Everyone has worked hard but I wanted to say thanks to Darlene because she didn't post her information here and I wanted y'all to know as well.
Great job Darlene and thank you!

Great Job Darlene!!!

Those women may have left the site she got them from, got married or thought better of trying to find a foreign husband. It has been many months since heidi did it.

That page was just modified. Did you notice this (bold mine)
Quote:
Kimkins 90 Day Challenge is a weight loss plan developed by a woman named Kim, as her answer to the Atkins Diet. Apparently, “Kimmer” lost 77 pounds in three months by following this plan. Information about the diet is posted on certain websites by bloggers, and we located a journal entry, but very little information aside from that.
Has kimkins been renamed?

Also, note the change in weigh lose amount & time.


Glad to help, HoneyBee. I've been lurking since about thread 2.

actually that is one of the better anti kimkins sites here is their final section

Final Thoughts
Overall, we have to conclude that we were disappointed with the lack of information we were able to find pertaining to this diet plan. It seemed like a good idea, but we do not know what the creator’s credentials are, how it impacted her overall health, and whether or not it helped others. It appears to be more than five years old, and we would like to see how Kimmer is doing now. Unfortunately, without some solid evidence, we cannot recommend this program for weight loss. Consumers may be better off seeking a dietary supplement to enhance their program.

Well,
I must say that I never expected such a quick and strange response to my postings on kimkins web site.

I only know of Kimkins what I have read from the site itself, as of four days ago. It seems as though it is a carb restrictive plan that is meant to be temporary and allows for unlimited protein....therefore not restricting calories. Seems like a decent plan to me, especially for the morbidly obese. People 50 lbs or more overweight are in a serious, life threatening condition that should be treated with urgency.

Is is what I give my patients, no. I do metabolic typing that is much more specific and personal.

My role, as I see it, in the Kimkins site is not to defend the site or the diet. It is to help people along the path with questions they may have about side effects and implementing "life" into their new program.

Again, I am not aware of the programs past, only the present things I "see" while online. I am in the profession to help as many people as possible and have always been known for that. I have seen Kimkins forum as another means of accomplishing this goal.

I assure you, as with everything else in my career, I will look into the diet more extensively. I will look into the integrity of the organization. I will try to descern if "mistakes" have been made and they are moving forward........Basically, if their heart is in the right place (not talking about anatomically here).

I appreciate your concerns. Please realize that I too, care for my patients, and the weight loss community with all my being. I just want to help people get the answers and results they deserve.

Mark


I think he is sincere, so I replied and implored him to really check out all the links I sent him previously so that he doesn't get caught in the backlash of what is coming.
Terry, This is the same exact reply I got a few days ago. In my email to him I gave him links to blogs and the newscast, othere have done the same. I don't think he is botherng to read them or to become better informed about what he is involved in.

Carolyn, This is a joke, right?

Kimkins Review Blog
I am not sure there is much we can do besides try to bury her blogs by posting on the antikimkins blogs or starting our own like many have in order to keep the kimkin ratings down so those searching for a diet will not find her marketing tools first.
Now the google ad is an odd thing because I thought Google AdWords had removed the kimkins advertising. I know I sent them letters and many others did too when we were targeting the companies running her ads. But that banner and the top of Kimmer's blog, that shows all the fake success stories, has google ad written beside it, but when you click on it the page does not go to google. That is something I think Google should now.

log in and leave a comment run the list of the blogs from the kimkinexposed list and post a comment.

every time you open a kimkins pro blog you up its ranking so stay away from posting them if you can cause everybody reading the topic will open it just to see what it says.

Scamming is a bit like gambling - ya gotta know when to hold them, know when to fold them, and walk away.

While everyone is pecking away at the shell that used to be Kimkins, Kimmer has moved onto her next scam. She's still got to deal with the lawsuit, but that's about it. Any negative press that comes out of the Kimkins camp now isn't going to be about her anymore - she's distanced herself from the whole business and they've distanced themselves from her and her plan. I think that's what she was planning all along.

Unlike milking a cow, when the cream comes in the last few squirts, milking a scam gets the cream in the first gush or two. I think Heidi is gone, I really do.
Oh she might drop in for old times' sake, but probably not. It's not HER THRONE anymore. Whether she planned this far in advance or made her plans as she saw things develop is immaterial. I expected her to cut and run like a sane and logical fraud would have done, ages ago. But maybe attributing normal reactions to Heidi is underestimating her. Sooner or later we'll hear what the Undercover Duck Crew has been sitting on and dying to tell us, but couldn't give away.

click the blogs link in the blue tool bar and then open the one that lists the sites to search and the one with those still to be found and have fun. remember kimmer took pics from their 3rd and 4th pic for the boys so you will need to open any that look like they might be them and see if the pics are on that page. some places run then on the page and other make you open each pic your self. be sure to dump your temporary internet files when you are done

Glad to help, HoneyBee. I've been lurking since about thread 2.
Not renamed I don't think. The 90 day challenge may be new or it may have been a marketing tool Kimmer was doing.
I just got finished downloading Firefox and I LIKE it so far.
I thought I would give it a try because IE has been giving me some grief earlier. I also saw that Oct. 3rd, 2007 date as the last modified date as well.



ETA- Hi there 2big4mysize are you still plugging away trying to find those pics too? You have been so great at continuing the search. Thank you!

OMG, there is a LOT of stuff on this site that's been long since scrubbed off the KK site!! Check this out:

Within the subscription:

* A direct supervision from Kimmer herself
* Sharing thoughts between hundreds of existing members in a nicely set up forum
* The Kimkins E-book
* A self written weight loss log

Cherries If you are lucky enough to have fresh cherries, eating 6-8 cherries daily will relieve the symptoms of gout. This remedy was reported in 1950 by Dr. Ludwig W. Blau who cured his own gout. Frozen and canned cherries may also be used. When you feel an attack coming on, eat 20-30 cherries immediately. Cherries are rich in compounds that prevent the destruction of collagen, which the body uses to form connective tissue. The connective tissue is damaged by gout. Cherries also have an enzyme that neutralizes uric acid and are high in anthocyanins which have high antioxidant properties as well as anti-inflammatory action. For greatest effectiveness eat them between meals.

FITDAY CHERRIES
Cherries, sweet, raw (Queen Anne, Bing) 8 cherries
39cals 9 carbs HALF of your 20 carbs per day

Yes.. but if you plan it correctly you can do it while you : " swap " , " switch " , " go off plan " ..I am having trouble with wording..

Oh wait I remember -- it was the new " TIPSY CYCLE PLAN " ..

Oops.. Did I say Tipsy? -
Well on the cycle plan Tipsy Cake from Cracker Barrel is OTCP
( new acronym : On The Current Plan . )

Whatever..

I am thinking this guy is WAK.


Carry on.. ( dont ya love that phrase )
