Kimkins.com, is a paid diet website that promotes a plan developed by a woman named Heidi Diaz, who goes by the name of Kimmer on the site. It turns out that most of the marketing information used by Heidi Diaz/Kimmer to get people to join her website is fraudulent.
Kimmer (aka Heidi Diaz) is a morbidly obese woman that claimed to have lost 198 lbsand kept it off for 6 years using her special diet. It turns out that she either had never lost the weightor never kept it off like she claimed (Some Private Investigator pictures of Heidi Diaz are located at
Prior to how the website looks today, Heidi Diaz had a picture that she claimed was her, of a thin, young looking woman in a red dress. She is not the lady in the red dress that was shown but has now been removed
(along with her amazing story) because of all the controversy over it not being her. That picture and the pictures of most of her success stories had been stolen from Russian Dating/Mail Order bride sites. There are a lot of archived versions of her site though, and one just has to look at the archives to see what I am talking about.
She and her diet and diet site were profiled in the magazine Woman's World on June 12. She used a fake name in the article so she would not be traced. Kimkins and Heidi Diaz are now facing a class action lawsuit and Heidi Diaz has had her accounts frozen while the assets are being traced. She made over $1 million dollars the month the magazine article came out.
The diet has turned out to be dangerous and people are getting sick from it. She claimed it was safe because she did it and was in good health. Here is a website that has a good concise explanation of the scandal:
