2kidsandapup, you’ve been robbed.

2kidsandapup, you’ve been robbed. Heidi Diaz lifted one of your pictures for her blog, where she promotes the allegedly fraudulently marketed Kimkins diet. Very nice photo! Is the recipe yours, too? Looks delicious, though not something allowed on the Kimkins diet.

Here’s the source of the…

Another thought about those model pictures…

SingingLass keeps referring to what Heidi Diaz did as using ‘model photos’ to represent her diet plan, and says that everyone does it. I still think that’s completely irrelevant, but one more problem with that argument is that companies that use models to promote their products HIRE those models….

I’ll Answer the Refund Question that Heidi Diaz/Kimmer and SingingLass Are Avoiding

A Kimkins member has asked for a refund on the Kimkins message boards, after being ignored by Heidi Diaz in email requests. Note: Singinglass, an admin, claims the member never tried to contact Heidi, so either Singinglass reads Heidi’s emails (and as culpable than we thought!) or she believes a…

Kimkins Deceptive Marketing - Food Pictures

This picture is part of a banner on the Kimkins site. Wouldn’t you want to go on a diet where you could eat like this and still lose a ton of weight? (Actually you can, but not on Kimkins!) Those pictures stolen from other web sites to lure dieters into paying $80 just to find out that you don’t…

To the Kimkins member struggling with skipping heartbeats and dizzy spells

Please tell your doctor exactly what you are eating. He will not think to ask you specifically because you are above your target weight. It could be from starvation, muscle atrophy, low thyroid, or adrenal fatigue. All can be caused by the Kimkins diet. I know you don’t want to hear that it’s the…

Who did Kimmer photonap this time - part 2

Kimmer Blathers About Low Thyroid

Here’s a case where Heidi Diaz / Kimmer may know what she’s talking about. In a recent blog post, she reviewed the symptoms of low thyroid. (She lifted a thyroid image from here and her words from somewhere else but failed cite her sources. Figures.)

Mariasol’s Thoughts on Kimkins and Laxative Abuse

When checking my blog stats, I noticed that many people end up on my blog from a google search on laxatives for weight loss. How sad.

Laxatives are not useful for weight loss. They cause loss of water weight. Not fat loss. The drop on the scale is not permanent. As soon as you replace the lost…
