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 [...]
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 [...]
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 Yo-Yo Diet
Yo-Yo Diet (Wikipedia):The reasons for yo-yo dieting are varied but often include embarking upon a diet that was initially too extreme. At first the dieter may experience elation at the thought of loss and pride of their rejection of food. Over time, however, the limits imposed by such extreme diets cause effects such as depression [...]
Tippy Toes Admits Acting as a Kimmer Sockpuppet
Tippy has still not publicly denounced the Kimkins Diet, and has not apologized for her role as a PR person and admin at Kimkins. Perhaps she is still of the same opinion she voiced when she tried to sign up at Amy’s Eating Low forum that Medusa reported on:“I suppose I am expected to make [...]
Magically Crazy Chicken
The Magic Chicken Diet site that was made into a Kimkins clone has been a source of mystery since it was found a couple of months back. A few days ago, someone that is intimately familiar with the Chicken Lady, Bonnie Luper, made a number of disturbing posts on the “sister site”, magicchicken.net. What the [...]
Maintaining Weight Loss
Any VLDC (Very Low Calorie Diet) such as Kimkins will cause you to lose weight. How could it not? Eating 500, or even 800, calories per day has to result in weight loss. Your body is burning calories whether they come from food or your stored fat/muscle. If you start at a high weight, the [...]
