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.

- No research or healthcare endoresements
- Plan contradicts sound medical research
- Dangerously low caloric intake
- No exercise
- Suggested to take laxatives regularly
- Creator under investigation for fraud
- Creator does not have any nutrition or medical experience

Additionally, many followers of Kimkins have reported frightening side effects, including:
- Constant nausea
- Hair loss
- Fainting
- Heart palpitations
- Fatigue
- Bone and/or joint pain
- Constipation
- Chest pain

FOOD
The proposed Kimkins diet is made up mainly of lean protein, very little fat or carbs and no fiber. The diet is said to be based on Atkins, but with Kimmer's personal twist. The average user consumes about 600 calories a day; many users admit to only about 300 calories a day.

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

EXPENSE
Kimkins is sold as a $60 lifetime membership.

Kimmer is going to end up in jail. She scammed people out of a collective 2.4 MILLION dollars. There is a deposition online that shows Heidi to be a nearly 300 pound woman that has never lost weight according to members of her family. Kimmer is a fraud and needs to be forced off the internet and into prison. She has caused a lot of health problems for a lot of people. She has no business to give any kind of diet advice.

Do a search of the internet and you will see several sites reporting on this diet scam.
