Are you a WOLF or SHEEP?

Fable of Aesop… 

According to the fable, a hungry wolf came upon a sheep’s fleece lying on the on ground in a field. The wolf realized that if it wore the fleece, it would look like a sheep from a distance. That would enable the wolf to sneak up on a flock of sheep and steal a lamb for its supper, before the shepherd noticed his presence.The wolf put on the fleece, and went off in search of a flock of sheep. It spied a flock of sheep just as the sun was setting, and approached the flock. Just as it was about to pounce on a lamb, a shepherd came by, looking for a sheep to slaughter for supper. Thinking the disguised wolf was a sheep, the shepherd quickly grabbed and killed the wolf.An alternate version is, another wolf is sneaking around looking for a sheep for dinner, and pounces on the wolf in sheep’s clothing, killing it and eating it for supper instead of a real sheep.

….or low calories and starvation levels of eating?  Yea right! Then how come I can find post after post showing YOU,  telling your “lifetime” members to do just that? OK, maybe you’ve been on your best behavior lately……. but, come on, we all know (and can prove) that you are only trying to keep yourself out of the HOT WATER  you’re in, since the “ducks” called your bluff and turned your butt into the authorities.  Let’s face it, you’re running scared.  And, with good reason!  Your, loyal kimkinites (that’s members) keep saying that they have never seen anything on the site that suggests and promotes such things.  Well, how come I can find it?  How come there is page after page recommending these ridiculous anorexia tactics?  Any newbie who’s interested in losing a serious amount of weight could easily stumble across such dangerous advice and think that this is the way to go.  Just because you’re watching your step now, doesn’t mean it’s always been that way.  Just read below:

Member #1 says, So, it finally happened to me.  Something downstairs is not going through the tunnels correctly, so I broke down ad bought some Epsom salt. I thought, on 2-3 teaspoons, that’s not so bad.  I have been dissolving them in the water for a bit and my first swig I almost (gagging face) So, the rest of it is sort of sitting here waiting for me to drink it, and I have to because you know…you sort of can’t just not go. 

Member #2 says…I’m pretty sure there is no way I could do the epson salt… I’ve tried MOM and that is nasty also… taste is horrid!!! Hope your able to get that down and get some relief….

Member #1 says…Well, I got creative and put half a lemon in there. Well, the juice of half a lemon.  I am sure someone will come along and tell me I counteracted the stupid stuff.

Kimmer says…What’s wrong with Epsom salts?It helps if you mix it in a blender with diet soda or strong Crystal Light.  Doesn’t help much, but it does help. <Belch>To start off, how about either trying ES again, or take a double dose of a “pill” type laxative? I’m glad you’re being brave, we don’t want “stuff” hanging around… no good!Lemon is fine, BTW! 

Member #1 says…Wow, interesting ideas! I will have to try them.  You know, I did consider the pills, they are cheap…but compared to the ES, they are like buying a whole cow!  The ES is insanely cheap and I figured I have to at least try it before I decide against it. It totally and I mean totally did the ol’ trick-a-roni. (smile face)

Here’s another Kimmer post on laxatives….For KE which is lean protein and fiberless, then no.If you’re doing Benefiber, check the fiber grams per serving and how often you’re taking it. It may be enough?The usual recommendation is 30 gm a day.If you’d like something more interesting, you can switch to Kimkins … or a couple days of unlimited Kimkins veggies, not the limit.If you’re taking fiber supplements, be sure to drink enough fluids or it will work in the reverse (ewww!) And/or supplement with a mild laxative to “help”.

A KK member posts her menus…I am so happy because I have found real ketosis and have no appitite due to that and SNATT. My only real concern is I am wondering something. Fasting is one thing but I am not fasting. So I am curious how long my calories can be really low before I have to worry. I have tried to keep them around 400 and have only managed that once in 4 days. Here is my breakdown from my fitday. I am trying not be be concerned but natural instinct is to question myself.

June 17th   188 cal   10 fat   5 carb

June 16th 373 cal   12 fat   4 carb   59 protein  17protein

June 15th 443 cal   32 fat   1 carb   36 protein   

June 14th 227 cal   7 fat   1 carb   37 protein

OH PSI can fit into my 18’s again. I can button and zip the regular ones but to tight to wear out of the house. The stretch ones I have been wearing all day today. Tried on 5 different pairs of 18’s today. I was having fun. I need to take my measurements again I bet I have lost some serious inchage since 44 lbs ago…. 

