Breakdown of a Diet Scam

I first took note of the whole deal a few years ago when I came across a website called Low-carb friends. I like to diet. Well, actually I like the idea of dieting. I think it's what I should be doing to make other people happy - so I read lowcarb websites and just try to cut the carbs out enough to be healthy and exercise and not worry about the scale. I am like a diet groupie. I love dieting - I could read about others doing it all day long. So there I am reading about some diet thing called Kimkins. Okay, was my first thought, what kind of asshole would be obnoxious enough to take the name of the best diet plan on the planet and stick their name in it? Then after reading more I am astounded. These people were trying to do Atkins as low-fat! As I am a diet fanatic I know that removing the majority of carbs and the majority of fats from your diet leads to eating mainly protein. If all you are eating is meat and eggs and a very miniscule amount of vegetables, you caloric intake is going to drop below starvation levels. So - bottom line, you have a starvation diet. Big deal - you starve, you lose weight. I think my kid could figure that out and she thinks candy corn is a veggie.

This Kimkins was the brainchild of one Heidi "Kimmer" Diaz. And I watched in amazement as everyone on the forums kissed her ass. This woman supposedly lost some obscene amount of weight in a very short amount of time - how much in what time frame seems to differ by the day. She did this by making up her own plan (Stillman's) and naming it Kimkins. It appears that shortly before I joined the forum, she had a hissy fit and took her ball and went home. She was apparently pizzled off that the moderators in all their evilness decided to give her her own forum. Those bastards!! It turns out that she wasn't happy that she was unable to continue turning the main lobby into her own personal catbox and crapping all over every single thread with rude condescending well, crap. With the help of an interested investor, our Heidi took the opportunity to start her own website and charged $15 for "lifetime" membership. The definition of lifetime to be determined at her whim. The website was replete with success stories and before 'n' after pictures the likes of which I had never seen. I mean seriously. Some people not only lost weight, they changed their race as well. Before long, this foolishness was brought to national attention by our friends at Womans World - the same people who brought you the ice cream diet and the lose eighty-nine pounds in three weeks eating mallomars diet. The accompanying article had a picture of Heidi leaning sideways with a shit-eating smirk on her face wearing a red dress. Remember the red dress. It is important later. After the article hit the newsstands the price of "lifetime" membership hit $60.

Well, it seems that certain sharp-eyed individuals noticed that her after picture didn't look a whole lot like her before picture or any of her other after pictures, for that matter. Her disgruntled ex-partner hired a private investigator and found that this is what Kimmer resembles today Slamboard photos My daughter says that this is what I look like except my butts not that big. And she also adds that I wouldn't wear pants like that either. Heyo no! It has been discovered that many of the before and after pics on her website were lifted from russian mail-order bride sites, including the infamous red-dress picture. All this time, people just keep signing up at $60 a pop so they can be told how to eat less than 600 calories a day and abuse laxitives. Oh, did I forget that part? Yeah! One of the side effects of her little eating plan is that it makes you feel sick. One of her cute terms is that you should feel snatt. That's how you know it's working. What is snatt? A nifty little acronym for "semi-nauseous all the time". Isn't that lovely? Everyone wants to walk around feeling like horking their guts out. She advised at least one member that I know of to try a daily laxative to keep things moving. Why anyone would care how much their poop weighs, I don't know.

There is much, much more to this thing. I could type for days - and some people have. So I will link you to some of their wisdom and save my poor carpal tunnel wrists. I know I promised evil doctors and crusading ducks - it's all there if you look. I had asked some of the folks from LCF for some resources and good links to start out. I read a few, but the best is from the first gal to answer my post. Thanks BamaGal! This has actually has all the links that you'll need, so it saves me some typing. Find it here Kimkins Scam and enjoy.

Take care and don't join any fake diets.
