Yes 2 big, thanks for your coment.

As you can see I haven’t never trust the Kimkins diet…

I started writing these article focus on:

Here the risks of Very low calorie diet are:

* Gallbladder disease
* A slowing of your metabolism
* Your body will break down muscle and other lean body tissue which can be very dangerous for calorie burning and metabolism
* Osteoporosis
* Women can find an irregular menstruation periods
* A lack of serotonin in the brain can lead to clinical depression.
* Deterioration in the condition of hair and nails.

People who follow this diet can lose weight very fast, but they regain it equally fast when they realize food is not something you can avoid forever.

Thanks Sherrie for the links, very interesting.

Yes, I think that all advertised is scam…

There 4 principles for weight loss:
1) Patience
2) Costance
3) Regularity
4) Exercise

They can provide thousand of diets, but the principles are the same…I don’t trust of people who sell diets.

Thanks
Enrico

Regarding your review of the kimkins diet

You said you did not find any research, I found some research on VLCD’s here: http://www.apinchofhealth.com/resources/lowcarb/VLCD-Research.html

Also I was thinking it would be a good idea to mention the scam side of the kimkins diet, Kimmer the creator has actually been proven to still be obese. There is actually a class action lawsuit in the works and her scam has been aired on nationally TV across 3 different channels so far, You can see footage of her at her deposition for the law suit here: http://pinchof.blogspot.com/2007/11/kimkins-diet-scam.html

Even About.com has covered this: http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/populardietplans/a/?once=true&

I hope you will edit your kimins evaluation as kimmer has recanted her statements about shedding that weight eating her plan and is and according to family members statemnts reported on that linked site above never shed any weight following that plan.

there is great info about this hoax and scam on these sites with links for any one who did buy it even with your review above against it.

You are right Cherry.

People have to understand that it’s better a long term diet plan than a short weightloss plan.

It’s amazing how many people don’t mind how unhealthy is to loose weight so fast…

You have a good website

I agree that some of the popular expensive diets nowadays follow the similar principle with Mediterranean diet. You put them all in a good well researched post, I agree that Mediterranean diet is generally better than those diets but those who sought weight loss may not be so patient to stick with Mediterranean diet for long time.
Sad to say that people don’t mind feeling unhealthy and spend a lot of money just for the sake of weight loss.
