The Kimkins Diet Scam

Morning!

You know, nothing warms my heart more than seeing justice served.

Alas, sometimes other scummy critters scurry away from the justice, and try to keep a long-dead scam alive.

I’m talking, of course, about the Kimkins diet scam.  Brief, pithy and to point, a rather low-life individual named Heidi Diaz created a "diet plan" that (get this) simply required people not to eat a lot.  And we’re talking staying BELOW 800 calories a day!

Due to rather shoddy reporting, this scam got the goahead from Womens World:

• Woman’s World apologizes for promoting Kimkins Diet
• Weight Loss: Kimkins Controversy and Women’s World Apology
• The Kimkins Diet Controversy

What’s really scary is that staying on a low carb low calorie diet resulted in hair loss, hospital visits and more for some of the more die-hard Kimkins fans:

• The Kimkins Calamity: From Merely A Raw Business Deal To A Really Big Danger
• Kimkins ‘Cover Girl’ Passionately Declares Diet ‘Dangerous’ After Health Issues Emerge

So now you’re probably saying to yourself, Jeepers Barb, that was back in 2007 and 2008…why post about it now?

Why?

Because I just saw a post from the Kimkins site to a blog, suggesting that it still is truly a great weight loss plan people should check out.

ARGH!

It maddens me that people will try to scam folks who are honestly looking for a way to lose weight and get healthy.    Hence…this post.

Enjoy,
