re-run of the Mike&Juliet show yesterday, featuring the Kimkins diet scam (links at the end of this post). They showed that the diet is nutritionally deficient and that the founder, Kimmer aka Heidi Diaz, lied about her alleged weight loss. Heidi Diaz claimed to have lost 198 pounds in one [...]

Magic Diet
I earlier made a post about the Magic Chicken Diet using the Day 1 menu. I thought I would revisit the subject, now choosing a day from the 2nd week’s “modified” sample menu. While I don’t understand why anyone would use canned chicken for anything, this is what was recommended in the menu. That day, [...]
