kimkins diet plan Speaking of losing inches from my quick weight loss diet, I’m dropping clothes sizes like mad. A couple of months ago when I was in Florida, I bought a bunch of new clothes. I fit pretty well into a pair of size 16 Petite jeans, and picked up 14 Petites and 12 Short Jeans just for inspiration.

Well the size 16’s are going to charity this week and I’m wearing the 12 Short Jeans. The size 12’s are actually fitting a little loose. Hurray! I never even got a chance to wear the size 14 Petites. Perhaps wasted money, but well worth it!

I do understand now that Petites are cut smaller, because the size 10 Petites are really tight. But it just amazes me that I could drop these sizes and not really lose the actual pounds that I thought would be needed to fit into these smaller sizes.

Remember, I was in a stall (hit a weight plateau) just a few weeks ago. Go figure! Just more proof that a quick weight loss diet like Kimkins can make such a difference in your life, your health, and your attitude!

My Kimkin Diet in Miami - Watch the Salt!

kimkin diet plan 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.
