uh fuck you? i did research it and im aware how anorexia works.. im not rewatching this but the girl was acting as if she had no clue 500 calories was too little when its common sense.. my comment was too old to have a reply as i have forgotten about this shit already since its been over a month. if you reply with your unwanted comment i wont reply because i dont care about this and would have to rewatch this shit

Do a bit more research. The people who join this website can deteriorate into anorexia, and so they don’t think about the implications on their bodies. ‘Kimmer’ was publishing ‘true facts’ about laxatives, and as these people are believeing that the diet is legit, they’re believing it.

this girl would have had to be retarded to not know only eating 500 calories is bad for you..she must have been hungry all the time.. and any person of average intelligence knows taking laxatives is terrible for your insides.

Keep your workouts brief and intense, under 45 minutes and your cortisol shouldn’t kick up so much. Also, make sure to get as much sleep as you possibly can. De-stressing also helps lower cortisol, as well as reducing caffeine/stimulant intake.

You don’t need carbs per se, since you can make glucose out of protein. But it is INSANITY to go too low fat! It damages your brain and organs like nothing else!

One last thing. Don’t get an expensive Oolong or Green tea product sold online. Just go to an Asian food store and get some the same way any NORMAL person would. You should not have to spend hundreds of dollars for your daily tea. Eating carbs in the day gives your body time to start using them before the evening when your body is ready for a slowing, resting state. When it rejuvenates it will continue burning carbs and using proteins and nutrients from the foods you eat in the evening.

Consume most of your carbs before noon DO NOT try to eliminate carbs. Eat sensible proportions of your foods (not pigging out) and spread them to about 6 a day. Any food after noon time should be normal but lean towards meats/chicken/fish/tuna etc. and veggies, salads etc. (many green veggies too) Drink a Green or Oolong Tea in the morning and evening and continue exercising as you were… YOU WILL LOOSE WEIGHT! and continue to be in a good, healthy state and not be hungry. That’s it! Try it.

Thanks for the info. A banana a day should help you, then.

MisterQuebec December 29, 2009 at 2:59 PM

I lost about 6 pounds since I stopped exercise. I’m told that it may be that the type of exercise, plyometrics, was wrong for me. It put so much stress on my body that it had to create cortisol that stored the calories as fat. Just a theory. I might as well stick to an one-hour brisk walk a day.

MisterQuebec December 29, 2009 at 3:02 PM

I did the same joke in another Youtube part of this program. The only difference is that I said 150 calories. lol.

MisterQuebec December 29, 2009 at 3:46 PM

I had to stop the video when they mentionned the girl was taking in 500 calories a day. My jaw just dropped. Don’t worry, I picked it up back.

And the moral of the story is? I mean what changed. The scam has not started, the scam is just rippling from the original splash since diet inception.

Someone mentioned the Kimkins diet to me on yahoo answers once.

AngelaRoxie29 December 29, 2009 at 5:42 PM

A coworker told me about the Kimkins diet, and gave me access via her account to take a look around. I immediately saw after reading the “plan” and food lists that this is a dangerous diet. Any diet that tells you to basically eliminate an entire food group is basically a starvation diet. If you have problems controlling your portions & having a normal relationship with food, perhaps professional counseling is in order. Otherwise, lose weight the good ole fashion way–exercise & moderation!

dietary expertise my ass… you know what most of your guys is problems is? not fucking drinking red wine and exercising… i mean come on… and then you might say its hard? well if you would eat right in the irst place maybe you wouldnt be fat…

spectrecross December 29, 2009 at 6:46 PM

either way thats so unhealthy.

spring1978ukma December 29, 2009 at 7:02 PM

The heart palps were from low potassium, which is caused from dehydration…which happens because of laxatives. :(

I hate scammers!

Don’t go crazy cutting out all your intake just get some exercise and the weight loss will come.

That is not true, punkmonkey123. You need more than 1200 a day to function properly. 1200 is the set point for a 5′ tall full grown adult to just -survive-, let alone thrive.

punkmonkey123 December 29, 2009 at 9:22 PM

You do know that your body needs 1200 calories a day to function, right? Like avegirl, I suggest you see a doctor.

AveGirl December 29, 2009 at 9:31 PM

If all you’ve been eating is 200 calories a day then I highly suggest you see a doctor. Even obese people can die of starvation.

KonNIOL December 29, 2009 at 10:11 PM

Pssssssssh. For the past 4 months, I’ve been having roughly 200 calories a day.
