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.

It seems like everyone and their dog has come up with some new fabulous way to lose weight. Here's another prime example: Kimkins. It's described as Atkins but low-fat. It was developed by a woman named Kimmer who lost 118 lbs in 11 months by following the eating plan she suggests.

It sounds viable but to be honest, I wouldn't give them my money because of their website. They have a link that says '10 Reasons to Join'. I clicked on it and it asks for my Email address, which I gave, but then I got an Email saying the I would be Emailed the 10 Reasons, one a day, and I haven't received them yet. I get that it was just a ploy to get my Email address, but why make a potential customer go through hoops just to find out why they should join? It seems a bit sketchy to me.

I'm curious to know -- have you tried Kimkins or a variant? Were you craving carbs like crazy?
