Since Kimmer has everyone paypaling their payments, go to your paypal account. Open up a dispute on Kimmer. There are a few ways to get your money back and you have to check one of them. I suggest the first one. Item dispute: I did not receive an item I purchased or the item I received is significantly not as described. This I believe is how she has to give the money back. Those that are banned did not get what was described. The ebook has never materialized. Therefore grounds for money back. I am sure there are many other reasons to get your money back and I suggest that any of the ones banned or unhappy with her site do this right away. Contact and complain to paypal. She may even be investigated. Kimmer is really taking a huge chance not returning peoples money and it would be in her best interest to do it because the law does not look kindly on someone committing fraud to get peoples money.

As it was orignally used, it was a "jump start" for Atkins, sort of a variation of the fat fast, but with just protein and enough fat to make it work, as Kimmer would say. All in all nothing she "came up with on her own". And definetly not work 60 bucks. I cannot wait until the other segments are released!! *drools* I agree 600 calories a day is dangerous and very close to what I would consider a starvation diet.

Very low calorie diets have there place and if the truth is know they are no more harmful that gastric bypass surgery. Also very few people maintain their loss when they lose a significant amount of weight on any diet, this diet will be no different. I am curious to know the story on this mysterious Kimmer though, proves to be interesting Where was all the outrage when Weightloss Clinic International was putting people on 500 calories a day (800 if you had a history of eating disorders).

There are just too many inconsistencies in Kimmer's story. I'm hoping this is exposed very, very soon. I’m also looking forward to each of the future installments.

I'm also a long-time member at LCF and this whole "what does Kimmer really look like" question has bugged me for YEARS!! However, did Catherine and Kimmer ever even meet face to face? Kimmer's interview with Jimmy Moore was over the phone and from what I understand, so was the Woman's World interview. So how did Woman's World get the infamous "red dress" pic and the bizarre "lepoard print" pic? Kimmer had the pics made in California and just sent them to WW? I find it strange that the "cover girl" for that Women's World issue, Cristen, was really there at WW for a photo shoot, yet the creator of this so-called miracle diet just phoned it in? Looking forward to segment #3. I too would like to see current photos, proven to be the “real” Kimmer.

I knew of her from LCF and I am following a sort of Kimkim-ish diet but I am also afraid how it will wreck my body in the long run. I’m very curious with this ongoing Kimmer saga.
