Gweebles · 09-27-2007, 11:18 PM

WOW, they just deleted Newbie Support completely!! Someone having an alcoholic moment?

Queeny · 09-27-2007, 11:18 PM

But if you never posted there, what could she ban you for??? That is some bull shizzle if I have ever heard any. I can't wait for this whole saga to be over!
__________________________________________________ _

oh I posted maybe four times over there.........3 when it first started up, saying hi to folks, then about a month ago I did one post saying prayers to someone who had a sick dog.................

that's ok, it was so BORING over there that I hardly ever even went over there, I only went back recently since the fascination thread started.....

kakay · 09-27-2007, 11:20 PM

DID any one access kimkins to see the farewell?

Gweebles · 09-27-2007, 11:24 PM

There goes Kimkins Cafe!! She is on a rampage tonight!! LOL

The following loooooong post was just put in every forum over at KK's. Whooohhooooooo!

Kimkins is THE best diet EVER!! 19 Minutes ago Is what I would have said three months ago. You see, about three months ago, I was 42 lbs lighter, only 35 lbs away from my goal weight. I was thrilled to have finally found something that works for me.
Then one day, while at work, I almost passed out. Employees said I looked white as a ghost. I justfied the episode somehow in my mind and moved on.
About a month ago, I noticed small pains in my chest area. Sort of like little “twangs”. I can no longer ignore these pains as they are undoubtably becoming more frequent.
I cannot ignore my body any longer. I cannot ignore that nagging feeling that “something is just not quite right” with Kimmer and the Kimkins diet.
I cannot ignore the overwhelming evidence that Kimmer did not lose the weight she claims she did. I used to say “I don’t care if Kimmer is a robot, this diet works!” I tried to justify the facts. If Kimmer is telling the truth why does she not produce more before and after pics to put an end to this whole thing once and for all? Let’s think about this logically: Look at your own weight loss and what an accomplishment it is. Remember how great it feels? You’ve worked hard to accomplish something and are proud of what you did. You want people to see your before and after pics because you are proud of yourself. Yet Kimmer refuses to provide those pics? The ugly reality is she can’t produce any current pics because she does not have any. Not one.
I cannot ignore the harmful advice that she has given me and countless others to keep calories and fat as low as possible. After all, gastric bypass patients eat as low as 500 cals a day she would say. I now know that they are under strick doctor’s care and, they up their calories to normal ranges within the first 1-2 months. She would also say things such as “there is no such thing as starvation mode”. I wanted to believe it, too. It’s not true.
I cannot ignore the health issues that other people are having on this diet. You could hear Christin (WW cover girl) in her own words here: The Journey. As you listen, truly ask yourself what could possibly be her motivation for saying what she says. Money? She lost money by leaving Kimkins. Fame? She already had it due to her being on the cover of WW. Take a listen and let me know what you think is truly motivating her to say what she is saying.
I cannot ignore the current Kimkins admins and members who praise Kimmer and the diet. It’s sickening. It’s sickening not only because they are deceived but it’s sickening because those same people will most likely be writing something very similar to this once they too realize how deceptive Kimmer is and how dangerous the diet truly is. The very ones who lose the weight quickly will most likely have the same symptoms that are being reported by tons of other people.
I cannot ignore my own emotions and feelings about the entire ordeal. Who would have known, though?? Kimmer gave me something that nobody else had ever given me: HOPE. Hope that I could do lose the weight and keep it off. Kimmer gave me hope that this is a WOE that I could follow the rest of my life. Kimmer gave me hope that I could be thin again. She gave me hope that I could be finally freed of my addiction to eating. But guess what? It was a false hope because she never lost the weight. It was a lie. And now I’m left praying that the symptoms I’m experiencing will go away once I renoursh my body.
My sincere prayer is that what I’ve written will reach at least one person. I beg you now: If you too have been having that “gut” feeling, you know which one I’m talking about, please do your research. www.kimkinsexposed.com. Do not be afraid to get off of the plan is a wonderful tool. Pray for wisdom. HE will provide it to those who ask. Let my last words on this forum ring in your ears:
This is a DANGEROUS diet and Kimmer is lying to you.

We are making a difference! You ladies are awesome! Keep it up!

And, lest you think this post is WAY to OT, I have a reporter/anchor friend at the CBS affiliate in L.A. and I'm going to pitch the whole Kimkins scam story to her. I can't guarantee she'll do the story, but I do know how to set it up and get her interested. I'm gonna try!!!

I had just responded to hippiegirl on melt and then read your post! Wow.

I hope your contacts are interested in doing the story. That would be fantastic!

Thanks for posting that Mayberry!!!

I know that when I was doing kimkins I only found out about the issues by reading someone's concerns on Kimkins. I didn't surf the net looking for information about the diet I was already doing.
I just wish someone had gotten the news out sooner. At least if I had been there only a few weeks the health damage would be less and I would have been able to get a paypal refund to boot!!!

