Thank you for the heads up on the Kimkins Diet Scam. I hope more folks realize this is a scam and don’t fall for it.
It’s obviously a very dangerous diet and the diet creator has apparently been telling tall tales. She claims to have lost 198 lbs. in 11 months and maintained that loss for 5+ years, but when she was caught by the PI, she obviously hasn’t lost weight, she gained weight and is well over 300 lbs.
I also saw that there is a class action lawsuit in the works. Be sure to check out the website:

If you have been a victim of the Kimkins Scam, be sure to join the lawsuit.
For more information on this scam, see what the about.com site has to say:

This is definitely a scam to avoid.
Thanks again for the tip!
