i'd like to see where he is at in 3 months...
i read a lot about the kimkins diet on another forum (she posted for free there for a long time) & her weight loss is definitely not to be sneezed at - however seemed quite unrealistic as a woe from what i remember - very little variety. then again, who knows...

What a great outlook. It's funny, user-bias interferes with how we look at others' plans. If something is working for someone, they should go for it.

I'm on a modified kimkims (aka, Stillmans, really), and it works so well and I'm never ever hungry that I'll be able to stay eating this way for a while. I don't ignore cheese, but I use less than I did, and I do eat a bit of skin on my chicken. I just find revolution rolls help me very much and that's a big key to staying on plan is to plan.

I say, Kudos to all who have the willpower and determination to make their bodies healthy! We're here and we're losing!!! whoohooo!!!

Jimmy's weight loss is NOTHING!. One person wrote a testimonial on the Kimkins website saying she had lost 12 lbs. overnight!!!

Of course she forgot to say she had cut off her head. LOL.

In your liver you have glycogen which weighs about 1 lb. When you eat a lot of carbs your body stores 4-5 lbs of water to process them. That's just the water your liver is holding onto.

When you reduce or eliminate carbs the glycogen shrinks in weight and the water is not needed anymore. Thus an initial whoosh.

This is why on induction and similiar low carb programs the first few weeks are intense "weight loss."

This is also, I presume why when someone cheats they think they have gained 6 lbs.~water and glycogen increase in the liver after a high carb meal. I'm not sure how soon after, but it's soon.

Of course you lose pounds of fat too I am sure. I wouldn't be on the atkins diet if it was all water weight you lost.

Do people actually read Jimmy Moore's blog?

I've seen it because people quote it all the time so I guess they read it. Who is he other than a blogger? I mean did he do anything else?

I did, once.

He lost 180 lbs a few years ago and is a huge supporter of low carb way of life ie: his blog.

Yes Jimmy went from around 420 lbs. down to 170-something or so on Atkins. Then he started his blog which is supported by low carb products. Most of the products are processed rather than whole foods. Jimmy actually "tests" those products (ie: eats them) and that is probably what caused his stall and subsequent weight gain. I've done the same thing myself and I am so DONE with "franken foods."

Kimkins Helped Me Lose 18 1/2 Pounds--In ONE Week!

What an exciting week this has been for me since I announced my newfound journey to lose 50 more pounds last week. My weight had climbed back up to 248 pounds almost suddenly, so it was definitely time to do something about it before it got completely out of control. That's why I decided to join Kimkins and give it a go since I had blogged so much about that low-carb program over the past year.

But my decision to begin Kimkins wasn't without controversy from a few of my readers who believe I had prematurely abandoned the Atkins diet that helped me shed 180 pounds in 2004. How ludicrous! But everyone has an opinion just like me, so I listened to what they had to say.

I started Kimkins M/E four days ago just to see what would happen. I am 6'4" and weighed 242. Today, four days later and I weigh 230. Now I am sure that there has been a substantial water loss. I will give it another 10 days.

I suppose that you eat until you are full, so you could not be hungry. Can you tell how many calories you end with in an average day? Do you feel that you are getting all the energy you need?

Moore posted this at his blog as a response to someone's question about what he's eating:



So he's still eating junk food.

Yes he is ......and it is NOT a pretty picture:

Did he really take a picture of eating that?

And why add sweetener, the DaVinci syrup is sweetened, isn't it?
