What is Kimkins? Who is Kimmer?

[Dolphin]

I heard that Kimmer started here at ADBB and modified her program, is this true? I've never heard of the Kimkins diet before now.
Thanks

Well, it is basically an ATkins diet but she does low fat. She charges people a basic fee (once off) of $29.95 for support. If it works for people, so be it. She HAS lost 200 lbs and appears to eat healthily. She says the high fat part of the low carb regime did not agree with her so she tried it with low fat and it worked. I don't have a problem with her making a few bucks from it if people are silly enough to pay for what they can get for free here.

She started off here. She gave advice and help for free, for a long time. It then became too overwhelming and she started her own forum where she gives personal coaching. Even if I don't agree with her method, I do think she has a big big heart, she deserves the 30 dollars lifetime membership fee to run the boards.

Dr. Atkins had a big, big, healthy heart and only charged $6 for his book!

Maybe her diet works..maybe it doesnt: but we do know the atkins diet does, and I think you're going to get far more advice and support from this site. So why not donate your $ here? From what I can tell she is not a Dr. i'm not sosure i'd follow a diet plan from someone without a medical background.

AMEN! $30 to ADBB would be wonderful! Consider it the gift that keeps on giving!

Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way about her plan.

Re: What is Kimkins? Who is Kimmer?

Guys first off she is doing this as a result of all the newbies flocking to her asking for personel lessons in how to lose weight like she did.It can be overwhelming the amount of PMs and emails folk wanting it yesterday will send asking the same question over and over teach me how. I know Brook and I, and I'd bet Kent and TTDriver get PMs as well as other big losers and if you list your email them too asking for personel lessons on how to do Atkins. I know Brook set up her melting site to help folk for free. I just tell them to read the book, post questions on the board, and join our 14 day induction form, exercise challenges, and (for commandercuppycake ) start a chat journal so they can get lots of support and help. Serveral folk have proposed over the yrs starting a for fee site but for me it is about paying forward the debt I owe the low carbers who came before me and blazed the trail sharing their knowledge and support of how to do it right. Kimmer started out doing that too and was breifly a memeber here in 2003.Somewhere along the line she decided her time was more valuble and set up her for pay program.
while none of us since we are well educated Atkineers would use it it could help some others get a start.
