The Kimkins Drama

]]> womansworld.jpgYou may remember a post I did around the time I started this blog touting Kimkins as a “miracle diet.” Indeed, you will lose weight fast on Kimkins, named for founder Kimmer, because it cuts out both carbs and fat, leaving you with an essentially all-protein diet. It’s also extremely low-calorie – as low as 300 calories a day.
I did Kimkins myself for a short time and found that it made me physically ill – even to the point of throwing up. All that protein without any fat did not agree with my stomach, and while I lost weight fast, I ended up gaining it back when I reintroduced vegetables and other carbs like certain types of fruit.
Jimmy Moore has a great post today about Woman’s World cover girl Christin, who lost 100 pounds in 5 months on Kimkins. She is now urging people to reconsider the diet after losing hair, her periods, and having a heart scare.
I would personally not recommend Kimkins, because any diet should have adequate amounts of nutrients and contain at least 1200 calories per day to avoid slowing down the metabolism.
