Teachers Use Kimkins Diet to Literally Lose a Ton
Kimkins Teachers Weight Loss Challenge Group demonstrates the value of an incredible support
system by losing a combined total of 1903 pounds in only 10 weeks.
Corona, CA, September 18, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The Kimkins Weight Loss Teachers Challenge group set
out this summer with an impressive goal to lose 2000 pounds -- one ton -- during their summer break.
One of the larger weight loss challenge groups with approximately 82 members, the Teachers Challenge
required members to lose an average of 25 pounds each in a 10 week period.
At the 5 week mark these teachers supported each other to an impressive combined loss total of 907
pounds. “… Even I am flabbergasted at the incredible success of the Kimkins Teacher's Challenge!
Teachers from everywhere banded together and challenged each other to maximum weight loss …”
exclaimed Kimkins founder, Kimmer, after receiving word of the report.
At the conclusion of their challenge on August 18, 2007, these teachers reported an extraordinary total
loss of 1903.1 pounds. Some participants lost more than 60 pounds each.
Kimkins business director, Amanda Holbrook, adds, “We are so proud of our teachers. They are a true
picture of determination and perseverance. Teachers are touching the young minds of tomorrow and we
are both excited and honored that they found such encouragement through the Kimkins program and its
members.”
"Rita, a teacher who dropped from 175 to 134 pounds during the 10 week challenge, is a perfect example
of how important a peer support system is to successful weight loss," added Amanda.
Many teachers continued their weight challenge network after the ending date and exceeded the original
2000 pound goal.
The Kimkins Weight Challenge Groups are the backbone of the support that is found within the Kimkins
program. At last count, there are over 200 individualized Challenge Groups. Each group is its own
community and gives members the opportunity to find others whom they have commonality with.
“Without our challenge groups, we would be just another diet program,” states Holbrook. “Our members
make all the difference.”
Kimkins is an internet based low carb membership weight loss plan which has grown to nearly 40,000
paid members since the website launched in April 2006.

Amanda Holbrook is another one of Kimmer's pseudo names. She "published" as the PR director of Kimkins after Christin left... with Christin's submitted article.... she is not a real person. (if she is a real person.. my apologies.. because Heidi Diaz has stolen your name to use it on her own.)

the abovepress release was written by Christin, and Heidi Diaz used it under this false name... even "quoted" by this false name... for something that Christin actually wrote and said herself right before leaving Kimkins.

SO my theory or observation stated in the form of a question (honor of Ketosis )- IF her sons didn't truly know about Kimkins then how the heck did they know how to answer the phone? I mean if you get a call for a plumber named Dennis that is a big difference than a call for Amanda with Kimkins!



ETA- Oops y'all were on the same track too.

Yes, I speculated about that a while ago that she may be a real person and Heidi simply borrowed her name.

Tastefully Simple

That's why the name sounded familiar when I saw it come up as a match to Sharp Plumbing's phone number.

Thanks everyone.

I have always thought her kids were envolved too...but knowing how people like her use even their dog and cat's names for credit, etc., I could be wrong (at least about Dennis...not Brandon). I think Brandon's hands are just as dirty as H's!

It's rather like a snowball rolling down the hill...
And how many of us are there??
How many minutes of time does it take to post a rebuttal on each and every site? Not long.

Do one blanket well-thought out post. Save it in Notepad. Cut and paste it to every Pro-Kimkins article you run across. Takes SECONDS, and may save a life. It will most certainly stop a few unsuspecting people from further enriching that lying scammer.

We can make a huge difference if we keep on fighting! Remember, Hidey spends 8-10 hours a day promoting her lies. All of us together can counteract it if we work together and stay committed!

That is so sad, but I think it happens alot. I'm sure we will continue to see
sick KKites. Hopefully, no one has died from the plan, but you never know.

Kimmer thinks that if you still have fat on your body, you don't need to eat..
What an idiot..and those poor people believe her!!!

No.

She ignores them. There are many, many "I'm dizzy" posts on Kimkins. All anyone ever says is, "Gee I hope you feel better soon" yada yada.

From Trippy's rebuttal at Diets Review:

"We do not promote starvation of any kind and we never will. We encourage members to stick within the plan guidelines and further, we encourage them to add extra protein and possibly extra salads if they are still hungry or not feeling well."
I've gotten pretty adept at spotting the weasel here (and this reply was most certainly coached in its exact form by Heidi). "We DO not..." Of course not! After the steam cleaning and frantic deletions, and the alternating with Atkins, newbies would have a hard time ever finding a post where they DID promote starvation on Kimkins, right?
"And we never will." Future tense. All this means is - we got caught promoting anorexic thinking; so next time we'll be smarter and not say it openly -from this time forward. Too bad it's Kimkins' history and not present and future that is the basis for the lawsuit.

Yes, but we all know Kimmer can't last with that advice...she will sooner or later slip into her old ways...
