And of course, everyone on Kimkins has so much extra energy that they will want to be exercising any way, right?

Of course, if they DO up their calories to 800 per day, they might increase their stamina fractionally!

It does seem rather funny to have a fitness guru when you tell people they don't have to exercise on your diet.

This time I have been really hungry since Sunday - all I do is think about food - and the last 2 days I have had 1 oz. of peanuts and I am wondering if the added fat and salt has played a part in my increased hunger. Has anyone else had this happen? What have you done to stop the hunger and thinking about food? Thanks

Poor thing. Starving huh? It's gotta be that 1oz of peanuts. HEY! peanuts aren't on kimkins!!!

Do you think she means she has only had 1 oz of peanuts in 2 days or does she mean she added 1oz of peanuts to her already miniscule amount of food?

Hey, here's an idea. Why don't we all do the same thing ~ except we can all walk to Heidi's house.

Quack Quack

You are a riot, FMW!! I love your sense of humor.

Almost as funny as having a pretend doctor telling you to eat things not allowed on your diet.

I swear, if the lies and fraud Kimmer pulled weren't enough to scare those diehard remaining members out, and now these new "experts"?? What does it take, a stick of dynamite????

jenjenjen · 10-09-2007, 11:13 PM

I refuse to pay $60.00 to Kimkin, but I signed up for the 10 reasons to chose Kimkins and everyday for 10 days they send you a new reason. Below is tonights email,
Jen

Hey there!

As promised, here's another reason why joining Kimkins.com is a smart move!

First off, there's no faster diet than Kimkins. We blow the weight loss socks off of South Beach, Jenny Craig, Atkins, Nutrisystem -- and don't even get me started on that slow poke Weight Watchers!

We're also the cheapest diet! How can you beat that combo -- cheapest and fastest! All of the other diets charge year after year, but Kimkins is only one small fee -- that's it!

The sooner you join, the sooner you'll be thin!

I am a proud member of banned camp, so I can't ask Dr. Mark myself....

I'm just curious. If Kimmer were Pinocchio, how LONG would her nose be by now?

A bunch of people are reporting being banned today. They are on a roll. Many people have been asking about the post notifications they received this weekend in their inbox with the links to Lesya. That's gotten them banned.

Wow. You're one of the great success stories. And they BANNED YOU?

Gee. They should mention that if they're still using your story--"This member is now banned. We can't tell you why, cause then we'd have to admit we're a buncha loons and cons."

Too much to hope for, I know.

I suspect that they (in all their wisdom) are trying to ban each and all of the oldies....yea, the ones that remember life before the RABBLEROUSERS, WHISTLE BLOWERS, VIDEO RECORDING HOOCHIES..........you get the gest. Clear the decks, bring on the new suckers. They are gunning for the older members who yea, might remember that Kimmer is a FRAUD....that she posted pics of lovely Russian Ladies very unsuspectantly as supposed success stories of Kimmers (Heidi's) carefully planned train Wreck. Bottom line...they are CLEARING THE DECKS...........waiting for new fresh blood.
I hope what we have worked to hard for is enough to protect this from happening. Time will tell.

I hate kimmers and all that she/they stand for. I hope we will all keep up the amazing fight. ITs been a head- spinner. Rock on you AMAZING PEOPLE!!!!

Yep. Another selling point they aim to toss out the window in their renovations?

I suspect the "lose fast, no exercise" thing also snagged many dieters. Many of us--me included--really don't like the whole sweating and grunting thing, unless it's in bed.

The idea of FAST LOSS and NO EXERCISE had to really appeal to that segment that just loathes the gym thing.

But the FG is there to save the Snatty slothful from their unsweaty ways. (Let's see how well sound echoes in the exercise thread as the days go on.)

And Kimmer along with any reference to her amazing 200 pound loss (except a few stragglers in the newsletters, which I'm sure they'll pull eventually) is gone too.

Could it be that they have managed to transform Kimkins into a legitimate, safe diet site? We all know it didn't USED to be that way, but is that what people see now? Is that what the doctor is seeing? Is it possible that they've managed to scrub the site clean? We all know that Kimmer is still profiting from the website, and that's why it should go down in flames, but what if there is no connection between Kimmer and Kimkins anymore?

Even if the Dr. sees what happened in the past, what if he thinks that the diet has been reworked, that the site had disassociated itself from Kimmer? It seems to me that this is what they've been setting up all this time with the supposed change in ownership and the sudden yanking of all things Kimmer.

Hmmmm....

Lou

No matter how you repackage CRAP it is still CRAP. You can put it on a silver platter and it is still CRAP. You can wrap it in nice packaging and put a big ole bow on top and it is STILL CRAP. You can tell people hey it isn't CRAP and this new CRAP doesn't stink but guess what it is STILL CRAP.

The problem with Kimkins is that it is Kimkins. It was based on a lies, deceit and fraud. The "new owner" should not be trusted any more than the old one. Q: What type of person would buy this business? A: Someone who lacks integrity and is of full greed.... hmmm someone like KIMMMER. Fact: There is no safe way to do KIMKINS (remember Kimkins can't be tweaked or it is not Kimkins) other than not doing KIMKINS. By continuing to market as Kimkins, this "new owner" is profiting off the fraud and in my opinion is just as bad if not worse than the original.

Don't drink the KOOLAID just because someone said the flavor has changed! It is still KOOLAID.

P.S. In the end, the "New Owner" will get what she/he/it deserves. When they bought the business they bought the liability. They still have to honor the contracts that Kimmer created. So I hope they put some of that money away because when Heidi Diaz gets sued so will the company.

Gibster, thank-you for mentioning hypothyroidism as a possibility whenever cold intolerance is being discussed, especially in patients who have been following a restricted diet for some time. Easy enough to have checked out.

Kind regards, WL

See I just dont buy it....

They planned in advance, Scammers are really into planning....
She found a nobody, stole and ID and uses it with her Trailer Park Trash dude.

I am telling you.... It's just not right. No Doctor lives in a Mobile Home area! Maybe a nice $500,000- $1,000,000 Home area. Tell me one good Doctor that lives in a mobile Home area....
