Game of Chicken
The phrase game of Chicken is used as a metaphor for a situation where two parties engage in a showdown where they have nothing to gain, and only pride stops them from backing down.
This seems to be an accurate description of what’s going on with the Magic Chicken Diet lately.
The Magic Chicken Diet popped up [...]
Sockpuppets
Wikipedia:
A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception within an Internet community. In its earliest usage, a sockpuppet was a false identity through which a member of an Internet community speaks while pretending not to, like a puppeteer manipulating a hand puppet.
In current usage, the perception of the term has been extended [...]
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 first [...]
Flippy Tippy Changes Diets - Again
While still giving credit to Kimkins for her weight loss, Tippy is presently following Eat Fat Get Thin (EFGT). Tippy has tried this plan before in her weight loss journey but quickly gave up on it that time. Other plans Tippy has tried include Atkins, fat fast, a rotation diet, South Beach, CTF (cut the [...]
Why pay when there are FREE diet support sites
I have been thinking about how a site that requires a “registration fee” or a “lifetime membership fee” would get people signing up for their “service.” Obviously they need to offer something that the FREE sites do not have. As they don’t, I have to assume that the only customers they get are people that [...]
Tippy denies supporting Kimmer, but still thinks Kimkins is great
In a post on her Camp Site today (copied to LCF) Pocahontas aka Tippy Toes aka Jeannie Baitinger denied that she was still supporting Kimmer, stating that she left Kimkins to avoid being dragged into a law suit. Obviously, Kimmer’s fraudulent marketing and unethical business methods with bannings were of no concern to Tippy.
She [...]
Tippy still supporting Kimkins
Diets in Review said:
I wanted to share this Kimkins follow-up with what looks like Kimmer herself. Back in October, Diets In Review shared with you the disappointing news that many Kimkins customers feel that the Kimkins program is fraudulent. Their PR manager, Jeannie Baitinger, responded to Diets In Review and we shared that post with [...]
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 [...]
$19.95 Camp Fee
Camp Carbaway announced:
“Our plan is to go “Public” on Jan 1 2008. Starting on that day new members will be asked to pay a registration fee of $19.95.”
“There will not be any more approval process in the new system. Anyone can pay the $19.95 and join. This may cause issues, but we [...]
Kimorexia, Anorexia and Bulimia
One of the earliest blogs to take up the fight against Kimkins was Kimorexia but as other blogs started to appear, Kimorexia became idle. As of today, it is back in business.
WELCOME BACK!
And, staying with the subject of anorexia and bulimia, Medusa has a very important post today:
ANOREXIA NERVOSA & BULIMIA NERVOSA…AND THEIR LINK TO [...]
