The Kimkins diet is rated the #3 worst diet of 2008! I’d argue it should be at least tied with #2, the ultra low calorie Original Hollywood Celebrity Diet. I thought it was interesting that most of the diets in the list are diet supplements and not actual diets. Looking at diet alone, Kimkins…

You’ve won the SLIM CHANCE AWARDS!
To call 2008 a typical year in the weight loss field would be too easy. This year’s awards go to an infamous huckster of diet infomercials, known for his outrageous disregard of injunctions against him; $139 body-shaping jeans impregnated with substances that…

I did a little study. I went to a smoky bar. It was rough, but in the name of science I tipped a couple rum & Diet Cokes. I rounded up a room full of smokers. I asked half of them to give up smoking for a week. I’d offered to cook up a mountain of chicken wings for their next kegger, so they…

The FDA has set standards for acceptable levels of melamine in baby formula. And guess what? It isn’t zero. When it was being found in foreign-made formula, the FDA said there is no safe level. Now that it’s been found in 90% of US formula, they have seemingly arbitrarily decided that a little…

Derek, you said you only posted your success story because you’re proud of your weight loss, which you achieved by eating basic low carb, ignoring the Kimkins plan details, and not participating at the website. You said you don’t endorse or promote Kimkins.
