Exposing the Kimkins Diet Scam

Kimkins Lifetime Membership – Another Lie

Kimkins cost $59.95 for a lifetime membership!

The media has done a good job lately with exposing Kimmer’s fraud and the dangers of the Kimkins diet. However, little has been said about losing the money you paid for your membership on a whim of a Kimkins admin.

While some uninformed dieters might be tempted to join Kimkins to achive the same weight loss Christin and Deni had, not giving a damn about any health risks, they might think twice if they know that they most likely will be out of $59.95 and not have access to Kimkins.

Bannings happen for a variety of reasons, and for no reason at all! The Kimkins admin has full control over whom to use the ban button for.

And there is no way to complain or get your money back! Paypal refuses refund as you paid for “electronic media”. That you no longer has access to the media is apparently of no concern. Some people have tried to refute the charge with their credit card company, but if they have been successful, I have not heard of it.

Emails to Kimkins support result in an automatic form email, again referring to the “electronic media” being non-refundable. Repeated emails to Kimkins support result in nothing. No explanation of WHY you were stripped of your lifetime membership is given, apart from the generic “TOS violation”. Nowhere to appeal the decision of the Kimkins admin.

Of course, Kimmer and Kimkins could not care less if you are never seen on the site again. They have already gotten all the money they will get from you, so now you are worthless to them. Why not ban you? It reduces the burden on the server and there are less posters for the admins to monitor.

Join the lawsuit!

Kimkins Hiding Assets?

With the Kimkins class action lawsuit under way, Kimkins‘ assets have been frozen. This includes Kimkins‘ PayPal account and Kimkins can no longer accept credit card payments. The sign-up page states “We are redesigning out credit card payment page” which means that Heidi Diaz is researching how to sign up for a credit card service that will allow her to transfer the money to some account not influenced by the lawsuit. I think she doesn’t have to bother; I can’t see a lot of new victims falling for the scam.


The only option now is to send a check (beware, she’ll get your name and account number!) or a money order. I think this might be a great deterrent to unsuspecting customers that find Kimkins.com on the internet. While I impulsively could shell out $60, I would think at least twice about having to write out a check and mail it. To me, legitimate internet businesses always accept credit card payments, either directly or by PayPal.

Kimkins – Kimmer talks about the lawsuit

From the deposition of Kimmer and Kimkins:

Tiedt: reading heidi’s email to her in depo “can you imagine him telling the judge that he wants a certified class action suit against a housewife hee hee hee”

to heidi: That is your statement is that correct?

Heidi: “yes…pause….is it too late to take that back giggle giggle”

When you get more than $2 million by scamming people, how can you expect to hide behind a “housewife” label? Kimmer has been “judgement proof” for so long that she has forgotten how real life works.

Kimkins Diet Failure

Who would pay for diet advice from this woman?


Kimmer/Heidi Diaz is back at the helm at Kimkins, touting her usual advice to cut carbs, calories and fat. She supposedly is following her own diet presently, but the pictures prove that she hasn’t been too successful in the past.

No doubt has Kimmer used Kimkins over the years, had some big losses, but fell off the wagon and binged as the Kimkins starvation diet is not sustainable. It will be interesting to see how long she can stick to it this time.

Kimkins – Tippy Toes lost her job!

This was just posted by Tipsy:

“Re; Damage Control Bootcamp Challenge 1 Day, 1 Hour ago
I am taking a computer break for a while. Been fighting with DH over the time I spend here. He wins and he is right (but don’t tell him) . So carry on, stay safe and stay over 800 calories and you’ll do just fine. I hope to be back online soon. Happy weight loss everyone!”

Tippy had these type of posts frequently when she was at LCF – her husband would get upset with the excessive computer time, they would fight and she would stay away for a couple of days. However, knowing that they really need the money that she was paid as a kimkins’ PR/admin/whatever, I can not see him objecting unless she is no longer paid.

No doubt does Heidi/Kimmer no longer have any use for her as Kimmer herself is posting again. It could also have been problematic with Tipsy stressing her success, while Kimmer clearly is a failure.

Tippy, you better get used to staying off the computer as no other lowcarb site wants you!

