Headline Legal News Kimkins Diet Scandal

Press Release Author: Laura Miller

Industry: Internet & Online

Press Release Summary: The tangled web of deception that is the Kimkins Diet Scam
took another hit with the release of the latest video about the diet scandal.

Press Release Body: Heidi Diaz, aka the Kimmer, is the black widow of the Internet
Diet Industry. She has taken the meaning of the words Diet Scam to new lows. While
most people are familiar with the fact that many diet\'s claims are, in fact, too
good to be true; Ms. Diaz herself turns out to be too good to be true.

The picture of the beautiful, petite, size 4 woman staring out at you from her diet
website and newsletters turns out to be a \"borrowed\" picture of Lesya,from a Russian
Mail Order Bride website. Pictures taken by a private investigator and those
released from a recent deposition revealed that Ms. Diaz is no where near petite,
weighing in at over 300 lbs. She only wears a size 4 in her dreams it seems.

As it turns out, Ms. Diaz\'s success story, and a multitude of the other success
stories, posted on her website were fabrications and all used pictures \"borrowed\"
from various Russian Bride Websites.

Kimmer, as she goes by on her website, even told Woman\'s World Magazine that her
name was actually Kim Drake, and sent them an entirely different picture (of a
different Russian Model) to use in their article on the Kimkins Diet which graced
the cover of their magazine last June. Since then, the two young women featured in
the Magazine as Kimkins Success Stories have experienced major health issues from
following the diet, and have realized they had been deceived by Ms. Diaz, and have
since left her employ. Ms. Diaz, for obvious reasons revealed much later, refused to
be photographed for the story in Woman\'s World Magazine.


Not only is the Kimkins Diet and website embroiled in litigation over the fraud
issues, with a Kimkins Class Action Lawsuit; there are also issues involving the
dangerous diet itself. Doctors and Nutritionists both have cautioned folks about
following the starvation based diet. Many of those attempting to recover from the
damage done to their metabolisms by the Kimkins Diet, also are discovering that they
have developed eating disorders from this experience. Basically, Ms. Diaz is
teaching people how to become anorexic on this diet.

Kimmer encourages people to cut their calorie intake to starvation levels while
preaching that if you have any fat on your body at all, that you don\'t really need
to eat because your body fat will sustain you. If her members aren\'t losing she
berates them for cheating (even if they are not) and urges them to cut their calorie
intake lower and lower. Ms. Diaz also believes heavily in water fasting to lose
weight, although she chooses to do her fasting with Diet Coke.

Insider Exclusive has released a very informative video detailing much about the
Kimkins Diet Scam and the current litigation involved with the Kimkins Class Action
Lawsuit now pending.
