I've seen so many of these---they are running together----if you will leave a comment on that post which are duplicates and which have gone poof, I will be happy to remove them.

I will be adding to this as we find more article sites.

Well, someone did. I just happened to see it.

And you never know what a site owner will do until you ask them. I would think that these little "fly-by-night" junk sites are either pretty much abandoned and unattended to, or wouldn't want to be involved with ANYTHING having to do with a lawsuit. Some are indeed overseas, so they don't really give a care, as long as they keep getting their affiliate funds (which I can't understand how they are still getting).

Ok, cool!

I have a little time off today, so I'll do what I can.
This is kinda fun. I used to do this sort of chase thing with the 419 scammers (Nigerian advance fee frauds). If we don't get a response, perhaps we can pursue their site providers?

Dunno. Some of these are tough nuts.

And I'm still waiting with bated breath for John T. to release what he can from Heidi's 2nd deposition w/o giving away the show. Another photo up close would be cool as well. See, Heidi, a lot of people DO care what happens to you. And you felt so alone!

Thanks for reminding me. Something about Heidi to look forward to.

Same here. More fuel to the fire, and more evidence to hand to the affiliates (and their webhosts, if need be).

Please be patient with John, he is very busy with Kimkins related matters and such right now, so I wouldn't anticipate hearing anything from him until sometime next week.

Some of these websites don't even have a TOS. We'd almost be further ahead to write our own articles and submit them, because there will be no removing what's already been submitted.

so please keep on fighting the forest fire of the kimpire.

That's really encouraging! Thanks! Please, everyone, visit the blogs often and be sure to leave comments. It really helps keep us going.

It is basically a ZERO fat, ZERO carb, protein-only diet that is causing some really dangerous health complications to happen in the desperate and unsuspecting dieters who try it. The calorie intake of the people following this plan as Diaz, who is neither a doctor nor a nutritionist, wrote it out is around 500 a day. Yikes! This diet is nothing more than a one-way ticket to anorexia and death due to malnutrition. I suppose people are so desperate for weight loss that they'll even try something this drastic to see if it will work for them. It's a sad day in our society when people are more concerned about weight loss than they are about improving their health. The latter is worth so much more to your body long-term which is why I emphasize that fact more and more in all that I do. National television exposure of the fraud as well as an ongoing class action lawsuit against Diaz will eventually come to a head and hopefully bring this diet imposter down for good. For the sake of the tens of thousands of people who got sucked in by this scheme, I can only hope that day will be sooner rather than later.

Mr. Low Body Fat's Blog: Interview with Jimmy "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb" Moore


That's some mighty clear hindsight!

I wonder what he did with the money he made saying we were all haters for trying tell him this, while he led people there in droves?

M&J Show is doing another diet segment tomorrow "Miracle Diets...Do They Really Work?"...it would be nice if they mentioned KK again but I doubt it. Maybe we should email them and tell them to include it, lol.

we've been successful in the past getting sites with no TOS to pull them..

just use some "gentle nudging" like reminding them they do not want to be part of/held accountable for perpetrating an internet crime along with the affiliates writing the articles

I think some of these companies have a conscious and don't want to be part of, or support, a scam...they just need it brought to their attention.

Frankly, I don't think that's such a good idea. While the M&J Show did their best to debunk KK, they still flashed before/after pics of Kristin, Deni and even TT - I think that had the opposite effect.

It's true that some people want to believe they can have those results. However, thinking people aren't going to want to be on a plan that the "nutritionalist" and Doctor had such bad things to say about. There will always be those who are drawn to train wreck plans, but I don't think they are in the majority.