Edited to add: Another scenario just occured to me. Perhaps Tipsy just used her husband as an excuse. Perhaps she and Heidi had words about the non-paying position and Tipsy said that she wouldn’t post unless she got paid. But wanting to keep the possibility of being re-hired, she chose to just make a temporary exit instead of burning her bridges for good. It would be too funny if Kimmer gets mad and bans her. People have been banned for less.

Edited again with a comment from Queeny on LCF:
It is perfectly clear to me what has happened. Kimmer no longer needs TT, so she has let her go. TT is trying to save face. Think about it for a minute, what does Kimmer need TT for? Kimmer is no longer hiding and can do her own PR work.Why waste the money on her. If TT really believed in this diet she would promote it for free. Now with no money coming her way, TT is out of there. However she knows and has known that Heidi is a fraud. TT is out for the money and that’s it. Isn’t that what they are all out for?

As far as TT running her own website and being smarter than we think, think again. First of all TT is not the only person who has lost weight nor the last. She lost her credibility by supporting a fraud, who would want to listen to her now? Not to mention the mean things she has said behind peoples back that is documented and giving folks bad recipes so that they will GAIN weight. Most folks who have lost a good amout of weight will try to help others for free not hurt them. They don’t ask to be paid for helping. Maybe losing weight is the ONLY thing TT has done in her life that she feels good about. I really don’t think TT is that smart. If she could spell correctly believe me she would. Who likes to be laughed at in public?

I think TT needs the money and would stay at KK as long as she was being paid for it. From what I have heard about her “rentals” I doubt they bring in much money. In the end they will all get what they deserve. Kimmers money will run out. When there is nothing coming in, it doesn’t last. One thing TT and Kimmer will never have is pride. How can you have pride when all your doing is covering up lie after lie. You can’t buy pride you have to earn it.

CONFIRMED: It was just an excuse. Tipsy spent a lot of time today (Thursday) on LCF. Obviously it is not computer time that is limited, but her presence on Kimkins.

Kimkins – Want to know where your membership money went?

Heidi Diaz/Kimmer has said on many occasions that “her proceeds from Kimkins go to the foster kids.”

And she also said:

“Re:How about a weight loss challenge to benefit Kimmer’s foster kids? 1 Year, 4 Months ago

You know, it’s hard to type with tears in your eyes. How unbelievably generous you guys are!
I wasn’t going to say anything to anybody when the site started. It’s so tacky to talk about money, but I’m not above “tacky-osity” so …

For many years at LCF people asked me about starting my own site or writing a book, but I have a huge problem with making money.

It’s not the making money, per se, because I insist on top dollar when I’m working at a job. If I find out somebody else is making 10 cents an hour more than me for the same job, the whole office is going to hear about it!

I’ve always been weird about money. I almost have an aversion to it. This would explain why I’m not rich.

In my experience, I’ve seen people willing to do extreme or illegal things for money (cousin is a prostitute) and people who think cash buys anything. What even comes to mind are men who invite me to dinner and expect me to sleep with them because they bought me the #2 special at El Tio Pepe. Now, I don’t know what the going rate is for hookers, but I’m guessing it’s more than $8.99 plus tax and tip.

My problem is accepting something in return for helping people. I’ve always been that way. I’ve raised my sons with the same belief … you don’t take money for doing the right thing.

I volunteer with poor people in a local homeless shelter. I write & type their resumes, practice interviews and job applications and wrangle interview clothes to help get them on their feet. I babysit their kids for free. I’ve even bought monthly bus passes for those who do get a job. I’m a volunteer for the literacy program at the library and teach immigrants to read and write. But I’m OK with all of that because I don’t take money for doing it.

What is it with me and money?”

Where is a puke smiley when you need one????


Kimmer is a Big-Boned, Diabolical, Quasi-Diabetic, Lint Licking, Lying, Liar that Lies. [HoneyBee2]

  • There are no foster kids, and there haven’t been any since at least 2000
  • She paid $475,000 cash (!) a few weeks ago for a house in CA
  • She recently bough two new cars for herself and Brandon, also paying cash

The good news is that the ongoing lawsuit has put a lien on her house, and frozen $1,600,000 of her assets in bank accounts and Paypal. Hopefully she will not get much use out of the hot tub.
