What the definition of Slander?
A type of defamation. Slander is an untruthful oral (spoken) statement about a person that harms the person’s reputation or standing in the community. Because slander is a tort (a civil wrong), the injured person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false statement. If the statement is made via broadcast media — for example, over the radio or on TV — it is considered libel, rather than slander, because the statement has the potential to reach a very wide audience.

What the definition of Libel?
An untruthful statement about a person, published in writing or through broadcast media, that injures the person’s reputation or standing in the community. Because libel is a tort (a civil wrong), the injured person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false statement. Libel is a form of defamation , as is slander (an untruthful statement that is spoken, but not published in writing or broadcast through the media).

What is Defamation of Character?
A false statement that injures someone’s reputation and exposes him to public contempt, hatred, ridicule, or condemnation. If the false statement is published in print or through broadcast media, such as radio or TV, it is called libel. If it is only spoken, it is called slander.

Now this has gone way beyond a few choice comments and actions.
I would advice Mr. Moore see an attorney to put a stop to this.

One thing you said though has me baffled….you said you have stuck your neck out and it has nearly been chopped off. You make it sound like you have done this and are following Kimkins as a favor to Kimmer and are now asking for the verbal support of the members. I was under the impression you did this for you. To lose that last bit of weight. If this is true you have stuck your neck out for yourself right? Or was this all just a tactic to get more people to your site like some say? Sounds like this “feud” maybe more than anyone bargained for or wanted on either side. Name calling, lies, assumptions, on both sides it is all so sad.

People should do what they are comfortable with in every aspect of their lives. Adults should be left alone to do as they wish with their own bodies. And don’t try to turn that statement into “what about drugs” or something like that. This is a diet, not gonna get in a car and go run over someone. Before anyone comes back with kids bla bla bla, she has clearly stated Kimkins is NOT for kids or teenagers.

To those who are on the “other” site….if all this (Kimkins/Jimmy Moore) bothers you, just stop reading it and stop coming here and to Kimkins.

To those on Kimkins, I say the same thing goes for you. Stay away from the “other” site unless you enjoy being upset.

Definately, leave the drama out of Kimkins site.

Just my 2 cents.

This isn’t anorexia — anorexics are not healthy by any markers! If Kimmer were saying that we could eat as many calories as we wanted and still get results, people would be thrilled about it. But she’s saying that you have to make intelligent choices and be picky about where your calories come from (which is also what Dr. Atkins said in his first book), and that seems to offend people.

Think about it: any low-carb diet is telling you that where your calories come from matters! Otherwise, they wouldn’t be telling you to restrict carbs! So why is it so offensive to people that Kimmer is saying that the source of your calories matters, as does the quantity — and basic math dictates that taking in fewer calories will result in accelerated weight loss!

Why is it healthier to force myself to eat a higher number of calories, if I’m genuinely not hungry?

500 to 580 calories a day? You’re proud of that?

EXCELLENT web site, by the way! Keep up the fantastic work you are doing.

His words

1. You can’t stay on them long-term because you are constantly hungry.

2. Your food choices are very limited and are mostly disgusting imitations of the real thing.

3. It is commonly heralded by the media, government and medical professionals as the only way to lose weight and get healthy.

4. You consume way too much sugar and salt in the foods you eat on a low-fat diet.

5. You don’t lose as much fat mass on a low-fat diet.

6. Low-fat diets have been scientifically proven to make you fatter!

7. It has failed to provide people with a permanent way to maintain their weight over the long haul.

8. I don’t know anyone who has lost a lot of weight and kept it off on a low-fat diet.

9. I didn’t like the way I felt when i was low-fat dieting because I lacked concentration and energy.

10. DID I MENTION YOU STARVE ON A LOW-FAT DIET?!?!?!?!?!

Do you mean the two pages in the chapter about Metabolic Resistance?

Let’s see…

“Let me make it clear that the Fat Fast is actually dangerous for anyone who is not metabolically resistant. For people who lose weight fairly easily, the rate of weight loss is too rapid to be safe. But it carries very little risk for people who can barely lose on any other regimen.”

“I ask them to try the regimen for four or five days to see if they acheive what the Fat Fast is capable of doing - weight loss, curbed appetite, positive lypolisis testing strips and improved well-being.”

“Next you can try four meals a day of roughly 300 calories for a total of 1200 calories.”

“Try the 1200-calorie regimen for a week, then go back to Induction.”

Not even close to what “Kimmer” is preaching as the rational for her “diet” (starvation).

We are encouraged to change our eating patterns—not resort to water fasting and laxative use of those with eating disorders such as Kimmer kerself recommends.

You know…your time would be much better spent doing some “real” research. Why don’t you READ what Dr. Atkins wrote in his Fat Fast chapter, the one in the 1992 edition of his book, and then come back and tell us what his Number 1 and Number 2 suggestions were for those of us who have gotten stuck part-way to our goal?

As for the Kimmer Interview here, I greatly enjoyed it, and am very, very grateful to the person who typed it all up since I can’t “listen” to the podcast, due to my dial-up connection.

I started my own version of Kimkins on June 1st, 2007, and even though I am not losing weight at the warp speeds that so many others are, I have lost 21-1/2 pounds in the last 7 weeks. For me, with my health issues and physical limitations, that is phenomenal.

There will always be those who take things to the extreme on “any” diet. That’s just how it is. I am soooo glad to see the rules spelled out in the Interview as clearly as they were — because they really are a matter of private, personal interpretation and adaption.

Thanx again Jimmy

No interference from Kimmer, no conspiracy.

Also, in his defense, Jimmy is very well known in low-carb circles, and I don’t think Walter Cronkite is coming out of retirement to interview Kimmer just yet.

Apparently so well known that even attract the crazies know who you are and listen to your show (or at least pretend they did).

Isn’t this supposed to be the starvation diet that you can use to starve away the decades?

People who have nothing to hide, do not continue to hide.

I can’t wait for the next interview.
