Kimkins Controversy - Kimkins Scam

Use Caution when Supplementing Pet Diets

Most foods for dogs and cats are nutritionally complete. Adding anything else to their diet can throw it out of balance. While looking at old stuff related to Kimkins, I was reminded of the Egg White challenges. This reminded me of something that I learned about feeding cats recently. You should NEVER add egg whites to cat food because a protein in the egg white inhibits biotin absorption. You can add the occasional yolk to dog and cat food.

The best plan for feeding pets is to use a good quality complete food and adjust portion size so your pet maintains an ideal weight.

Finding Good Used Cars

I am going to get some accidental Google traffic from talking about used cars on a blog with the word SCAM in the header. I think that the majority of middle aged people who drive can name at least one automobile purchase where they feel that they got ripped off. My lesson was learned with an 80s Chrysler Reliant. The used car salesman had been a little too eager to take my first counter offer. It was a cheap lesson, at least I didn’t have to worry about car loans until my third car.

If I lived in the UK, I would definitely consider using NetCars.co.uk to sell my car. It’s also a great site to search through if you want to buy a car. After you make your initial search query, you can sort the results by price, by mileage or by model year. I would suggest that you do some third party research on the type of car that you are looking for to start with and then look at the cars that are within the price range that you would expect. Also, if the mileage sounds too good to be true, it might not be.

I’m happy to see that there is a burgeoning market for used Smart cars. Once the kids are out of the picture I want to get one of those babies.

My Hindsight Fashion Sense

Doubts.

Many people who looked at the success stories last year on Kimkins.com had doubts. Some people who were in contact with Heidi were treated to the kind of back stories that um, are generally considered unmakeuppable. When I look at all those Russian Bride pictures now, I find it hard to believe that anyone could have swallowed the whole farce. The majority of them are wearing clothing and makeup that, while not bizarre by any means, are not typical of Americans in the 21st century. I guess the craftiness of the fraud involved placement and cropping. This reminds me of the Jessica Seinfeld book about getting your kids to eat their vegetable through clandestine methods.

The lady in the red dress that was supposed to be Kimmer would be comparible to Jessica Seinfeld putting a cherry TOMATO on top of a sundae and serving it to her kid.

Bad Credit

If you have bad credit in this day and age, you might not want to start a discussion about it on Wall Street. It would seem that the world of finance is placing the blame for the failing economy squarely on the shoulders of the regular Joe. You know him, he’s the guy who took out a subprime mortgage a few years ago so his kids could have a big yard to play in. Joe could barely afford to make his mortgage payments, and when his job at Acme Gadgets went to some kid in Timbuktu, he had no choice but to default. Joe didn’t mess up the economy. The countless thousands of Joes were just being good little consumers like they were told. If you are Joe, you may want to peruse the lending products available at CreditLoan.com.

Mission Accomplished?

After looking at all the tasks posted on Kimkins Scam I felt a bit guilty about not being as busy as some other people. When I decided to jump in and do my share, I got a surprise. Many of the promotional articles and posts about Kimkins have already been taken down. Here’s a 404 page. All the Kimkins articles at Awesome Articles have been replaced with the following words:

All Kimkins diet related articles have been removed from Awesome-Articles.com in response to the following news story:

Kimkins.com is still up and running, but it is reassuring to see how responsive the article posting sites have been.

Hair Restoration.

If you are ever searching for hair transplant surgeons, you should be aware that, in many areas, anyone with a license to practice medicine can take up the lucrative niche of hair transplant surgery. There are a few associations like the IAHRS that strive to create a high standard of care. My advice would be to ask your prospective doctor about his or her association memberships and then check out those associations online. The members of the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons are selectively screened. The have to have a high level of skill and also sound ethics before they can be given membership status. The association is devoted to protecting consumers from enduring the expense and disappointment of having substandard hair restoration surgery. Obviously, since this is surgery, you could potential suffer more than just disappointment.

Anti-Kimkins Blogs of Note: Kimkins Scam

The blogger over at Kimkins Scam is quite a task master. Heidi Diaz and various affiliates have promoted the Kimkins website in a lot of different corners of the internet. Much of this effort can be swept away with a few well written complaints. There are various links and instructions related to this effort on Kimkins Scam. It is part of a broader effort to have the Kimkins site cease to exist.

The blog also has most of the Russian Bride Pics in one convenient location.

Weightless Workouts

I just finished reading through a post about weightless workouts over at www.weightloss-hq.biz and I was so inspired that I actually tried a few exercises right on the spot. Just to be practical, I used laundry folding as my warmup. The weightless workouts described by Kenny aim to achieve muscle overload rather than muscle exhaustion. If I had exhausted my chest muscles rather than overloading them, I might not be typing this post right now. As it is I am feeling the heat, and I am almost but not quite sore.

Exercise that does not require special equipment or trips to the gym are a great way for dieters to maintain or increase muscle mass.

WeightLoss-HQ.biz has a lot of information about various weight loss strategies and from what I have seen they appear to be well balanced reviews. For example, when there are pharmaceuticals for which weight loss is an off-label use that has not been FDA approved the reviewer was very forthright about it. Personally, I wouldn’t be interested in going that route.

Your Body is a Temple

Here is the first in a series of videos chronicling a weight loss challenge between three Christian Ministers. I don’t know how it ends. I’m posting this after only watching the first two videos

Another weight losing minister was on Fox news recently. He gained attention because he was admonishing his congregation about their obesity in an effort to get them to make positive changes. If you are someone who believes that the Bible is the word of God and that your body is a temple, you should have a spiritual as well as practical motivation to eat a healthy diet and work towards an optimal weight.

Where is the Love?

According to a sexy leading man who will remain nameless, ROMANCE stands for

‘Relying On Magnificent And Necessary Compatible Energy.’

I know, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. To me, that is the point of romantic love. It’s a reason to stop making sense.

Don’t get me wrong, it is important to approach the idea of romantic relationships with your eyes wide open. If I was single, I think I would give E-Harmony a try. I have enough life experience to know that compatibility and common values are very important. I am talking about telling your brain to shut up and listening to your heart AFTER you have rationally decided that you want to be with someone.

I don’t know if anything written on RomanceForEveryone.com corroborates my theories. I am in love and have been for years, so I think I know what I am talking about.
