Have you ever heard of the Kimkins diet?

Touted by Women’s World Daily as an awesome way to lose huge amounts of weight, it turns out that this low carb, low calorie “diet” turns out to be the product of a massive amount of, well, untruths. It really brings home how easy it is to be fooled by voices loud enough to drown out sanity.

Do yourself a favor and learn more by reading:

Kimkins ‘Cover Girl’ Passionately Declares Diet ‘Dangerous’ After Health Issues Emerge

Kimkins cover girl: “I was wrong…Kimkins is not the way to lose weight”

It takes a very special person to publicly admit when they were wrong about something even after multiple warnings and concerns shared by those around them. And yet that is exactly what has happened this week when Kimkins Woman’s World cover girl Christin delivered an impassioned video apology at her blog along with a detailed explanation of the health complications she and others have suffered since beginning the risky low-carb imposter diet scheme devised by a morbidly obese woman named Heidi Diaz.

I blogged about my concerns over the Kimkins fiasco that culminated earlier this week when this beautiful young woman had to be rushed to the emergency room because of some pain in her chest and heart complications. When you hear something like this happening that was brought on by such an extreme low-fat/low-calorie diet like Kimkins, it should make you angry. AND I AM ANGRY ABOUT IT!…MORE….

Scary, isn’t it? People are so desperate to lose weight, they’ll risk their health to buy the dreams that the scammers are selling.

Remember! There are no quick fixes to weight loss! Smart, safe get-healthy routines will let you lose between 1/2 a pound to 2 pounds per week (unless you’re on a plateau of course)….it took you years to pile on the weight, and it will require time to shed it all off again.

But the good news is, you CAN do it. I’m living proof.

Enjoy,

Barbara
