Since this is a low-carb blog I would be remiss without mentioning the current Kimkins controversy. In brief, her unhealthy low-carb, low-fat, extreme low-calorie diet has made people sick, and Kimmer has misrepresented herself - she is in fact a morbidly obese woman.
I never did her diet. At the time she came on the scene I was on Atkins and happy with it. She has no training in the area of nutrition and diet - she is not a doctor, nurse, nutritionist, or dietitian. Thanks, but I'd trust a doctor first and foremost, or at least someone with a modicum of training in some area relating to diet.
There's a ton of links out there. Here's a few to get you started. You should be able to surf around from there and find even more information. Kimkins is the big story in the low-carb community at the moment.
