Kimkins.com is a diet advice website that charges for membership, which is supposedly a "lifetime". More about that later. It is owned and operated by Heidi Diaz, who uses the on screen persona "Kimmer". She claimed to have lost 198 pounds and kept it off for 5 years. She posted a picture of a beautiful woman in a patio chair and claimed it was her.

Later, she posted another beautiful picture of a gorgeous woman in a red dress and again claimed it was her. She handed out inept diet advice, and her mantra was to cut the calories. She told people repeatedly they were not at risk for starvation if they had body fat. People drove their calorie levels lower and lower in response to this inept advice. People developed hair loss, dizziness, fainting, anorexia, and heart complications. People became more and more curious about who this Kimmer person really was. She claimed to know a lot about nutrition, but really knew nothing. Out concern and curiosity, a former employee hired a private investigator.

Through that action Heidi Diaz was discovered to be a 300+ pound person. Following that revelation, a civil lawsuit was filed against her by people she had defrauded into believing she was a svelte size 6 and had the knowledge to help others lose weight. In fact, she never lost the weight. In addition, she wrote fake "success stories" about fictional people who lost weight using her plan.

This was posted prominently in her website and was done to draw in new members. She fraudulently posted pictures taken from the internet to represent the before and after pictures of the fictional people. Are you getting the idea that this woman took great care to deceive people? She did, and the story gets better from here. She had an article written about her in Woman's World Magazine and sent them a fake picture (again taken from the internet) to represent her image. The fraud goes on and on. Bottom line is, Heidi Diaz is a fraud and she knows it.

Now let's get back to that "lifetime" membership. What Heidi Diaz does not tell you is that SHE determines how long your lifetime is. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of members have been banned from the website without cause and without remedy. I am being denied access to the website on her whim, not through any fault of my own. Please help us get the word out about this dangerous eating plan that is all based on fraud.