And her fellow KK member (Friend) replies…Woohoo! Great job!

Kimmer follows with….Did I tell ya or did I tell ya? It would happen!Don’t panic about low calories. First up, you had gastric surgery and your doctor intended that your calories would go way down. Many, many post op patients stick around 500 calories for months, until they’re closer to goal. Second up,Last up, think of all the plans that are designed by professionals to be specically very low calories: Stillman’s, Optifast, Last Chance Diet, any water fasting program. You don’t have to fast specifically. When your calories are very low, and foods are small (quick) to eat, your body can finish the digestion process that much faster. When digestion is done, your body goes back to housecleaning and repairs.Bottom line, as long as you have sufficient body fat you don’t need to eat calories — you’re carrying them with you. A person with 200 lb to lose is lugging around 700,000 calories! If your body needs 2000 calories for the day and eats 300, the body will take 1700 calories from body fat (which is why it’s there.) As you lose weight, your body will need fewer calories which is why weight loss naturally slows as we near goal.You do want to stay busy (painting a room was sheer genius!) You do want to take your Centrum type vitamin. Most of all, you do want to let your body do what it does best — take care of itself by dropping the extra fat.If you’ve got time, read my post on the benefits of water fasting (article by Curezone) which explains about what your body does for protein during a water fast. Very interesting stuff!How do you feel?

Here’s another shocking exchange…please look at my fitday 1 Year, 9 Months ago     I am up 3 pounds since yesterday! I lost 4 pounds overnight on thursday, now on friday I am up 3 pounds. I am sure it is water, because I have a tendency to retain for medical reasons. But, I want to make sure my food is okay for losing.  I have venous insuficiency that lets the blood pool in my legs. It gives me pitting edema in my calves and ankles. I do occasionally take a ‘water pill’ for this, as well as wearing heavy knee high support hose. (Boy are those pretty! LOL)        

Again Kimmer, spews…Let’s see, off the top recall the bathroom scale shows what we ate about 3-4 days ago.  For you, that’s the 13th and 11th (and before) your calories were a bit high at 1350′ish (sausage, hamburger, regular salad dressing, chicken wings and avocado).Pork sausage, 1 oz? Fitday default, what was the actual amt?Eggs (2), were they cooked in the fat from the sausage?Cauliflower, raw 1 cup – how did you measure the florets?Tuna, 4 oz – is that the weighed amount from a 6.5 oz can?Ken’s salad dressing, 2 teaspoons – is that flat measured or guessed?These are the foods I’d skip for now. Remember, it’s a short time and then we’ll add stuff back:Mt. Olive relish (I know it’s LC, but hold off)BBQ sauceavocadofull fat dressingchicken wings (especially premade)If you forego the extras (or every other day?) it will help. Check the veggie list to the left and limit salad type choices to 2 cup and “cooked” choices (like cauliflower) to .5 cup total per day. More chicken & fish and less hamburger & sausage will help, too. You’re making a big transition and you’re making splendid progress! Why do you feel bad about taking a water pill? If you need it you need it, pitting edema’s no fun! So grab a glass of water and do it!

Kimmer, says….    xxxxx, not really. If I am already deep in to kimkins (on week 3) and losing about a pound a day on 500-700 calories, and I take 1 full day of fasting, shouldn’t I at least keep losing at the same rate, and even an ounce or two more since I didn’t have my 500-700 calories that day? and kimmers said that we lose weight WAY faster than the 3500 calories per pound theory… because of the whole ketosis/dominos thing…

THE END – FOR NOW!!! (if I need to get more, I’m sure I can)

So – I’m calling BS on Kimmer’s claim to innocence.She’s a Lying, Liar that Lies every chance she gets!For all those folks out there that said these kinds of things don’t go on at Kimkins, WRONG! They are there.  They DO go on!  Kimmer (Heidi) did post these things and she’s crazy for trying to hurt these innocent members.   And anyone, who can just look past these posts and say “oh, but the diet works, and I don’t care if Kimmer gained her weight back, or whatever…”  You need to read these exchanges AGAIN!!!!!  

….AND THROW OUT THE KOOL-AID ……..IT COULD KILL YOU!!!!!!

Medusa’s reponse…..

