Kimkins & Low Thyroid

Here's a case where Heidi Diaz / Kimmer may know what she's talking about. In a recent blog post, she reviewed the symptoms of low thyroid. (She lifted a thyroid image from here and her words from somewhere else but failed cite her sources. Figures.)

What stood out for me was the fact that the Kimkins diet causes all those same symptom, and the Kimkins Survivor blog is filled with accounts from people whose thyroids went bad while on Kimkins. Every one of the symptoms Heidi Diaz mentioned in her post were symptoms heard often from people who followed her diet.

Happy Father's Day!

We got my husband tennis rackets for the whole family - a gift that'll keep on giving! I hope you all had a really nice Father's Day.

Low on inspiration...

Gosh this battle is dragging on. There should be more court action soon, though.

I read a blog today from a person who posted a couple of weeks ago that they were starting Kimkins and were so excited. They posted again this week saying they'd lost 100 pounds in 5 months on Kimkins. Do the math. It's more lies.

There are so many Kimkins blogs popping up, most from made-up people, telling the same lies. There were two pro-Kimkins blogs with the same post about a grill fire, too. I'm weary.

Adrenal Fatigue Resource

I previously posted about adrenal fatigue here:

Do You Have Adrenal Fatigue?

Adrenal fatigue is a common disorder characterized by

• Fatigue
• Feeling tired despite sufficient hours of sleep
• Insomnia
• Weight gain
• Depression
• Hair loss
• Acne
• Reliance on stimulants like caffeine
• Cravings for carbohydrates or sugars
• Poor immune function
• Intolerance to cold

In addition to the resources I mentioned in that post, a kind commenter (thanks, Jacqueline!) pointed out another that seems very good.
