Kimkins Fundanentals Ebook

Congratulations! You have just received the Kimkins.com e-book! Here you will read and learn all about the original Kimkins Diet, how and why it works -- and best of all, what it can do for you!


What Is the Kimkins Diet and What Makes It Superior to Other Weight Loss Plans?


Kimkins is the fastest major weight loss plan ever. Sure, we know you've heard claims like this before. That's one reason we have decided to put the original Kimkins Diet in this e-book. Try it and see for yourself.


Always ask your doctor before starting this or any diet plan.


Do I Have To Take Pills Such As Appetite Suppressants or Diet Pills?


Absolutely NOT! However, do speak with your doctor about quality nutritional vitamins and mineral supplements. In this day and age of depleting soil nutrients and processing of foods, free radicals and environmental pollution, we strongly recommend supplements for everyone -- dieting or not.


Will I Be Hungry?


No. The Kimkins Diet causes an effect termed “ketosis”. Ketosis is a natural body process and in simple terms means burning stored body fat for fuel.


When a person is in ketosis they often experience a sense of well being and experience little or no hunger. Ketosis is a natural appetite suppressant. Doing Kimkins a person can expect to be in ketosis in just a few short days. Symptoms normally include a copper taste in the mouth. Your breath will change as well.


Kimkins is certainly not the first low carb plan to introduce ketosis, but Kimkins offers a special advantage the other plans don't. Motivation even before ketosis sets in by giving you what you really want in a weight loss plan. Fast results! That's right -- fast! You can expect to see a drop of up to 1 pound a day or more per day (varies from each individual) on average and sometimes even more!


Losing 5% (or more!) of your total body weight within 10 days is commonly reported by members.


Of course sometimes people who are accustomed to eating large portions may still feel hungry despite ketosis. We can help you adjust your menu and portions to suit your individual needs. Your comfort is important to us as well as to your own success.


No One Understands


Most importantly, here at Kimkins.com we know how you feel. We know the despair, humiliation and embarrassment that tend to go hand in hand with being overweight.


Maybe you have a high school reunion coming up and you want to look your best? Or perhaps the same clothes you wore last summer won't button up today? Or maybe you saw a glimpse of yourself in a storefront window reflection and you no longer recognize that person!


Worse, recent photographs and videos often shock us. Often we don't realize how our weight has spiraled out of control until we see the images on film.


Here at Kimkins we are made up of people who understand your situation because we've been there. Each and every single one of us knows what it's like to be over weight. We are succeeding and you will too.

How Can We Make Such Claims?


Just ask our members at Kimkins.com! Our chat room is just one source of happy people who will tell you that Kimkins is highly effective and does deliver the promise of fast weight loss.


With nearly 40,000 members and rapidly growing, Kimkins.com has the support you need. Studies have shown that losing weight with a support group is far more effective than going it alone. So, come on in to Kimkins.com and start off by introducing yourself and head off to the Newbie Support forum to get started.


On the website you will find support, positive re-enforcement and helpful guidance from members and staff. These people started out just like you and they are succeeding! There’s always something interesting and fun goings on at Kimkins.com on the challenge forums, too! What could be more motivational than a group of people who are all losing with you?


And there's more! We also offer weight loss challenges that benefit others in need -- just by your success!


At certain times you will find fundraisers (optional for you to join) which help fund non profit organizations. For example, we are currently planning a challenge to benefit diabetes awareness. Plus, we have a breast cancer walk coming up in 2008.


We will be posting more about these fundraisers on our bulletin boards very soon.

Proof It Works


Want more proof that Kimkins works as promised?


How about People magazine, January 3, 2007 entitled Half Their Size? Yes, we have a weight loss success story, Mary Smith, on the cover who credits the Kimkins plan as part of her success!


And on the June 5, 2007 issue of Woman’s World magazine, we proudly feature another success story on the cover! Christin is a mom of 2 and lost 100 lbs on Kimkins in just 5 short months!


At Kimkins.com you will find many, many success stories. We hope the next one will be you!


Your Health


Even more important than your appearance is your health. Excess weight is a well known contributor to health problems and can cause a myriad of conditions including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.


Excess weight can also be hard on the joints, can cause feet to swell and contributes to lower back problems. And let's not forget fatigue and depression. Kimkins can help with the cure.


Understanding Why


On almost any corner there is a fast food restaurant, doughnut shops or convenient stores stocked with candy, junk food, sugary drinks, etc. Turn on the television and you'll see plenty of promotions for unhealthy junk foods but rarely featuring an overweight host. It's misleading, for sure.


But at Kimkins.com we can show you exactly which foods are making you over weight and unhealthy. We can also help you choose foods that will benefit your health as well as your weight.


Do I have To Buy Pre-packaged Foods?


No. Kimkins is simple. You will find everything you need at your local grocery store. Meal preparations are easy.


In fact, so easy and delicious that we have included a few sample recipes in the back of this book. Try them and see for yourself!

OK, What About Exercise? Do I have To Do It?


No. Exercise is a matter of personal choice. It is not necessary for weight loss while doing Kimkins. However, if you would like the benefits from exercising we do have an excellent exercise forum with like-minded members to encourage you.


But How Does Kimkins Work?


Kimkins is not just another low calorie plan. Nor is it just another low carb plan. Kimkins is unique. Again, we are proud to make the claim that there is no faster major weight loss plan -- NONE! Come see for yourself at Kimkins.com.


Overheard on Our Boards


"I tried Atkins but it quit working for me. I tried South Beach and it didn't work either. I even tried another low calorie diet called The Rotation diet and failed to lose anything. Then I found Kimkins and am proud to say today I have lost 112 lbs!"


Will I Gain The Weight Back Once I Hit Goal?


No. We will teach you what foods to eat to maintain your goal weight. Gradually you will be able to add more foods back into your diet until you find your own individual tolerances.


Will I Ever Be Able To Eat My Favorite Foods Again?


Yes. But, not every day or in the same quantity. Once you have reached your goal weight you will occasionally be able to treat yourself to a special food that was previously off limits during the weight loss phase.


Our maintenance plan offers a huge advantage over most plans. We allow a 5 lb span from your goal weight number. It's a good idea to drop to the lower end of your weight loss span first, before you indulge. Then, if a certain food indulgence causes your weight to go over your comfort zone, simply return to a short round of Kimkins until the weight is back to the lower end. Normally this only takes a few days.


We recommend you keep a sharp eye on the scales and pay attention to how your clothes fit. Be vigilant and you can stay slim forever.


What Is My Goal Weight?


At Kimkins.com you will find a tool called My Virtual Model. The model is a replica of you according to your height and body structure. You can enter different weights and get an idea of what you will look like. This will help you determine your ideal weight.


Or, you may recall an earlier weight when you were most comfortable. Many already have that magic number in mind before they start Kimkins. Either way we can help you determine your goal weight.


A healthy BMI is just the beginning of the new you.


What If I Get Bored With Kimkins?


At Kimkins.com we have alternative weight loss plans that are all just as effective as the original Kimkins plan. The choice is yours! Feel free to try them all and find your own personal favorite. We even offer vegetarian choices.


My Doctor Says Lose Slower


Introducing the slower but steady plan! Kimkins can be cycled with a higher fat and higher calorie plan. Some people find they are more comfortable using this plan and can stay on target this way.


You may not get the fastest results, but you will still succeed. Just ask us how at Kimkins.com. We are here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