 Anonymous…I’ll tell you what’s “sad”…Kimkinites following Kimmer’s advice (when she doesn’t follow it herself) who end up starving themselves and ruining their health. That’s what’s sad.And who are you to say we don’t help others out in shelters, etc?Yeah, I agree with you…it is getting old…because of people like you who continue to support Heidi Diaz and her starvation diet plan. You and other Kimkinites can personally hold yourselves responsible for the perpetuation of this diet.And if you think you’ve gotten off scot-free healthwise by following Kimkins, give yourself a few months and then come back to me and tell me how you’re managing with your thyroid whacked, your hair falling out in clumps, chest pains, etc. I’d love to hear from you then.Now, do something useful yourself and go stick your head back in the sand. I’ve had it with you and your like who are so blind that you can’t see that the woman whose diet you’re following is an admitted liar, thief, scam artist, and fraud who never lost a pound following her own Kimkins starvation diet, who is still morbidly obese, and used fake Russian Bride “before and after” pictures to depict herself.With people like you visiting her website and buying into her weight-loss plan, she made $1.4 million through fraud and deception. If that is the kind of person you wish to be associated with, then good on ya’, honey.Now buzz off. I have work to do bringing that scammer and her diet down

And here is my response….. 

Hey Anonymous,
So, I guess if it’s worked for you and you “have seen” no adverse conditions, then it MUST be a “healthy diet”? Huh? What about ALL THOSE THAT ARE SUFFERING? What about all those that have ruined their health by following this unhealthy diet? What about those that ARE STARVING and dealing with VERY DANGEROUS eating disorders because of following the Kimkins diet plan to the tee?You have no compassion or empathy for them?You think because they are adults then it’s OK to ruin their health.I’ll tell you what’s SAD. Sad, is when a 46 year old adult can’t see past their own stupidity to “see” the big picture. You could starve yourself all by yourself, without paying $80 to a scam artist. Anyone can loose weight by NOT EATING! But to sit there and say that just because you’ve seen no adverse effects in yourself – means that it must be healthy, is just plain stupidity. You can’t possibly speak for all who’ve joined that site and followed that diet. You can’t possibly “know” what others have had to deal with when it comes to their own health. Who are you to speak for them. Who are you to preach to the anti kimkins folks about what they should or should not be doing? What are you doing to help others? What are you doing to help your fellow kimkinites from falling into the dreaded eating disordered black hole?Are you telling others on the kimkins forums to NOT use laxatives daily? Are you telling them that if they are losing handfuls of hair that they should eat more? Are you telling them if they are having heart palpitations that they should stop following the diet and see their doctor. Are you telling them that FOOD is not the ENEMY?
I’ve read the posts over there and NO WHERE do I see ANYONE preaching those things to those that are struggling.If anyone should be ashamed of themselves, it should be YOU!
For continuing the perpetuation of a FRAUD! Your “seal of approval” could actually kill someone. Have you ever thought about that?I agree with Medusa, Go Stick Your Head Back In The Sand!!! Because it’s people like you who are helping to hurt so many. Once you come out of the “protective confines” of the Kimkins forums and start defending that crazy diet, you open yourself up to all that you get.Oh, and congratulations on your weight loss. I do honestly hope that you “tweaked” the diet to be more healthy and that you do not have to come back here, down the road, and admit that you have ruined your health (like others have).
Now, THAT WOULD BE SAD!!!!

Others, like BamaGal, Jimmy Moore, Avenue Girl, OhYeahBabe -fired back too. 

Apparently, Anonymous hit a nerve with myself and others.  Speaking for myself, I saw red when I read her post.  Who does she think she is?  What makes her think that the ducks and others who are trying to shut Heidi down aren’t involved in any other worthy cause? 

Anonymous, Ive got some more questions for ya! 

