It does not have to cost you your first born in equipment costs or gym fees and while you definitely will not "bulk up" like Ms. Universe, you can make a difference in your body composition, strength and toning.  (Read More) Buffalo Chicken Casserole Calories: 187 Carbs: 4 grams Protein: 20 grams Fat: 10 grams On a cold blustery day what's better than a hot-from-the-oven hearty chicken casserole the family will love!  (View Full Recipe) Ultimate Chocolate Protein Cookie Calories: 123 Carbs: 2 grams Protein: 23 grams Fat: 2 grams Each chocolate protein cookie has as much protein as 3 eggs!

What Is Kimkins?

Kimkins is a low fat low glycemic weight loss program. Lower fat than Atkins and lower carb than South Beach. We don't subtract fiber or sugar alcohols. No bells and whistles, the Kimkins focus is fast weight loss.

Do I need to Exercise?

Absolutely not! Cardio has many benefits including conditoning and muscle toning, it does relatively little for weight loss. If a 200 lb woman walked 2 miles she would burn 175 calories. It would take 3 weeks to lose 1 lb by walking. Some people actually avoid starting a diet because they dread exercise. With Kimkins it's a no brainer! Kimkins works fine without exercise. Like working out? Great! You'll find workout buddies in the Work Out Zone forum for walking, P90X, yoga and more!

Do I need to purchase each diet option seperately?

No! All of these popular Kimkins options are included at no extra charge!

• Kimkins Classic: The original low fat low carb option
• Kimkins Boot Camp: When you need quick results & portion control!
• Kimmer Experiment: Ultra low carb option for jumpstarting your diet
• Shake It Off: Low carb low cal protein shakes to make or buy!
• Flex 1-2-3: A 6 day rotation plan of the 3 fastest Kimkins diets
• Maintenance: The simple Kimkins plan to maintain your success!

Is Kimkins good for diabetics?

Yes! Our low glycemic food choices allow many members to reduce or eliminate their medications due to controlled blood sugar. Don't stop or alter medications without consulting your doctor.

Is Kimkins good for lapband or gastric bypass patients?

You bet! Many Lapband and gastric bypass patients find they still need diet structure to finish or restart their weight loss. Members join Kimkins after undergoing stomach stapling, gastric bypass or Lapband procedures and eventually getting stalled. They've found a home at Kimkins with our support community. In fact, Kimkins is identical to the low fat low glycemic diets recommended after weight loss surgery, including Lapband and gastric sleeves.

What is Bootcamp? Is it included in my membership?

Of course! Kimkins Boot Camp is our 14 day portion controlled plan that lets you lose super fast! Exact portions + daily exercise = you're gonna love your scale in 14 days!

How does Kimkins work for men?

Amazingly fast! Due to their naturally faster metabolism and higher percentage of muscle mass, men are especially successful with Kimkins. In fact, Derek lost 125 pounds and has maintained for over a year! Robert lost 93, Rick lost 90 and Tim lost 63!

How fast will I lose?

How quickly depends on current weight, age, activity level and sex, but many Kimkins members drop 5% or more of their total body weight in the first 10 days!

Will I need to buy special foods or supplements?

No! We encourage a good daily multivitamin with minerals plus any supplements suggested by your health care provider -- but that's it. Women may prefer to add daily calcium. Pure and simple. No extra pills, powders or gadgets to buy!

What if I don't havea credit card?

Please click here, choose your user name & password, then you'll be taken to the payment page. You can use any major credit card, eCheck or your Paypal account. We can also email a Google Checkout invoice to pay with any major credit card.

CHOCOLATE PROTEIN PUDDING

Makes 6 4-oz servings

 

12 oz water
3 oz light cream
1 egg
1 packet unflavored unsweetened gelatin
1 scoop 0 carb chocolate protein powder
4 packets Splenda
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules (optional)
1 teaspoon chocolate extract

Heat 1/2 cup of the water to boiling and pour into a heatproof medium mixing bowl. Add gelatin, stir well and let sit 5 minutes for gelatin to dissolve completely.

 

In a different bowl whisk the eggs together the rest of the water, cream, sugar substitute, protein powder, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Pour into 6 4-ounce ramekins treated with cooking spray or use silicone custard cups and you won't need the spray.

Place ramekins in a large flat skillet and fill with hot water to 1/2" from the tops of the ramekins. Bring the water to a boil. Cover tightly and simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove the cups from the skillet. Place small pieces of plastic wrap over the pudding surface of each ramekin to prevent skin from forming. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight until well chilled.  Enjoy!

Are you ready to take the plunge for Lapband or other bariatric surgery?  Reputable surgeons and insurance company will require you to lose weight first.  They'll want you to demonstrate that you can follow a weight loss program successfully and be a successful patient. 

