The Sleuth Behind the KimKin Diet
If you haven’t heard about the KimKin diet, don’t worry, you haven’t missed a thing. Unlike other diets, this diet has a plot that thickens everyday. It has sparked so much interest in the media that you wonder what will happen next to these dieters.
The story goes like this. A woman by the name of Heidi Miller Diaz claimed to have dropped 198 lbs. within a given year. She then proceeded to start a web site soliciting members for a lifetime fee of $59.95 that if they followed her instructions, they could lose weight without exercising.
Countless victims, especially those who were desperate to lose weight saw inspiration in Diaz. They figured that if Diaz could achieve a nice figure, they could too. Many poured “hope” money in but what they soon learned was a surprise:
1) The Kimkin diet was (is) UNSAFE. Fainting, hair loss, heart palpitations, and loss of menstrual cycle were some of the health issues encountered with this diet.

2) A private investigator discovered her not to be a woman dressed in the red dress but of a woman still struggling with her weight issue.

3) The woman in the sexy red dress turned out to be a Russian mail order bride.

Weird. I am happy Buddyslim is a healthy site.

Yes I have heard of this low carb diet. I was first made aware of this from a fellow buddy here on buddyslim. She was doing this diet and was on a very very low amount of calorie and carb daily intake. At the time I knew this was not safe and warned her to becareful. She seemed to like the rapid weight loss she was seeing. I don’t know what ever happened with her, she is no longer on buddyslim, well I can’t see to find her. I hope she’s okay.
How much more evidence do we need to prove that their are NO short cuts to losing weight?? There are so many diets out there, but only ONE that really works. A balanced diet, with tons of vegies, fruits, and some dairy, whole grains, lean meats, poltry and fish, even an occasional sugar and fat here and there. All about moderate portions. This combined with activities will naturally return your body to it’s healthy size and wieght. Sure it might seem like it takes forever and a day, but hey…. your body is not being deprieved, your heart isn’t dying, and your not killing your organs. And guess what, your actually eating food you like!!!
Please, lets all love our bodies engough to give it a chance to return to a more healthy state without starving and depriving it of well needed nutrients. Be active and you will get there.
