Diet Program Update

A Special Note:
It has just come to my attention that there is much controversy and many unanswered questions surrounding the identity and background of the founder of the Kimkin’s Diet Program. This has resulted in my decision to no longer support this diet plan, and transition to another program to continue my weight loss quest.
My experience with this program has been a weight loss of 80 pounds to-date. However, concerns regarding the long term implications of a super-low carb / low calorie diet , as well as, the above program issues, has led me to re-evaluate my personal diet plans and seek out another diet plan, e.g. Atkins, South Beach, etc.
I was not aware of any of the accusations directed at, or practices of, the founder and believed in the program as my results were positive. I will keep you apprised of my decision to transition to another diet plan and the corresponding results (hopefully positive).

A Quick Weight Loss Lesson
August 9th, 2007 Subscribe To Our Feed
Sorry to be gone so long. I was in a major stall (Kimkins diet “speak” for stuck at the same weight) and just didn’t have it in me to post on the blog. In actuality, I let myself fall into a pattern of eating a lot of salads as meals. I chose mostly Caesar salads without the croutons and with grilled chicken. I would always ask for the dressing on the side, but that didn’t seem to cut it.
The funny part is that the salads were never more than two cups, but I the scary thing was that I could actually feel cravings for carbs coming back. I wasn’t starving, but suddenly odd cravings for sweets – things I haven’t even thought of in months were popping into my head.
Dill Pickles to the Rescue
A friend suggested that I eat a dill pickle spear to ward off the cravings. I took the suggestion and it really works. But now I know why pickles are not a basic staple of the Kimkin Diet. I didn’t lose a fraction of a pound! The good news was that I didn’t gain anything either. I thought I was being relatively good – so this was very frustrating.
The bottom line — I lost about two weeks worth of progress during the last month messing around with all of this. Part of the problem was that I had some back trouble and maybe I was feeling sorry for myself. Another problem was that my friends were showing up at my work and wanting to go out lunch. The bad news was that I really wanted to go with them!
Stay Active in the Kimkin Diet Community
I’m sure another thing that really contributed to the lapse is that I basically went dark on the Internet and the Kimkims Diet website (in particular, the Kimkins forum). Since I couldn’t really sit up in comfort, I couldn’t post on the forum or even surf the Net. Shame on me - I didn’t update my ticker, track my foods or even my weight. I did weigh myself everyday though, but now I have a big hole in my Fitday Software.
If there is one quick weight loss lesson to be learned: Don’t go off the grid, it’s too easy to get sidetracked and lose your diet focus!!!!!

Try This Low Carb Diet Recipe - For Chicken Lovers Everywhere
July 16th, 2007 Subscribe To Our Feed
If you have a hankering for chicken, you should try this really great low carb recipe - Grilled Garlic Rosemary Chicken. It has been provided by the fantastic folks at Kimkins Diet Plan and comes highly recommended as a great way to eat savory tasting foods while sticking to your low carbohydrate diet (preferably the Kimkin Diet Program!).
Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts, butterflied (see below)
- 3 tsp fresh rosemary, finely minced
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp black pepper
- Pam olive oil spray
- You will need to butterfly the chicken breasts. To do this you will slice through the middle horizontally stopping 1/2″ before the edge. Flip the chicken open like a book, place between 2 pieces of cling wrap (like Saran Wrap) and with a heavy can, mallet or saucepan, pound out to 1/2″ thickness (Great for taking out any frustrations built up during your busy day!). What you have created is a paillard.
- The beauty of this chicken dish is that you have a variety of options for your chicken — including stuffing, rolling, slicing thin for stir fries or soups. Our recommendation is to grill them whole on your BBQ.
- Place the paillards on a large baking sheet or clean flat surface. Spray lightly with Pam.
- Sprinkle evenly with half of the garlic powder, rosemary and red and black pepper. Press rosemary in lightly. Flip chicken and repeat.
- Fold chicken in half and cover to marinate for 30 minutes until your BBQ grill comes up to temperature. When grill is ready (very hot grill), cook chicken 3 minutes on each side and serve!

My Kimkin Diet in Miami - Watch the Salt!
July 12th, 2007 Subscribe To Our Feed
While on the trip I did not cheat once with any carbs or alcohol, but I did go over my usual calories more than a couple of days. Allowed with the Kimkin Diet, but not good on a daily basis, are the “once in a while” items that I consumed almost every day. I didn’t measure the salad dressing etc…
I did snack on almonds and Slim Jims (lots and lots of salt) and I think those may have been what saved me from “the big cheat”. As a result, I returned, with lots of new clothes, and only a couple of “water weight” pounds to shed – which I did quite quickly.
I mentioned before that I had a little prize waiting for me once I hit the 200 mark. Well, one day I was in a local jewelry store getting my chain fixed and I saw a beautiful ring. I decided to buy it for myself and ask my husband to tuck it away in our safe and only give it to me when he saw the scale under 200.
I went off to Florida without my ring, but I did get it shortly thereafter. I’m very proud of my accomplishment, but am also very mystified as to why I was able to lose weight so quickly this time while all of the other times (a host of different diet plans) I only faced failure.
I think that the Kimkin Diet is really something special and with all the support, helped me stay on track better than the other diet plans (Atkins, Weight Watchers, South Beach, etc.) I also think that the way you lose weight with Kimkins sets the diet apart from the others. A quick weight loss diet like Kimkins gives you immediate results – no time to get overly discouraged and quit. It really makes a big difference when you don’t have to feel that you will be dieting for years to get to your weight goal. (Just my thoughts!)
Now I realize that I have many more pounds to go to my Kimkin Diet goal and that I could slip and gain weight back like before, but for some reason I don’t think I will this time.
