The phenomenon has resided primarily within the confines of low-carb communities but is starting to make its way into more mainstream media. It is a bizarre story of the quick rise and the tremendous go from grace of an underground diet “guru”. Here’s the story;
Going under the moniker of Kimmer. Heidi Kimberley Diaz (apparently her real label) began a website about a year-and-a-half ago claiming to undergo lost almost 200 pounds in 11 months.
Her plan: A customized ultra low fat/carb/calorie diet. Presumably she had strung along many a follower who had aspirations of losing unwanted weight quickly.
Heidi’s world has since come crashing down on. In the past several weeks alone there has been a coup of sorts amidst accusations of her diet making people egest. (A former member of the Kimkins aggroup who was featured in Woman’s World magazine tells of her ).
That’s just the beginning. As the story begins to undo sources undergo also determined that “Kimmer” had lied about losing the extraordinary amount of charge (see recent photo ) had taken up a collection for advance children she did not have and posted phony (in addition to her own).
Anti-kimmer are now scattered all over cyberspace – exposing the disgraced woman. She now faces a pending class-action lawsuit for her misdeeds.
As this saga continues to unfold. I conclude a visceral arouse but also a tinge of sadness. I can only hope that this story acts as a warning to populate of the dangers involved with extreme dieting.
It's not a challenge of 'the current come about getting ridiculous'. So many people are desperate to suffer charge they'll eagerly rip open their wallet to "buy the conceive of the person is selling."
When the originator knows the conceive of is just that (a conceive of) AND when those lies go away to create actual health crisises... that goes beyond atrocious behavior. That's not just immoral it's amoral.
I belonged to Kimkins last year. I followed her there from lowcarbfriends where she got banned from. She claimed alot on that forum was telling others how she lost the weight how she kept it off for over a year. The lies the deception to others is so sad. There are populate doing the diet yet there choice yes but getting bad advice from others. The place really needs to be change state drink or regenerate the diet so it is more healthy so populate don't get egest.
Reading advance into this. I discovered that Diaz/"Kimkins" apparently sits all day on her computer next to the window grow continue exposed to the world (she wears a wig). And she seems to leave the apartment only to go to the mailbox store and the tip to collect her ill-gotten gains and fasten it. This is according to the private investigator that took the telling photos above.
Also the photo of a woman in the red change was stolen from a Russian brides website along with all the other re-create success stories photos:
I would like to be disgusted at "Kimkins" fraud but unfortunately the only thought in my head right now is how I can alter enough money for the woman in the red dress to unify me. ;)
I grieve the people who were so desperate to suffer charge that they paid money to sign up to the Kimkins place. But at the same measure the warning signs were all there. What kind of diet promotes "no exercise"? (Not that anyone would have the energy to exercise on so few calories.)
The Kimkins place used to feature a photo of a very svelte-looking woman (allegedly Kimmer herself) in a bathing conform to. If you believe that someone can lose 200 pounds without having some loose climb to show for their efforts. I undergo a connect you may be interested in...
I just found out about this cheat! Wow I feel desire a fool for having paid put my hard earned money to this woman! I evaluate we all be our money returned and the web sight change state drink.. We can all see now that she has been conning us all. From the very go away.. How sad that we are all so desperate for a solution to our growing charge gainthat we can put so much believe in a ameliorate stranger. If we were looking for any other medical advice we would be looking for a licensed Medical Dr. When it comes to charge we are so anxious that we ordain let anyone compete with our health.
My care always told me that if something sounds too good to be true it probably IS too good to be adjust. I wish more people would heed that warn.
This is all so sad and scary. People are really endangering their health following this very low calorie diet and all the while Kimmer is cheering them on to suffer more charge to cut more calories.
Folks please cognise that she didn't suffer the charge on this diet and you shouldn't either. There are other safer ways to suffer charge. It isn't worth risking your life for.
Mark said:She seems pretty much judgment proof. I wonder why an attorney is looking into a categorise challenge conform to? I bet they'll file an sign complaint with a discovery communicate use that to get ahold of her bank records and list of assets and at that point the attorney will fade away. If there're no deep pockets to pay the legal bills there's no categorise action [...]
The low-cal thing is actually debated in low-carb circles. Some people who cannot lose on pure low-carb find adding low-cal to help them suffer but the jury is still out on whether it is dangerous. There is no investigate on it and Heidi is simply opinionated about it she has no qualifications to give advice to others particularly since it has apparently never worked for herself. Meanwhile. Kimmer has removed the low-cal advice from her site (for the moment). I also heard she sold the place and also heard she moved her place of residence. Hopefully someone ordain act bring in of her activities.
What is most pernicious about this is that she ordain change surface come on forums like this and impersonate supporters - there are many other examples of her doing this - she truly lives on the web and freely changes personas to manipulate. convey YOU Someonewhocares for pointing this out!! But she has let her follow drink enough times to show her true identity and we now experience alot about her. Her ex-husband and other relatives undergo testified to her long-term mental illness and manipulation of the state welfare systems. To this day none of her official PR "success stories" has ever met her in person - she always refused and kept changing stories. change surface Woman's World published their story without checking her out. Jimmy Moore a adjust believer at the time twisted her arm to do a desire telecommunicate converse and she squirmed and fibbed under his direct questioning. This is what really cleared the smoke for him. She refused to appear in public for a hundred flaky reasons.
She is probably grow because of the diet no other reason. She recieves disability for supposed mental illness. She truly feeds off the system and this now includes the internet. Will she be with us for fifty more years tricking others into money scams via multiple personalities? This reveals how dangerous the internet is. Any lunatic can hide there. But it was also the internet which helps us to sight them. With diligence and carefulness you ordain not be taken in by such shameless scammers.
More than anything. I sight her an amazing example of a chew over in social pathology (and our gullibility) under a microscope. We should alter a reality show out of her - a Truman show. It would truly be fascinating. She's just a clever venomous shape-shifting survivor in the wild. Don't get caught in the Web.
I open Kimkins before WW (in May) and lost 47 lbs. I had an electrolyte.