 

You're in luck because Kimkins can help!  Our Kimkins Classic, Boot Camp and Shake It Off diet plans are virtually identical to the post-surgical diet your surgeon will want you to follow.  You can get a head start now and impress your surgeon with the fact that you're choosing low fat low carb foods now -- or you might lose so quickly with Kimkins that you skip surgery!

Lapband, gastric sleeve and stomach stapling aren't 100% cures for obesity.  You'll still need to do your part with healthy food choices and dedication to achieving weight loss.  Beware that you can still cheat after bariatric surgery.  Milkshakes, candy, sugary cereal, alcoholic drinks, mashed potatoes and cheese still go down smooth as silk.  A permanent lifestyle change is absolutely necessary!

 

Kimkins has plans that are virtually identical to Lapband and bariatric post-surgical diets:

•     Shake It Off            Store bought or homemade low carb protein shakes
•     Boot Camp              14 day sessions of portion control & exercise
•     Kimkins Classic      Similar to Boot Camp choices plus yogurt & cheese

And they're all included FREE in your Kimkins Lifetime Membership.  Not another penny.  Ever.  Or pick our popular month-to-month option for just $19 to start!

Kimkins member, Robin, had stomach stapling over 10 years ago.  After a few years she started falling back on high calorie favorites she was still able to eat easily. Dee needed her Lapband removed due to complications -- then joined Kimkins to lose 125 pounds!  If you've already had Lapband and the pounds are creeping back on, then let Kimkins help.  Many Kimkins members have undergone banding or stapling and you'll be among friends.  You'll interact with people just like you who understand what you're going through.

If you're on the fence about Lapband or other weight loss operations you might find that you lose just as quickly with Kimkins and pass on surgery.  And remember you'll naturally lose your appetite in 3-5 days if you follow Kimkins strictly.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL PROTEIN SHAKE    Serves 1

For hectic mornings or a refreshing shake after a workout here's a quick protein meal in a glass!  Perfect for special evening treat if you're doing the Kimkins Shake It Off plan. 

• 1 scoop chocolate caramel protein powder
• 8 oz diet chocolate soda or cold water
• 1 tablespoon light cream or half & half
• 1 teaspoon chocolate extract
• 1 packet artificial sweetener
• 8-10 ice cubes or 2 cups crushed ice

In a portable smoothie maker add all ingredients and blend on HIGH until desired consistency. Enjoy a quick & delicious high protein breakfast!

Rick lost 64 Pounds!

Wanted Atkins, picked Kimkins.

    "I already knew all about low carb dieting, having lost 60 pounds in 2004 on Atkins. Unfortunately, I gained 40 of it back by eating the wrong types and amounts of low-carb and no so low carb foods. I was looking to get new information on Atkins and found Kimkins. I joined a challenge group and have lost almost 40 pounds in 3 months."

Thinking about weight loss surgery? Why not try a Kimkins where you can lose fat just as fast without surgery -- or expense? Kimkins works! No expensive prepackaged foods, pills or supplements to buy. Kimkins is a supercharged 100% online internet diet. No driving to meetings, no babysitters, no public weigh-ins.

KIMKINS IS DIFFERENT: We�re a low fat low carb weight loss diet. Lower fat than Atkins, lower carb than South Beach -- the Kimkins focus is pure fast weight loss.

LAPBAND� & WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY: Many LAPBAND� and weight loss surgery patients still need diet guidance and support to finish their weight loss. In fact, the Kimkins diet is identical to the diets recommended by bariatric surgeons!

KIMKINS BOOT CAMP: Our 14 day portion controlled plan lets you lose super fast! Exact portions + daily exercise = you're going to love your scale in 14 days! Free with all paid Kimkins membership plans.

EXERCISE: None needed! Cardio is great for toning, but doesn�t do much for weight loss. If a 200 lb woman walked 2 miles she would only burn 175 calories. That's 3 weeks to lose only 1 pound. Some people actually avoid starting a diet because they dread exercise.

Easy Ways to Curb Hungeritis!

Ever noshed on cheese curls till your lips were Day-Glo orange? Eaten a pint of ice cream when you weren't even that hungry? Snarfed down a stale Snickers bar from two Halloweens ago, after a four-alarm hunt for chocolate? I have. But — whew — I've also found a few things that dull intense cravings long enough for them to pass. And for me to regain a shred of dignity. Try these.

Pop in a mint mouthwash strip. Not only will it make your breath zingy but the flavor seems to erase the taste for sweets. (Brushing your teeth works too but requires a handy sink.)

Take an 8-minute walk. If being mad or sad sends you digging for chocolate, what you may really be craving is serotonin, a brain chemical linked to better moods. Go outside and take a short walk. Scientists say even 8 minutes of fresh air and activity help boost serotonin, so you can skip that chocolate fix.

Chew some gum, chum. A British study has found that people who chew gum 15 minutes after eating lunch crave fewer sweets, and eat fewer snacks, than people who don't. (The type of gum — sugar-free or not — doesn't matter, except to your dentist.)

