Kimkins - Heidi Diaz Kimkins Diet Scam - Founder Heidi Diaz never lost weight, used fake before/after pictures, class action suit, Members reporting major health issues including hairloss, fatique, heart palpatations/damage, dizziness, fainting, pushes laxitives and eating 300 calories a day Corona Internet
Kimmer, the founder of the "Kimkins diet" said she had been an obese 300 pounds and like so many others, struggled to find a diet that worked for her. So she created her own solution- a low-carb/low-calorie diet that she says works incredibly fast. Not only would Kimkins help you lose weight quickly (198 pounds in one year in her case), but the plan would set you up for success for life. Kimkins also excitedly promotes that you won't have to do a single stretch, sprint or sit-up as exercise isn't necessary to achieve these amazing results.
Unfortunately, none of it is true. Kimkins is being investigated for fraud after many customers became seriously ill. Kimkins is an excruciatingly low-calorie diet and none of the information presented as fact as any medical or scientific support. Kimmer herself does not have a nutritional background and her advice is strictly from what appears to be fake experiences.
PRO
- None to speak of
CON
There is a laundry list of reasons why you should not follow the Kimkins diet. Currently the creator, Heidi Diaz, who operates under the alias Kimmer, is the subject of a class-action lawsuit and in a deposition admitted to fraud. Many of the Kimkins customers are becoming dangerously sick from following the Kimkins program. While Kimmer markets the diet as being a quick solution that will last for life, and losing 200 pounds in one year herself, she currently is morbidly obese- not at all what her ads claim.

Kimkins advertises that you will not need any exercise to achieve your desired goals.
