The 6 Week Cure
I pre-ordered the new Protein Power book, The 6 Week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle. Now, I didn’t have much use for a 6 week cure myself as I have been successful in keeping my middle relatively slim. However, I was interested to see what they had to say about the cause of it.
I did [...]
Healthy Diet
What is a healthy diet? The answer will vary depending on who you ask. Everything from the food pyramid with a “balanced” diet from all food groups, to the calorie counting Weight Watchers to the carb limited Low Carb diet. All of these groups have their own definition of what “healthy” is.
I think it’s easier [...]
Losing Weight or Keeping It Off
What is most important? Losing weight or keeping it off? The answer seems to be losing. Fast.
Every dieter is looking for the formula that will provide the quickest weight loss possible. Of course, time is critical as we know by experience that we will not be able to stick to the diet for any longer [...]
HCG Diet
HCG stands for Human Choriogonadotropin, the hormone produced by pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy. Research suggests a small, daily hcg injection (approx. 125 IU to 200 IU) results in a weight loss of 1 to 2 lbs per day, and often more, when accompanied by a VLCD (very low calorie diet) of [...]

Exercise or Diet?
Kimmer, the creator of the starvation diet Kimkins, insists that exercise is not helpful for weight loss. “No Exercise” seems to be a good selling point, or at least she thinks so. It is boldly stated in all the newsletters she sends out and frequently repeated on her blog. That Kimmer so strongly opposes exercise [...]
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 stew, egg [...]
Kimkins Maintenance Plan Published
My previous post was about Kimmer’s musings how to create a maintenance plan. So what did she come up with?
MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Maintenance is an art requiring experimentation and practice
Begin with a 1200 calorie minimum. Add additional calories depending on your CCE (Carb & Calorie Equilibrium). Older or sedentary people may need to stay around 1200 indefinitely.
Your [...]
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 such [...]