Try a different kind of chip. When you want the potato kind, reach for a dill pickle chip instead. You get salty, you get crunchy, your mouth gets all puckery-cool, your taste buds snap to attention...and three chips are only 5 calories. Yes, 5! You really could eat the whole jar.

Here's the kicker. Cravings can do in otherwise healthy diets. If curbing them means you maintain your weight and body mass index at a desirable level, it can make your real age as much as 6 years younger. Now that's worth craving.

Kimkins Sample Menu and Back on Track!

Are you ready to get back on track with your diet? Is your weight loss stalled? Are you looking for a cheap internet diet that works?

Read this note from Kimkins member, Abby, at Kimkins on Facebook, who's restarting her Kimkins diet plan to lose belly fat after pregnancy.

Abby writes:

"I started your fabulous diet plan back in 2007, but got pregnant & had to stop. I had lost 50 lbs in just 3 months & was thrilled!

I jumped back on plan in January of this year & dropped 20 lbs, but just lost my motivation somewhere. I think the addition of a second child was just more than I expected.

I am trying so hard to get back on track, but just cannot seem to find it in me for some reason. I need every bit of support I can get because I KNOW this works for me & it is SO easy if I can just find the willpower!

I am tipping my scale at 240 lbs now, an all time high for me, any tips for really getting motivated?

Kimmer's reply:

"... Your best motivation will come from quick weight loss. Promise yourself that you'll be STRICT for 14 solid days (including weekends). You can do anything for 14 days -- come on and commit!

1) Login at the Kimkins site and see the new sample menus for each diet plan. The menus are very simple on purpose -- our members told us they wanted SIMPLE because everyone's busy with family, jobs & kids and everything in between.

2) Choose the Kimkins diet plan you want to try. I'd suggest Kimkins Classic with allows unlimited protein. We're getting excellent feedback about the new Kimkins Flex 1-2-3 plan which alternates our most popular diets: K/E, Kimkins Boot Camp and Shake It Off and gives quick weight loss. We've got recipes for homemade protein shakes to make it quick! Try this recipe for Chocolate Caramel Protein Shake

3) Read How Emily Does Kimkins and see how "she" plans a week of meals, what food she buys and gets the cooking done in 1 hour (the cooking is 1 hour!)

4) Print out the Kimkins Shopping List so you can stock up on chicken, fish, turkey, eggs, fresh veggies and low calorie drinks. If you're cooking for a family plan dinner around Kimkins protein and veggies, then add starches for them.

Get friends to lose with you! They can join at Kimkins and you can motivate each other.

5) Join 1 or 2 Kimkins challenge groups that fits your personality and goals. Try a 30-in-30, one for new moms or try mine, Kimmer's Pinky Swear ..."

Get a few friends to join Kimkins with you -- the best built in diet motivation and fun!

Lost 95 lbs for her 40th birthday and wearing size 3/5!

Beth

Age: 39

Starting Weight: 228

Final Weight: 133

Total Loss: 95 and still losing

How Long: 40 weeks

Lost 95 lbs for her 40th birthday and wearing size 3/5!

For several years, I used to lie in bed (after a late-night snack, of course) and wish and pray and imagine that somehow, some way I could lose a lot of weight and look and feel great again. You know, show up at a party not having to be the funny one or be the one who will sing at karaoke (although that is really, really cool). I wished I could walk into a room not being self-conscious of my weight and appearance and have people go, “Wow! Who is that?”

Summer 2007. 5’5” and 228 pounds. Grumpy, grouchy, frumpy and dumpy. I was 38 years old with 3 young boys (7, 5 and 3) and married to a handsome, fit-looking stud. For at least 5 years...read more here

Delicious Cauliflower -- Who Knew?

Try these low fat Kimkins friendly comfort foods courtesy of the underrated star of the vegetable world -- cauliflower!

Cauliflower is cruciferous (a cancer fighting pal) along with its distant cousins broccoli, cabbage and brussel sprouts. Overcooking these nutrient dense morsels not only alters vitamins and minerals, but entirely changes their taste -- not to mention the horrid kitchen odors!

You're sure to find high fat variations of these, but we've adapted these favorites with calories in mind. Even in low carb dieting, calories do count....read more here

Total Loss on Kimkins “so far”: 83 lbs
How Long: Since July 2007 (I’ve had ups and downs)

Hi - My name is Debbie (a.k.a. mdsqueen) and I’m a carboholic, chocoholic, food junkie. I’ve battled my weight for as long as I can remember.

My earliest memory of weight issues is from 5th grade (maybe 10 or 11 years old). I remember feeling embarrassed as I was the heaviest kid in my class at 92 pounds. Gee, 2 years ago 92 pounds is probably what my left thigh weighed! I remember going on “diets” as a teen with my mom. I remember being embarrassed...read more here
