Kimkins diet scam - resources, links and reviews
Morning,
It appears that the Kimkins diet scam is yet again in the news. From Carb Wire:
…. As I shared with you last week, ABC News has been very interested in doing a story on the Kimkins diet scam that has fooled tens of thousands of people into falling prey to an unsafe and potentially dangerous anorexic nutritional scheme while lining the pockets of a morbidly obese woman named Heidi Diaz with millions of dollars. They are looking for people who have been harmed by Kimkins to appear on camera as part of their investigation. If you have a story you’d like to share with them, then please use this contact form to send the details of your experience to an ABC News producer.
In the meantime, the Kimkins diet scandal was exposed to a nationwide audience on Sunday morning when ABC-TV aired a segment about it on the weekend edition of their popular television news magazine “Good Morning America.”….MORE….
This scam is truly a shame in so many ways - it’s damaged the lives of countless people who were seduced into buying into the dream of a quick fix. 
Here are more resources to help you learn about it:

I hope this person gets the book thrown at her and is put away for a long, long LONG time. What she did was despicable.
Hope this is helpful,
Barbara

Thanks for warning people away from the dangerous Kimkins diet! The lawsuit is moving forward and it sounds like there is a lot of evidence compiled from the depositions!
