I just read this one - I realize I hadn't thought of Kimkins this way before and it seems to nail it, Kimmer is
trying to convince everyone that her plans fit all weight loss models and she targets almost every preconceived notion of what needs to happen to lose weight in one neat little package!
Kimkins Manipulation: One Diet Fits All Dietary Patterns
It takes a clever mind to design a diet that appeals to every segment of the population.
Do you believe since fat has more calories per gram than protein or carbohydrate one should limit fat in a weight loss diet?
Kimkins resonates with you; her plan is low fat.
Do you believe that a calorie is a calorie and calories need to be strictly accounted for in a weight loss diet?
Kimkins resonates with you; her plan is a very low calorie diet (vLCD) by design.
Do you believe that fatty meats, red meat and even dark meat poultry has too many calories and needs to be limited in a diet to lose weight?
Kimkins resonates with you; her plan is lean protein only.
Do you think eggs are high in cholesterol and contribute to high cholesterol?
Kimkins resonates with you, her plans recommend consuming only the egg white, free of cholesterol.
Do you believe that a vegetarian dietary pattern is healthier and a better diet to lose weight?
Kimkins resonates with you; her diet site offers a vegetarian option too!
Do you believe that dairy products should be limited in a healthful diet?
Kimkins resonates with you, her plans limit or restrict consumption of dairy.
Do you believe that there are good carbs and bad carbs and that restricting carbohydrate is important in a diet to lose weight?
Once again, Kimkins resonates with you, her diet is touted as a low carbohydrate diet too!
Imagine that! A diet that encompasses all the various theories about weight loss and healthful eating all wrapped up into one plan.
The fact is her diet plans are actually only one of the above, a very low calorie diet (vLCD).
By design, each and every plan offered at Kimkins, is strict and very low calorie. This glaring fact is obliterated by the careful wording in the marketing of the diet that screams ‘fast weight loss’; it is the exact message someone desperate to lose weight wants to hear; they can lose weight fast, without exercise, without supplements, without diet pills, without surgery, without pre-packaged foods.
All you must do is leave your common sense at the door.
You know there is no one diet that fits every single dietary theory, yet you’re expected to believe it’s true with Kimkins.
Use your common sense. It’s not true. You know it, so move along and find a weight loss diet that can provide documented safety data, encourages you to ask and seek answers, and that does not expect you to starve yourself willingly!
