Kimkins
Dangerous Diet Marketed on Fraud Corona

Internet & Web

The truth about Kimkins is still being uncovered, and none of it is good. Here are some of the dimensions of the situation:

1) Fraud
The site was founded by a woman who didn't lose weight on her own diet plan. She used photographs lifted from Russian bride websites. (No, I'm not kidding.) The success stories were fabricated. There is a heavily spun confession to this on a link from her home page, presented there when clips from the deposition for the class action lawsuit was televised.

2) Stolen diet plans
She admitted to stealing the diet plan from Stillman and Atkins, though she did alter the diets significantly to be dangerously unhealthy. The Atkins Center is working on legal action against her. The diet is not low carb, it is low everything. Members are to consume 0-20g carbohydrate (advice is to get as close to 0 as possible, sacrificing vegetables in the process), 40-60g lean protein, with as little fat as you can get away with. Common calorie consumption for diet users is well under 500 calories.

The diet sounds reasonable until you do the math, and until you start hearing the advice to cut intake lower and lower and lower. Details about the diet are not available until after you have paid the non-refundable 'lifetime' fee. Many members have dropped out of the diet after suffering medical complications. Some of their stories are here:

3) Dangerous advice
She coaches people to eat less and less if they aren't achieving turbo weight loss. If they aren't losing fast, she says they don't 'want it bad enough'. If they object to her advice to eat less, she calls them weak. She advises daily use of laxatives, which has dangerous health implications. Sadly, this diet advice is given without medical training and without regard to member health or age. A 14 year old was openly posting on the site, until her parents realized what she was eating. Some of the moderators even abused this teen when she said she needed to start eating more - knowing full well she was only a teen!

As a result of her hazardous advice, many people are developing eating disorder behaviors.

4) Bad business practices
Members who question Kimmer's advice or history are banned without warning or refund. Lifetime membership is very misleading! Posts on the site are heavily censored.

As a result of the fraudulent marketing and bad business practices, there is a pending class action lawsuit. People who were scammed by Kimkins can join the lawsuit. Check here for information:
