Kimkins Diet Scam – Kimkins founder Heidi Kimberly Diaz, pictured below, is morbidly obese and the Kimkins diet has been revealed as a huge scam.
A class action lawsuit alleging the Kimkins diet scam opens today in a Corona, California courtroom and the shocking photos of “Kimmer” being hugely overweight are only part of the fraud.
The popular Kimkins diet actually harmed the women who followed the supposedly safe 500-calorie a day diet plan promoted by Heidi “Kimmer” Diaz who claimed to weigh just 118 pounds after using her own diet to lose 198 pounds in eleven months.
Here’s the fake “Kimmer” picture used on the Kimkins website:
Kimkins diet followers reported hair loss, menstrual cessation, irregualr heartbeat, fainting spells, and liver damage from the starvation diet scam.
The Kimkins scam took in millions of dollars in membership fees and diet plan sales. Refund requests were ignored and Kimkins members who posted concerns about the health effects of the diet were booted off the Kimkins.com website.
Let’s hope “Kimmer” gets the diet help she needs…in prison!
And that’s the latest news on the Kimkins diet scam.

I believe in the 80/20 rule. Eat healthy 80% of the time and then, when you find something decadent that you really love eat it… BUT don’t do that more than 20% of the time. If it is something that is just in front of you but doesn’t really thrill you, skip it.
