Lawsuit Update
1) John Tiedt has now officially taken 2 depositions of Heidi Diaz.
2) John Tiedt has now officially taken 1 deposition of Brandon Diaz
3) We have learned that while Heidi Diaz was profiting from Kimkins through the Women’s World surge et al, she was also still accepting payments and income from SSDI and Medicare.
4) Heidi Diaz is still currently making money and still in business, however we have acquired new information that affirms the belief towards her concealment of assets.
5) We have uncovered evidence of more fraud and false advertising.
6) Brian Pugh is not an attorney, but he is an employee of Bert Cottle, and Brian formed Sharp Plumbing LLC, Halcyon Web LLC and the Beauchamp Trust for Heidi Diaz. John Tiedt plans to complete a deposition of Brian Pugh in the near future.
7) Bert Cottle has filed a demurrer that we are confident will fail. In addition, Bert Cottle has put in a motion to set aside the writ of attachment that is in place on Heidi Diaz’s assets. It is entirely up to the judge and she will hand down her decision after she has reviewed all of the court documents on 3/21/2008.

Smart Women ~ Dumb Choices
I was reading some of the truthful blogs about the scammer diet aka Kimkins this morning and shaking my head. I understand why some members bury their heads in the sand, I really do. If you are insulated in that surreal place where everyone cheers you on and supports you while you struggle with food issues it is so natural to lose perspective. And when you are super hungry every thought becomes a chore.
And when you might venture out to check out the other low carb support sites they can be intimidating and scary. Bulletin Boards take on a high school like flavor of the in crowd, the geeks, the kid no one likes, the bullies, the passive aggressives who pretend to be your friend, and it is so easy and comforting to scurry back to your safe haven.
I danced around a few places when I started my serious journey to health and fitness a few years ago. I lurked at LCF and always felt like an outsider, an intruder that no one would pay attention to. I still feel that way. But the wide range of opinions on things that matter to me in my weight loss journey helped me much more than a narrow perspective tightly controlled and choreographed. I didn't see it then but I do now in hindsight.
I avoid the playground with it's bullies, know it alls, posters with 50,000 posts who rule the roost and unconsciously or deliberately belittle. I focus on that which matters to me. I seek out the words of the intelligent, the kind, the successful at finding their own weight loss path and sticking to it or changing it as needed. The ones who have honestly walked the walk and share honestly.
Honest is not a word that can be attributed to Kimkins or to Heidi Diaz. No matter what tune she sings now. No matter how she is spinning the haters and liars. She is a bad person. She is dangerous.
I know many of the current members have found support in the membership there in spite of who runs the site. I hope they have found sanity in eating and have collected info so they do not find themselves lost without their network like the hundreds of banned.
There have been so many warnings of this but I think it bears repeating. It makes me sad.
OK some new links, thanks to WildAngel!

Kimkins Wins Naked Mole-Rat Award!
KIMKINS DIET
website
That's Heidi Kimberly Diaz, a/k/a "Kimkins" over on the right. (*Note to see pics from original article click here.) (The good-looking one is the naked mole-rat. That's Kimkins up above.) Does the petite and demure Ms. Diaz look like she's lost 200 pounds and kept it off for 5 years? That's one of the many improbable statements that have come out of her mouth (in between bites, no doubt).
The Kimkins diet has prompted a burgeoning horde of consumer protest sites by people who were duped by Diaz's fake before and after pictures, by her alleged serial lies, and by the propaganda that she herself had achieved fantastic results on the program.
I will not recount the whole sordid Kimkins deception here, as there are literally hundreds of blogs, websites, and forum posts which contain all you'd ever want to know and more. This article at About.com is a pretty good one-page expose' -- including claims that the diet is unsafe and destructive.
For reckless disregard of everything and everyone that stands between her and a fast buck, Consumerama hereby force-feeds Kimmer and her company this week's NMRoM Award!

Thanks to PI Robert Charlton
Many Duckies would be up the creek still if it weren't for the excellent work of PI (Private Investigator) Robert Charlton of Alliance Investigative Services who brought the world the first known true pictures of fraud artist Heidi Kimmer Diaz AKA Kimmer and a thousand other aliases.
Mr Charlton has stayed "behind the scenes" if you will throughout this long grueling ordeal but there are many of us who owe a huge debt to his superior sleuthing skills.
Were it not for his amazing work at putting the pieces of the Heidikins puzzle together with pictures and addresses many hundreds more victims would have thrown away not only cash but health following her evil scheme.
Please take a minute and read his blog and check out his websites.
Sometimes in the pursuit of a goal you forget those who help you move it forward. Mr Robert Charlton what you did was not only fabulous detective work but true to your craft you did it in the shadows. Take a bow please and accept the thanks of this blogger who will be passing your name and link to everyone I know in California (which is a heck of a lot of people) and I do hope I can send more work to you. Words are shallow but the gratitude of the diet community is yours.
Thank you!
Please check out this report on Heidi Kimkins Diaz' tax payment. Read about Mr Robert Charlton's private notes on Heidi Diaz surveillance and her sudden IRS donation. One can only hope she is paying forward her upcoming stint at the state run facility near her for her blights on society. Wonder how much weight one can lose doing jailkins?