Do you really think you can walk into a hornet’s nest and lay down accusations like that and then just wonder off?  As I asked you in my comment, what are you doing to help the helpless?  How are you responding to the posters on the Kimkins website who are struggling to keep it together?  Have you told the members there to eat more?  Have you told ANYONE to see a doctor?    Just because you are a 46 year old adult who lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time, doesn’t make you  some sort of superior voice of wisdom.  It only makes you look stupid to have followed such a defunct diet.  I could easily compare your line of thinking to those on the pro-Ana sites.  They think their way of (not) eating is the way to go too.  You may not be showing any signs of health problems yet!  But, what are you going to do and say if you do?  Are you going to continue to trash the hard work of those that are trying to stop this self proclaimed fraud (kimmer) from doing harm to anyone else?  Or, are you going to just disappear into the darkness and never let anyone know what harm the diet has done to you?  Or are you going to join the fight?  Have you ever wondered what has happened to all the folks that used to post on the KK forums?  Do you think that, just like you, they’ve lost the weight and have moved on?  40,000 members – where are they?  Well, in my opinion, you couldn’t be more wrong.  Only a handful of ex members have come forward to report what the diet has done to them – and only a handful (of ex-kimkins members) are diligently working to stop others from experiencing such pain.  And you want to poo poo that effort?  It’s real easy to sit behind your computer screen and talk about helping folks on the street, in shelters and pantry’s, when you disagree with what someone has blogged about on their own blog.  But tell me this,  have you got your hands dirty helping the unfortunate?  I’d bet big money the answer would be NO!  Because if you had, or if you do, there is no way in hell that you could trash the hard work of these women who are only trying to help those in pain.  There is No Way you could sit there and in one breath speak of helping others, then speak of Kimkins as the saving grace to the dieting world.  Even those that are still members and still following the plan don’t have the balls to walk in to an anti-kimkins blog and blast the haters and then defend the diet.  Not in January 2008 – maybe in Sept 2007 – but NOT NOW!  After all that has been uncovered.  After the deposition where Heidi, herself admits to being a fraud.  After people have come forward with documented proof that the diet has caused health issues?  Class Action Lawsuits?  Local and National media coverage?  Russian Brides? Photshopped Pictures?  Hiding money and income?  1.4 million dollars?   Frozen assets?  Thirteen threads at LCF?   Hundreds of anti-kimkins blogs and sites?  Are you kidding me?  What planet are you on?  How could you, in your right mind, defend such an unhealthy diet?  How could you spit in the faces of those that have been harmed by Heidi Diaz and her diet?  You tell me what makes more sense… listening to you bad mouth the efforts of those that have been harmed by Heidi, just because you lost weight OR continuing the fight against kimkins?  I vote the latter!

Oh, and one more thing…..

Here is some very good reading for you, Anonymous.  Sit down, grab a cup of coffee, a low carb snack and READ!!!!   http://kimkinssurvivors.wordpress.com/

you may just learn something!  Compassion would be nice!

Abc did a great job, in a short 5 minute segment, to show the dangers of the Kimkins diet.  

See for yourself by clicking on the link below.             

  Abc Video

If you’d like to make a comment or congratulate Abc for the taking the time to get the word out

about how dangerous this diet is, you can post your comments at

 Abc Forums

National exposure is so important, in the grand scheme of things, to get Kimkins shut down.  Not everyone is aware of the dangers of this diet.  And it will take segments like this to get the word out.  Those folks who continue to read the threads at the anti kimkins sites understand the dangers and most have removed themselves from the continuation of harming themselves with this diet.  But others, who are unaware of the dangers of this diet, those that don’t read the information on the web, have not.  It’s shows like ABC, KTLA and the Fox -Mike & Juliet morning show, that will get the word out as to how dangerous this diet is.  It is segments like this that will help those that signed up and paid money to Kimmer to realize that there is a lawsuit in the works to stop her from harming others.  It is this class action lawsuit that will eventually help recoup the money spent by innocent dieters that stumbled into this dangerous diet program.  Thank you ABC!!! for helping with the fight.  Now, let’s keep our fingers crossed that 20/20-Prime Time- Dateline- and others will take notice and feature this unhealthy, nutritionally bankrupt diet and do a FULL expose about what a SCAM Kimkins is.

FTC, Attorney General, IRS and others!!!

Take notice! 

Others are taking notice - why not you?

I challenge you !!!

Do the RIGHT THING – Shut the site down!!

http://saynotokimkins.wordpress.com/2008/01/15/harmed-by-kimkins-share-your-story-on-national-tv/

Please take the time to go to this site and see if YOU qualify to help.  We have been hoping that the National media would pick this up and run with it and with your help, we can get the word out and hopefully save other innocent dieters from the EVIL, WICKED, LYING, LIAR, that LIES.  Help stop the FRAUD.

