		<description>"There?s a new diet in town..."  If you're talking about the Magic Chicken Diet, there's nothing new about it -- it's basically a starvation diet, and hey, people have been starving for countless eons.   

Even the Magic Chicken Diet website isn't new -- it's an attempt to create "a clone of Kimkins.com" (and that's a direct quote from the Magic Chicken Diet website owner, in a help wanted ad posted at getafreelancer.com).

If you want to see actual photos of Heidi Diaz, a.k.a. 
"The Kimmer" (the "creator" of the Kimkins Diet), contact the office of attorney John Tiedt, who is spearheading the class action lawsuit on behalf of nearly forty thousand people who were ripped off by Ms. Diaz's scam.   The videotape of Ms. Diaz's deposition shows what you, too, can look like, if you follow the Kimkins Diet.

And if you want to see actual photos of Bonnie Luper, a.k.a. "Chicken Lady" (the "creator" of the Magic Chicken Diet"), be sure to check out magicchickendiet.net and magicchickendiet.com.  The photos of Ms. Luper's "weightloss journey" show what you, too, can look like, if you follow the Magic Chicken Diet.  

Ms. Diaz got rich teaching people how to starve themselves -- Ms. Luper seems to have been trying to do the same thing. 

But unlike Ms. Diaz, Ms. Luper is not a fraud -- she actually did manage to starve herself out of obesity.  Whether she will be able to maintain that weightloss without also starving herself into an early grave or suffering the medical problems reported by the Kimkins survivors, time alone will tell.</description>

		<description>Sorry, the link didn't work: http://mariasol-mariasol.blogspot.com/2008/02/magically-crazy-chicken.html

This menu is also based on canned food which I personally avoid, especially when dieting. Surely there is a lot better nutrition in fresh foods, not to mention better taste.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the link!
I agree that chicken is a great food, not only when trying to lose weight. The problem I have with the Magic Chicken Diet is the very low calories that result from following the suggested menus. And this is not a 48 hour diet. The founder was on it for 10 months, and no doubt still eat starvation level calories to be able to maintain her weight loss.
For an example of a menu for this diet, see this post:
&lt;a&gt;Magic Chicken Diet&lt;/a&gt;</description>
