Why would we want to follow the advice of someone who is not a trained health professional? But we do it all the time. We take pills, we starve, we eat nothing but meat or no fat, ect.

When I was here before and lost from 350 to 170, I had TONS of PM's asking for my help. Everyone wanted to know the secret. Everone wanted to be my diet buddy. The secret was, I didn't cheat, exercised faithfully and it still took me almost 3 years (I was 310 when I started Atkins) In other words, I worked for it. Long and hard.

We want results quick and without putting forth any, or much effort. One more person in the world figured that out and is cashing in on it.

Well said. That's what upsets me and has me asking so many questions and questioning so many things.

My Sister is one of those people that has tried every quick fix and it has hurt her health.

Does it say on the classmates website the date the profile was made? I mean, I suppose it could be some kind of hoax, but I seriously doubt it.

Tylar_Connar · 07-03-2007, 11:34 AM

Where does she claim that the pic in the red dress is her?? I see it on her website but it does not say it is her??

This here pretty much sums up my train of thought on the whole Kimkins phenomenon. Eventually someone is going to get sick.

When you go to "who is Kimmer" on her site, it shows a before and after of somebody

If you click the Meet Your Team link in the menu, it's clearly suggested that Red Dress Lady is Kimmer.

Not likely. IANAL, and I have not seen her website, but most likely she's got a disclaimer on there about "consulting your doctor" and "this is not to be taken as medical advice," or whatever phrases will release her of any legal claims if a lawsuit is brought against her.

jedswife · 07-03-2007, 11:43 AM

ack! i just started checking into the different kimkins plan (k/e and kimkins) omg! is she for real advising people to eat only between 300-800 calories a day.

that is scary dangerous for a long term plan - what happens after you lose the weight - do you still keep cals that low????????

CarolinaRocker · 07-03-2007, 11:51 AM

These statements are contradictory...

Do I have to exercise?

Absolutely not! While cardio has many benefits including conditoning and toning, it does relatively little for weight loss. If a 200 pound woman walked 2 miles she would burn 175 calories. This means it would take 20 days to lose just 1 pound!

Some people will actually avoid beginning a diet because they dread the required exercise of most plans. With Kimkins it's a no brainer! No exercise required.

What is Kimkins Boot Camp? Is it included in my membership?

Of course! Kimkins Boot Camp is an intense variation of Kimkins and requires 30+ minutes of daily cardio. Many of our biggest and fastest losers did Boot Camp for extra speedy results!

is it just me...or does that not make a lick of sense???
