Kimkins, or the Kimkins diet has been shown up to be just another scam on the unsuspecting.
Heidi "Kimmer" Diaz, the founder of the Kimkin’s diet – a low carb, low
calorie diet – is schedule to appear in a Southern California court on
Monday, November 12th, 2007. 11 former users of her Kimkins diet
program filed a complaint against her one week ago, claiming fraud,
false advertising, and unjust enrichment.
The Kimkin’s scandal began when Woman’s World, a popular women’s magazine featured an article on the Kimkin’s diet.
Ms Diaz, who was claiming to have lost
198 pounds in 11 months using her diet plan, refused to meet with the
magazine in person, instead corresponding through email. She went so
far as to send the magazine before and after pictures that looked
nothing alike, which makes sense when people found out that the before
pictures were Ms. Diaz, however the after pictures were taken from a
Russian ‘mail-order’ bride web site.
The kimkins diet advised eating just 500 calories a day. That less than concentration camp victims were getting:
Kimkins diet followers reported hair loss, menstrual cessation,
irregualr heartbeat, fainting spells, and liver damage from the
starvation diet scam.
No damn wonder! Let’s hope she’s jailed where she can get a decent diet!
