Perfect!

Has he announced anything yet?

Not yet - unless it was the changes to his moderation policy.. which.. isn't exactly a big announcement.

Surely he wouldn't have started a big announcement buzz over something as unworthy as that, just to generate hits, would he?

YES!!!!!!!!

My faith in Jimmy is restored. I could not have hoped for better.

I knew I liked him and I was very upset by the recent Kimkins posts and all.. and I'm so ready to go back to the FUN Jimmy Moore and my communications with him and his blog.

I don't doubt that this latest apology is sincere, it really speaks volumes and I'm very excited

BRAVO JIMMY!!!!!

Dang. I'm actually choked up.

Bless you, Jimmy. Wow. I am so seriously impressed.

(We need a hail smiley! )

Oddly, so am I.. The last few days have been so emotional in this issue.. especially today with the lengthy and often hurtful comments on the podcast site.

I'd really like to give Jimmy a hug

Glad to see this!

Wow!!!!

Jimmy, good luck getting the last few pounds off by your plan-with-no-name. You can do it!

From his post:

You will notice that I have removed the banners promoting the Kimkins diet today as a matter of conscience. In the last week I have realized that I cannot try to "educate, encourage and inspire" my readers if I am associated with Kimkins, a web site promoting some plans which may indeed be unhealthy if followed over the long-term.

My focus has been on the best of the five plans (K/E) and I cannot say they're all sound and healthy ways to lose weight on your own. Because of this, I cannot encourage my readers to join the site knowing they may wind up following a plan that may do more harm than good in the long-term. Be smart about any diet plan you go on.

Let me also state clearly that I believe it is extremely important for people to research any diet before they begin and even talk with your doctor about not just the short-term impact, but also the long-term effects and potential health risks you may face.

While many believed I was making great big bundles of money from my affiliate relationship with Kimkins, let me just say that no amount of money is worth losing sight of the bigger picture to educate my readers with quality information, encourage them to find a way of eating to help them regain their health while losing weight, and inspire them to be their best while going through this process.

While I still believe it is possible to tweak things within some plans promoted by Kimkins, I also realize that this is strongly discouraged on the plan. If something is not working, then it's easy to say you're not working the plan. But, then again, as many of us know it's in the little bit of tweaking that we find our strength and confidence to make the diet our own over the long-term. That's what I did after Atkins, although I am sure the late great Dr. Robert C. Atkins would not object.

With that understanding now, I'm left questioning what I am really doing here and why I felt compelled to start making changes in my diet in the first place. I now realize I find myself exactly where many other low-carbers land when they lose weight with a low-carb diet--a place where I am comfortable making modifications that make low-carb work for me over the long-term!

He got it. Finally. WTG, Jimmy.

He even removed that January post where he raged against the "other" forum!

Here is what is in it's place now:

Post Removed For Not Promoting Low-Carb Community
The post that appeared here has been removed for not promoting the low-carb community in the professional manner I have come to expect from myself. THANK YOU!

Hurray! Our friend is back!

Okay, I went and read his latest post, and I'll start reading his blog again. But he's going to live to live up to this mea culpa to keep me coming back.
Nyah Levi

he's definitely in need of "community"....regina, you're pretty close to him, why don't you invite him to this site?