Geez, I GOTTA get some sleep, but I thought you guys would like to see this! Remember the Tippy post somewhere back saying "we really don't know how Christin lost her weight.." Maybe, Tipsters, as an ADMIN at KK's you could be bothered to check out this thread currently available in the KK's forums:

stardust1 · 09-27-2007, 11:39 PM

From my own experience: I have tried to have a civilized communication and I have tried to address issues in a polite manner, I happen to be polite in real life and it usually doesn't change. I had to bite my tongue more than once after I found out how the system works at KK and that you basically get banned for thinking. I had to bite my tongue even more frequently when I read the advice from hell that Admins were giving when responding to other people's health issues. I work in healthcare and it makes me sick to hear somebody say: "Your hair is falling out, you are doing a good job on KK. It's normal." They are the ones playing with people's lives. I have never attacked anybody, and I said that in one of my last posts. The problem is that every attempt on my side resulted in my posts being deleted. I have tried to address things like anorexia, I was shocked to read that people eat 100 calories a day! I don't want to bother you with all the details, everybody knows the issues anyway.

But: I got really mad today when Melt started beating on a member and I addressed the issue. To my big surprise my first 2 posts got deleted within one and 2 minutes and that's when I got really, really upset.

What I am trying to say is that they don't give anybody a chance to express their opinion, because posts get deleted in a matter of minutes. There are wonderful people on KK. Wonderful people that have been betrayed in many ways. There is no way we can become like "them". I don't play with people's lives. They do.

Hugs to everybody,

Dana

I know I need to eat more and as I have already blown my matabolism on KK, I am not real hungry anyway. I will work on it soon. I still have some (just slight, mind you) problems with eating a lot. Sure wish I had that problem 30 years ago, maybe I wouldn't be overweight, lol.

Right now my therapy is getting that site shut down and maybe saving someone else from going through what I and others have gone through!

1. I transtioned slowly but adding more fat and 100-200 calories a week until I am back to eating around 1200 each day for the last week. That's up from the 500-600 I was eating while doing KK.

2. I put back on about 4 pounds at first, but they have come off and I am now about the same as when I stopped doing strict KK and some days about 1 pound less.

3. Overall for the last month I have been maintaining. Just going up and down the same 2 pounds.

I have not noticed any more hair thinning. Overall, I was not having any serious problems on KK other than leg cramps at first.

Also the Affiliate programs on KK's site. There is one that is a "clearing house" of sorts that manages affiliate programs for business', they manage the affiliate program for a certain check printing company that is on the KK affiliate list. If you go to their website and click on affiliate program you can get his contact info.

I sent a little note to virtual model because the way kimmer markets it, it's like one of "her" tools she gives for free and wraps it to look part of the kimkins site. IMO, if I was one of those companies, I don't mind a link etc, but I would prefer it opens into a new window so clearly it's their website, not part of kimkins.

I also note that virtual model didn't appear to be an affiliate... It was still there last time I looked so I guess they didn't have THAT much of an issue with it.

Geez, I GOTTA get some sleep, but I thought you guys would like to see this! Remember the Tippy post somewhere back saying "we really don't know how Christin lost her weight.." Maybe, Tipsters, as an ADMIN at KK's you could be bothered to check out this thread currently available in the KK's forums: Christin's FAQ - HOW I DID IT (you can too!) by Christin [Page: 1...51,52,53] 525 38951 2007/09/13 21:22 by backontrack Tippy ===> Me======>

Start Date: 09/19/08	Originally Posted by AuntieMame everyone! I have a couple of questions for the former Kimkins people. 1. How have you transitioned off of the diet? 2. How is your body responding to the transition? 3. Are you able to lose weight? maintain? 1. I transtioned slowly but adding more fat and 100-200 calories a week until I am back to eating around 1200 each day for the last week. That's up from the 500-600 I was eating while doing KK. 2. I put back on about 4 pounds at first, but they have come off and I am now about the same as when I stopped doing strict KK and some days about 1 pound less. 3. Overall for the last month I have been maintaining. Just going up and down the same 2 pounds. I have not noticed any more hair thinning. Overall, I was not having any serious problems on KK other than leg cramps at first. __________________ "Feeling healthy and feeling good about yourself is not a luxury - it's an absolute necessity."

stardust1 Senior LCF Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Posts: 126 Gallery: stardust1 WOE: Atkins	From my own experience: I have tried to have a civilized communication and I have tried to address issues in a polite manner, I happen to be polite in real life and it usually doesn't change. I had to bite my tongue more than once after I found out how the system works at KK and that you basically get banned for thinking. I had to bite my tongue even more frequently when I read the advice from hell that Admins were giving when responding to other people's health issues. I work in healthcare and it makes me sick to hear somebody say: "Your hair is falling out, you are doing a good job on KK. It's normal." They are the ones playing with people's lives. I have never attacked anybody, and I said that in one of my last posts. The problem is that every attempt on my side resulted in my posts being deleted. I have tried to address things like anorexia, I was shocked to read that people eat 100 calories a day! I don't want to bother you with all the details, everybody knows the issues anyway. But: I got really mad today when Melt started beating on a member and I addressed the issue. To my big surprise my first 2 posts got deleted within one and 2 minutes and that's when I got really, really upset. What I am trying to say is that they don't give anybody a chance to express their opinion, because posts get deleted in a matter of minutes. There are wonderful people on KK. Wonderful people that have been betrayed in many ways. There is no way we can become like "them". I don't play with people's lives. They do. Hugs to everybody, Dana

This place and Jimmy's are way better than kk's could ever be...both places allow freedom!!!!!! You stood up many times and I saw your posts and know others did because it gotten sparser and sparser over there. I think you made an impact by being reasonable in your legitimate protests.
