Christin Shares ~ Top 10 Things I’ve Learned Since Kimkins

In her recent blog post, The Journey: Happy Anniversary! Christin shares with us the Top 10 Things She’s Learned Since Kimkins:

A year has gone by. I still have a hard time believing it but, it’s been an entire year that I have maintained my 100 pound weight loss. I have a mixed sense of emotions today as I think back over all that has happened this year. I am proud that I lost the weight of course, but not of the method in which I lost it. I am even prouder though that I have persevered and maintained my loss instead of giving up and giving in. I think I have learned more this last year than I have in the last 10 years. So without further ado, a humorous look at 10 things I’ve learned since leaving the Kimkins program.

Top 10 Things I’ve Learned Since Kimkins

10.) Never trust a Russian Bride.

9.) There are many ways to lose weight, starvation included, however not all methods come with a guarantee that you will retain your hair.

8.) I did not get fat eating fruits and vegetables!

7.) God has created a glorious rainbow of nutrition for me to partake in, and He intends for me to utilize it.

6.) I can thoroughly enjoy eating healthfully using all 5 senses, and shift my focus from eating “because it’s there” to indulging in the satisfaction that nourishing my body provides.

5.) There really are real people out there who do not lie about themselves or who they truly are, and they’re pretty darn nice too.

4.) I must be more careful with my money.

3.) Dizziness, nausea, and lightheadedness should NOT accompany NORMAL weight loss methods.

2.) Food is to be savored with anticipation, not feared.

1.) I am worth transforming my view of “me.” If I accept myself for who and what I am, I will only grow happier by treating myself right and losing/keeping weight off permanently for my own health and betterment.

Happy Anniversary, Christin! We’ve ALL learned a lot since Kimkins. For some of us, the lessons have been more costly than for others, but one of the most important things is that we all realize there is a better way; a safer way; a healthier way to lose weight than Kimkins.

Thank you for sharing your Journey with us.

Finally!

After all these months, Woman’s World magazine has finally released a retraction.

A Statement from

Woman’s World Magazine

Please accept our apology

We at Woman’s World pride ourselves on finding inpiring diet successes to share with our readers every week. That’s why we were so distressed to learn that Kim Drake, the founder of Kimkins.com, gave us inaccurate information about herself and her weight loss. Though the article appeared several months ago, in our June 12, 2007 issue, and nutritionists assure us the information we provided was accurate, we deeply regret having shared with you a story we can’t stand behind. Your trust means everything to us, and we want to bring you the very best magazine we can, each and every week.

It would certainly be very good to see a link to the Kimkins Class Action Lawsuit website also included on that page.

Perhaps we should utilize that contact info to request that they do just that?

.

Will this retraction also appear in an upcoming issue of the magazine?

.

How do they intend for the general public to be able to learn about this retraction?

.

**Check out this article posted on the ArticleLand website that still includes the mention that Woman’s World Magazine supports Kimkins:

.

In fact, Kimkins diet has the support of Woman’s World magazine’s support on its side. So, one should think twice before totally rejecting the idea of using it.

.

I wonder what ArticleLand thinks about the retraction?

Here’s their contact page.

What’s For Lunch?

Ok, so it’s almost lunch time and my daughter is wondering very loudly “What’s For Lunch?”

I think some people would really be surprised about What’s for Lunch when you are following Kimkins, for sure!

When you look at the first plate of food, it doesn’t look so bad, until it is explained that that’s for the whole day and then we are shown plates for each individual meal. Shocking, to say that least!

Thank you to Mariasol for illustrating for us what one is encouraged to eat on the Kimkins Diet Plans.

UPDATED: Mariasol has just posted some information about the Kimkins Shake Plan.
