Kim Kim 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 Kim Kim 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 Kimkims.com 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 Kimkims.com website.
Let’s hope “Kimmer” gets the diet help she needs…in prison!
And that’s the latest news on the Kim Kim diet.

Thank you for informing those surfing the internet in 2008, that the answers they are looking for are not going to be found at Kimkins.com Any diet that requires one to use very low calories and low fat as the method of weight control is not a safe nor effective way to lose weight.
Wishing you the best in the New Year of 2008!

Menstrual Cessation
Why would anyone want to have a period if that means heavy bleeding, clotting, and pain every month for 30 years? Well, menstruation and painful periods are two different subjects, but marketing is targeting menstruation as a problem in general.

Hello, good and educational article. I need to add a few mentions. If you have high cholesterol, then you may inquire, will a low fat diet low down cholesterol? This is a crucial inquiry, because it is a best known fact that the most effective way to lower cholesterol is straightforward diet. Sure Enough one ingredient of a diet for lowering cholesterol will take represents low in fat. Only this is single part of the report. It is critical to make that it is the saturated fattens that you want to decimate it from the foods you feed.

What have you got to lose? Weight? Mental fog? Try doing the master cleanse – IT WORKS. It works for me and those I know who have done it. And I definitely recommend this book as your companion. If you were to get one book as a guide (and a guide is very necessary your 1st time) get this one! I highly recommend it over the book “Master Cleanser” by Stanley Burroughs. Peter’s book is much more user friendly and easier to understand. Go for it!

This is a great book to read for anyone comtemplating doing the master cleanse. It has great details of Peter’s experiences and also of other people he has led through the cleanse. It also contains typical day to day details and which days are typically the worst to get through! Recomended reading!
