What's So Bad About Kimkins?

Following are some really good links that help explain what's so bad about the Kimkins 'diet' itself.

Maloney Medical Thyroid Weight Research

Endocrinological Assessment and Treatment of Weight Gain & Obesity

Effect of a high-protein, very-low-calorie diet on resting metabolism, thyroid hormones, and energy expenditure of obese middle-aged women.

Resting metabolic rate, body composition and thyroid hormones. Short term effects of very low calorie diet.

Energy-metabolism adaptation in obese adults on a very-low-calorie diet

Weight and Body Composition Management

So in summary, Kimkins is ineffective and dangerous - studies back it up!
