Kimkins Diet Scam Uncovered On FOX's 'The Morning Show' #4

The Kimkins diet scandal received national exposure for the first time ever on FOX-TV's "The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet" on Monday, November 12, 2007.

Representing Kimkins was Jeannie Baitinger, the public relations spokesperson for the diet, and she made some rather stunning admissions about the weight loss scam her boss Heidi Diaz has been perpetrating.

On the other side of the debate was Christin Sherburne and Deni Huttula, both of whom appeared in WOMAN'S WORLD magazine as Kimkins weight loss success stories. But they no longer subscribe to this dangerous diet that Christin describes as "Atkins meets anorexia."

I'm not saying anything that isn't true. If the good doctor on the show can prove that being in a state of ketosis is unhealthy and dangerous as he claims, then I'm happy to take a look at it. But he doesn't which was the point of my sound effect. THANKS for watching!

Did you put the boos over the guy talking about ketosis being bad? LOL

[livinlowcarbman]

(Sheepishly)...yes! :P

[chad5161]

i thought you were against kimkins?

[livinlowcarbman]

I am against Kimkins, but not against ketosis. If you are on ketosis on a high-fat, low-carb diet, then it is completely safe and natural. That's why I added the boos.

This is why i tell people stop being lazy, do your research and create/tailor a diet that is right for you with all the nutrients your body need. It is stupid for people to think that one universal diet could work for everyone else.

Low carb diets decrease circulating blood glucose and aid in maintaining healthy/consistant blood sugar levels in these folks. The long term effects of out of control diabetes are a host of chronic ailments that include gangrene, blindness, organ damage and vascular/circulatory problems(infections from), just to name a few. Medical professionals that poo poo PROPERLY BALANCED low carb LIFESTYLES are doing a disservice to a large segment of the public that could benefit from them.

[chesapeakers]

when I reference diabetic in this context I speak of Type I diabetes. Type 1 produces little to no insulin and requires insulin shots to survive. Type II diabetes can usually be managed with diet (low carb works wonders here), excercise, and some medications. type 2 is still producing insulin, but their body's cells have somehow become resistant to absorbing and using it properly, and/or combined with low insulin production all together.

[chesapeakers]

in the non diabetic, the body is capable of producing insulin, so neither the blood glucose or ketones get out of control and are properly balanced and eliminated by the hromone insulin. I'll close my yap now:-)

[chesapeakers]

adding to the ketoacidosis, you have to remember that the type 1 diabetic also has a high circulating blood glocose as well as ketone level. Since they cannot produce insulin, which regulates the blood sugar level to normal, the body is literally starving becuase it cannot convert glucose to energy. It is forced to burn fat instead=ketones built up in the blood stream with all the excess glucose. The blood stream becomes a toxic wasteland of high blood sugar and ketones, poisoning ones self.

[chesapeakers]

this diet is SCARY though. I think low carb diets can be very beneficial if followed properly, but there is no possible way to get the proper nutrition you need out of ANY diet at 500-800 calories. This diet is simply starvation, with a ketogenic engine.
