Heidi Kimberly Diaz created a diet website and charged members for access. A lifetime membership was recently $59.95. She was available to answer questions on the forums and encouraged people who stalled to go lower and lower in calories. Many posts there showed people eating under 400 calories a day. As a weight loss program, it did the job. But many members later had health issues that were serious and could, ultimately, be fatal.

She encouraged daily laxative use. Many people started to have hair loss, heart palpitations, and dizziness. When members started questioning the diet, she banned them from the site, ignoring her lifetime membership pledge.

There were lots of unanswered questions, which she refused to answer. She went under several aliases and continually denied that she was Heidi Diaz. She was known as Kimmer on the Low Carb Friends forums and again at her own website Kimkins.com.

A previous partner of hers hired a P.I., who tracked her down to Heidi's home and took videos of her. She had gotten her members by claiming to have lost 198 lbs in a year and to have kept it off for 5 years. The investigator's videos of her show her to be a morbidly obese woman who had obviously lied about any weightloss. There is now a class action suite against her for her fraulent acts.

Heidi Kimberly Diaz Internet Diet Scam with fake success stories and stolen photos Corona California

AUTHOR: Barbara b - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, December 20, 2007

The Kimkins website displayed a picture of what was claimed to be Heidi Diaz in a red dress, looking at least 20 years younger that Heidi's age. It was not Heidi Diaz at all. It was a photo taken from a Russian mail order bride site. Later it was discovered that most of the 'success' stories on her website were fake and she used pictures from several mail order bride sites to build her phony stories. This self-acclaimed diet guru was really someone who herself was probably at least 350 lbs. Check out the private investigator's picture of her in the white stretch pants. The picture next to that was what she claimed to be her before picture prior to losing 198 lbs. It was all smoke and mirrors -- and plenty of greed and fraud.