Another Day Another Busload Goes To Banned Camp
A very good synopsis of the Kimkins fraud timeline
Confused by the long convoluted history that is the Kimkins diet scam story?
This site has an excellent synopsis of the time line.
Have a look and beware of Kimkins.
This site has an excellent synopsis of the time line.
Have a look and beware of Kimkins.
About.com Health's Disease and Condition content is reviewed by our Medical Review Board
2002 to December 2007
2002 - Heidi Diaz, under the screen name "Kimmer", develops her version of a low-carb diet on the Low Carb Friends diet discussion boards. She reports dramatic weight loss. Some people try her diet and discuss it on the boards. This goes on for several years, with a fair amount of controversy.
2006 - Amid much negativity, in June 2006 Heidi left Low Carb Friends and with a partner who later left, founded Kimkins a fee-based Web site.
January 2007 - An issue of People magazine features people who have lost a lot of weight. One of them credits Kimkins along with another diet. This is the beginning of attention to Kimkins from outside the low-carb community.
June 2007 - Woman's World magazine features Kimkins on the cover.
At this point, the Kimkins Web site explodes with new members, taking in over a million dollars in the month of June alone.
July 2007 - Controversy in the low carb community outside of Low Carb Friends builds quickly. Heidi does a public interview on Jimmy Moore's Livin' La Vida Low Carb Podcast, which brings her further exposure. Inside Low Carb Friends, a dedicated group of members has been working hard for some time to expose Kimkins as a scam and a fraud.
August 2007 - Anti-Kimkins material (mainly blogs) on the net are now spreading like wildfire. People are beginning to report serious side-effects of the diet, and controversy has ramped to a fever-pitch. Kimkins hires a PR director to help deal with the problems. Behind the scenes, we later learn that key administrators are seriously questioning the diet. This leads to them quitting or being fired in early September.
September 2007 - Kimkins administrators leave, including PR director Christin Sherburne, who later reports many symptoms including chest pains and low heart rate. A private investigator was hired to determine the true identity of Kimkins "Kimmer and photos are posted. A lawsuit is organized.
October 2007 - The story is broken on KTLA-TV (more details here, including links to video). Photos are exposed as fraudulent.
Also, as I had a guest membership on Kimkins I responded when Kimmer posted something false about my review. In that message, I warned members to be careful about their health (copy of that message here). I was banned 10 minutes later.
November 2007 - Heidi Diaz is called for a public deposition where she finally tells the truth about her identity, finances, and her fraudulent claims. Kimkins is discussed on a national morning TV show. Another PR director, who appeared on that show, left Kimkins. (More Details on All of This)
To this point, the diet is unchanged. There is no minimum recommendation of vegetables, carbs, or even food on most of the Kimkins plans. If followed to the letter, the option labeled "most popular" would contain less than 600 calories and could be much less. Most worrisome of all is that people would not necessarily know if their bodies were being damaged until it was too late.

Do you know this woman? Kimkins is using her pic!

Kimkins has been using her picture on the website and all over the internet. We know it is not Heidi Diaz and we know she used fake pics not only for herself but her before and after stories as well.
If you know this woman please contact Medusa on her blog!
Stop the fraud that is Kimkins.

Kimkins Lying Liar Admits She Lied
Heidi Diaz has had to admit in public and on tape that she is a lying liar who lies. Don't you love that phrase? I see it used in the same sentence as Kimkins a lot lately and it fits.
In case you haven't seen the latest check out the KTLA news report on Kimkins or as they call it Kim Kins .
Very telling.

More Kimkins Lies~Singing Ass busted in a lie!
Just when it appeared that the Kimkins fraud couldn't get any weirder it appears that the admin and loyal kimkins toadie Delaney Deaver lied on television and in print.
Now lying is nothing new to the kimkins way of life.
Kimkins fabricator Heidi K Diaz simply opens her mouth and lies come out. Admin. and PR Director Jeanne Baitinger aka tippy toes has learned from her boss and appears to make up whatever story will get her the most credibility at the time.
Poor singing lass Delaney Deaver has now also been caught in a whopper too. A few weeks ago she spouted off about the alleged death threats she allegedly had received over her role in enabling the Kimkins scam. Riiiight.
Check out YustYucky.wordpress.com for the truth from the Corvallis Oregon Police.
This just in! quote: “CPD has no record of Ms. Deaver reporting a threat. Please contact me if you have any questions.”
