Inside the Kimkins controversy
A number of blogs and websites have been flooded with Kimkins spam, and ours is no exception. Kimkins, a radical new(ish) weight-loss plan that is being touted as the low-fat answer to Atkin's, is fast becoming one of the most talked-about weight-loss plans, and it's not all good publicity -- in fact, the majority of it is bad. Beside suggestions that the Kimkins program is unhealthy (you're supposed to eat only 600 calories a day,) there's much talk about the program's founder, Kimmers -- also known as Heidi Diaz. Diaz is apparently not 118-lbs as she proudly proclaims, but rather an obese recluse with a knack for scamming. I've been skeptical from the time I first heard about this diet, and frankly, I'm not surprised that this is apparently such a monumental scam.