OK, lets set aside for a minute the fact that Kimkins.com and Heidi Diaz is a fraud and scam.  Let’s forget for a moment that Heidi Diaz (owner and founder of Kimkins.com) is in business only to take your money and ban you from her site if you disagree with her unhealthy diet advice.  And, Hang on to your pocketbooks folks, because Kimmer is raising the anti.  The new membership price was raised recently to $79.95.  Now, I don’t know about you, but that’s a lot of money to spend on a diet site that preaches unhealthy practices at starvation levels of eating.  Even if I had an extra eighty bucks laying around, I would still find it hard to lay that kind of money down when there are hundreds, if not thousands of FREE sites all over the net offering MUCH BETTER ADVICE AND SUPPORT.   But, unfortunately and sadly, people are still signing up and paying that outrageous ”membership” fee.  When you are facing the dangers of being overweight  or possibly considering weight loss surgery, $79.95 might not seem too extreme.  But, let me tell you, this thinking could get you into some deep deep trouble. 

It has been shown many times that Heidi Diaz, aka Kimmer, founder of Kimkins.com seems to have an extreme hatred for her fellow peers in the weight loss world.  She seems to enjoy watching her members suffer and struggle with their weight loss journey.  I’m not sure where this hatred comes from.  Maybe, it’s simply because she has been unable to lose weight herself and has messed herself up SO badly from extreme and rapid weight loss attempts that she feels the need to “watch” others suffer as well.  Maybe she gets a thrill from “seeing” others unable to sustain their weight loss because she, herself has been unable to do so.  Or maybe she is just an EVIL, WICKED woman who enjoys seeing people suffer, simply for the fun of it.  Who knows!  But, one thing is for sure, her diet is dangerous and could cause lasting health problems if followed as written.  Let’s take a look a the Kimkins way of eating. 

This is taken straight from the website as written…

 Now, let’s look at some of the “rules”….

We suggest a minimum of 800 calories per day or per your doctor’s recommendation. 

Listed below are the guidelines for each Kimkins Diet option. 

That’s it! 

Pick the one you like, follow the easy rules exactly and enjoy fast weight loss 

First of all, since when is 800 calories a day HEALTHY????  I don’t know ANY reputable doctor who would suggest that 800 calories a day is safe.  The rule of thumb is 1200 for a female and 1500 for a male.  And this is based on the common low fat – high carb “American” way of eating.  That’s a far cry from the written 800.  Furthermore, when following a Low Carb WOE it is recommended to UP both calories and FAT to counter the low amounts of carbs consumed.  Your body needs those calories and fat to function properly.  But, what is even more surprising, is that when you look closer at the recommended options the calories don’t even add up to 800.  And once on the site and in the forums, the recommendations are to keep going lower with your food intake and calorie levels to move past a stall or to increase your losses.  Now, I don’t know too many people who enjoy dieting.  And if it were me, I’d want that weight off as fast as I could get it off.  So, when the leader and founder of this magical diet tells me to cut my calories and fat… I might think OK if it worked for you, it might work for me.  Another issue here, is that going extremely low carb will most definitely put you into ketosis.  Ketosis acts as an appetite suppressant.  You are not hungry when in ketosis and it is fairly easy to not eat.   But it doesn’t make it healthy.  You need to eat to loose weight.  Your metabolism functions correctly when you eat enough food for you.  If you don’t your metabolism doesn’t work correctly and your body stores anything and everything in the form of fat.   Now, let’s look at a few menus posted on the Kimkins website.  These postings are from actual members and from Kimmer herself.  This is what they are reporting as their daily food intake.  Now, you tell me, does any of this look like 800 plus calories a day?  Nope!  Not Even Close!  Do you see an adequate amount of fat in these menus to counteract the effects of eating low carb?  Nope! Again, Not Even Close!!  So, no matter what they say on the front page of the Kimkins website, if you are following Kimmer or other members in their weight loss journey and trying to emulate their successes, you WILL be tempted to do it their way and follow their menu posts to get the same results.  Very Scary and Dangerous!!!

For lunch I nibble on turkey breast (from Thanksgiving, but I will keep a turkey/chicken roasted at all times so I can have the breast)
For dinner I will have low sodium chicken broth with more of the turkey/chicken breast in it. I’ve put scallions in just for flavor but jsut a few clippings.

So, I challenge you to plug these menus into Fitday and see what you get!!!
