Why the fascination with Kimmer? #17

[Carly07]

Dee have you had a smooch today?

When you eat less than 1200 calories a day your metabolism shuts itself off. Any weight you do lose is minerals and vitamins your body needs to function normally. There is no multi-vitamin pill that can replace the nutrients you get from food.

My average per day was between 800-1,100 calories! I lost my muscle mass. I have an eating disorder because my binging/purging ways were becoming a nightmare that lasted for months.

Lora, I forgot to thank you for the hugs a page or two back. Thank you. Yes, I'm taking both of those supplements.

Dee, if you had been following all the threads for all these months and the challenges, the weed pulling, the aliases... and so on, you'd understand. I'm not being snarky, so please don't take it that way. Believe me, there's reason to question.

I looked at your menu and have a couple quick suggestions.

1) I don't see any cheese...if you like cheese how about adding a little bit. Nothing big...just a couple ounces. Would probably make the salad taste better.
2) Speaking of salad....how about some "real" salad dressing....nothing big...measure it...measure out a serving. Nothing big. nothing that would make you crazy.
3) finally, how about a carb control yogurt as a treat. Again...nothing overwhelming and big.

Just think about it. Maybe add one a day for the next 3 days. Heck, maybe try to have a real nice salad tomorrow with cheese and dressing and a yogurt for desert. Do it your way...but think about it.

Carly...add a little crumbled bacon and some diced boiled eggs to your salad too. Eat dark chicken (legs and thighs) if you like it with the skin left on roasted crunchy. Have some grilled "rubbed" pork ribs w/a little lc sauce.

A new favorite of ours is "loaded broccoli"...we make it at home and ask for it when we go out (Outback is great for this). Steamed broccoli, sour cream, shredded cheese and bacon.

It's hard to wrap your head around, go slow. It works.

sour cream? my head is realing.. i LOVE sour cream.

[Amyb1569]

Carly...
Did you happen to see my post above that I wrote to you? I think we may have somethings in common with food issues etc. I wanted to touch base with you and tell you I know it is not easy.

Do you have a Kroger? Their natural sour cream is additive & filler-free and I think is 1 carb/serving. It's very tasty.

ETA: I just looked it is 1 carb for 2 TBS.

Okay...I will be there soon..

[Carly07]

Amy.. yes I saw it.. no I did not respond yet. Sorry.. I didn't mean for you to think I was ignoring you.

honestly right now I think I am scared of.. too much fat.. too much calories.. too much FOOD. if I eat it I will gain. that is my thought process.

Just because I have these thoughts pop into my head~ Do you think Heidi feels some need to 'punish' people for being overweight? It's been made clear (for over 35 years) that LC diets allow weight loss without feeling deprived, so why the spartan diet? It isn't necessary (or healthy) to cut fats to the bone and it triggers all sorts of eating/malnutrition problems~ so what's the point? Unless someone actually believes you must suffer or pay some sort of penance because you're not 'normal' weight~

anyone have any ideas on this?

I don't mind people telling me to eat more.. I really don't.. but what I am asking is what is your take on what I ate today.

You need to start your day with more protein and fat. I'm not sure what CM is, but it's not enough calories. It looks like something you should be eating or drinking after your workout. Eat the omlette for breakfast and add cheese to it. As others said, have full fat mayo instead of light mayo. The only thing I use light mayo for is making parmesan/artichoke dip. There's so much fat in parmesan cheese, full fat mayo makes it too greasy. Have yourself a nice thick steak cooked on the grill for dinner with a big salad and real salad dressing. The spritzers that Heidi wants people to use have sugar in them.

I think she's sadistic. I'm not being a smart aleck, I really believe she gets off on knowing that people are suffering from her bad advice. I think the woman is truly sick int he head.

I think that Heidi, at one point, believed every word of the different methods she tried - and they all failed her! Now she is cynical unto death, but is pushing a method which, on the surface, makes sense.And if anybody know what the different diets are supposed to accomplish, it's Heidi! After all, it's what the mainstream has been saying during the entire obesity scandal - eat fewer calories and lose weight. Saw an RD ad just today - shave 200 calories off your diet, or exercise more ... I went no further. This dogma is still being parroted by most media. So all she did is take it to extremes, cut the processed stuff (organic, unprocessed are the newest buzz words) and package it with pix of fake successes. Why? For $$$. I don't believe she intended harm in the beginning, but had to stomp hard on questioners. With her clever manipulative tongue, she sought to keep the curtain on Oz pulled shut. But I truly think she does regard damaged dieters who have left Kimkins as the enemy,worthy of all her underhanded weaponry. After all, they threaten the biggest success she has ever had, and the biggest ego trip she's ever been on. JMHO.
