Well, I can't speak for anyone else but myself, but I am certainly not jealous of anyone who has lost weight on Kimkins, and I think that Jimmy is very immature to post such a statement on his well-known blog.

speaking of questionable maturity...there certainly seem to be some "over the top" reactions to some of the comments readers left him.

You mean like where he calls someone a "pimp"?

Hard to believe Jimmy graduated from a fundamental Christian college.

I am afraid that Jimmy is rapidly destroying both his reputation as a low carb advocate and educator as well as the good-will he had built in the low carb community.

among other things...yes.

yes, there does seem to be a decline in respect for him lately, from what i'm seeing others post here and elsewhere. it'll be interesting to see how it all turns out in the end (whenever that might be, if there is such a time.)

To be honest, I've never been a fan of Jimmy Moore.

Actually, given Jimmy's self-righteous tone, it's easy to believe.

I can't believe Jimmy would say this, but he did.

Forget the picture of Jimmy drooling chocolate. He is now FOAMING AT THE MOUTH!

Have I got this wrong but it seems that Kimkins is a low fat/ high protein/ low carb plan is it not? I was lead to understand that high protein with low fat is bad for you - anyone heard of rabbit starvation? I always thought the fat had to outnumber the protein to give us the right amount of energy and to prevent gluconeogenesis from protein leading to bad products (can't remember their names) in the kidneys and liver.

I think one commenter from amazon.com pretty much summed up our friend Jimmy, when he called him "The Jared of Low Carb" and added this to his review:

"'[This] man in the suit has just bought a new car with the profit he's made on your dreams'" [quote from
Jimmy's book]
"A little less angst and less pride and this author may gain worldy respect. Mr. Moore sort of reminds me of Bill O'Reilly."

Again, while I like the big huggable guy, I just hate the decisions he's made because he has such a wide readership that really listens to this guy as if he's a weight loss guru. So, with him flip-flopping between diet plans, sending out pixs with chocolate dribblin' down his lips causes more people confusion about which path to take. Is it Atkins? Kimkims? Something in the middle? Poor readers . . .

I think the only common denomenator is Jimmy Moore himself. When I first began reading his blog last year I thought he really cared about people and wanted to spread the news about low carbing, but the more and more I read his blog, especially this past week or so, the more I think ITS ALL ABOUT JIMMY. But that isn't surprising, since most (or at least many) blogs are just about vanity.

Either way, he is making an idiot out of himself and will no doubt quickly lose many of the fans that he may have had.

He's in deep denial about the LC crap he insists on eating (while, ironically, being very holier-than-thou about regular crap), and his motivations when it comes to Kimkins are blatantly obvious.

Also, I don't think much of him as a Christian. The hate in his reply to 'anon' is palpable.

maybe his decrease in "feel good" carbs is making him a cranky boy?

Jimmy Moore said:

This actually adds to the confusion about Kimmer's identity. He has interviewed her and his interview is the only source of information about whom she is, not only in his website but also in Kimkins own website. Now, what he has said made me feel that he has never seen her face to face.
