Why kk is so bad:
(My minor contribution to the cause)

THYROID WEIGHT RESEARCH

http://www.hormoneandlongevitycenter...n_Obesity1.pdf

Effect of a high-protein, very-low-calorie diet on...[Am J Clin Nutr. 1987] - PubMed Result

Resting metabolic rate, body composition and thyroid hormones. Short term effects of very low calorie diet.

Energy-metabolism adaptation in obese adults on a very-low-calorie diet -- Fricker et al. 53 (4): 826 -- American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

index

Low Carbohydrate Nutrition: Research on the Safety of Very Low Calorie Diets
This one mentions kk!

Maybe someone can pass this info to the starving women.

Lora, gullible and negative publicity don't belong in the same sentence. Those who joined knowing the dangers after seeing the KTLA news stories don't need either our concern nor our action. They chose their course deliberately. It's the ones who had no prior warning that we should be concerned with.

I don't see why that hurt the CAL ..... Hey Jeanessa - what do you think? It's been on TV in Calif. - the Mike and Juliet show, etc. What's one more show?

By the way I forgot to say

Thank you! By the way, the ladies I had mentioned who joined Kimkins was before October 15, 2007. They can join in the class action lawsuit after all if they choose. Should I direct them to Mr. Tiedt or can they contact their own attorney's??

Didn't lots of those who joined initally, before the WW article, also have warning, though, right here on LCF? People make their decisions emotionally most of the time. It is very hard to ignore and brush off all those supposed people who are supposedly losing all that weight so fast. Which of us here - all of whom, I imagine, have or do struggle with our weight - haven't dreamt of finding THE plan that would do just what KK claims to do?

To turn our backs on folks and tell them they aren't worthy of our concern is, IMO, harsh at the least.

I agree with you often, SMP, but just can't get my mind around to your way of thinking on this one.

Send them here - it will give them all the information:

Kimkinslawsuit’s Weblog

Also, be sure to have them file a complaint with the FBI Internet Fraud Division (I3C). You can find that link on Medusa's blog here:

We need to do more than just sue her, we need to get this information to the right people so she will be charged criminally and shut down.

Also, have them look through their email address books and see if they have contact info for other friends they made there and be sure THEY know what is going on. Lots of people joined and then left if they found the program too restrictive. They deserve to get their money back, too!

Wasn't that incredible??? Our ducks are the best..One gal saw the pictures and thought they looked "foreign" so someone (can't member) thought to check out some sites..they discovered guys/gals, etc..and FINALLY The Lady in the Red Dress..It was another great day..

I'm printing out that article by Dr. Barnett..(whoever he is)..It's a great synopsis of the lawsuit.. The evidence is all there..It should be a slamdunk..

RE: The Russian Brides. I also seem to remember somewhere in that humongous monstrosity called the original fascination thread that someone suggested foreign bride sites I think while the searching Jupiter madness was happening... to have it picked back up and then brought to such amazing fruition... FANTASTIC.

I'm glad someone else reading back over all that has the same sort of 'edge-of-one's-seat' excitement we had during the Great Uncovering.

I believe it was the gal who goes by the name of "Cilantro" over at Jimmy's who first started the hunt on the Russian brides sites. I think she's also a member here, but has a different screen name.


to all the new faces!
