Kimkins Diet!

Kimkins Diet Review: What Is It?

By: Graham Winmill

Kimkins is a weight loss plan developed by a woman named Kimmer. This was her response to the Atkins Diet.

This diet plan allowed Kimmer to loose an amazing Seventy Seven pounds in Three months and an incredible 198 pounds in less than Twelve months. Kimmer weighed 318 pounds in 2000 and in less than a year she weighed 120 pounds loosing 198 pounds, she has remained at that weight using the diet plan that she developed.

There are loads of people who have used and continue to use the Kimkins Diet and it has had a major effect on their lives. The natural appetite suppression of the low carbohydrate program means that you can loose weight quickly.

You do not need to alter your lifestyle or include exercise either, because of the natural effects this Diet Program uses it allows you the freedom to carry on with your life and not have to spend time exercising.

This diet program provides excellent blood sugar control making it ideal for type one and two diabetics. In fact, a lot of type two diabetics have been able to stop taking their medications after using this Diet Program, due to the improved control they have over their blood sugar levels.

Kimmer, the developer of this diet program helps users to loose weight by sharing her unique and inspiring experience.

One of the biggest factors for successful weight loss is accountability. The best way to ensure success is by documenting your progress. By filling out a journal or diary in your fight to loose weight you are constantly reminding your self of the progress that you are making.

With most low carb diet programs you are not usually hungry. Before you choose a low carbohydrate diet program make sure you choose one that engages you, the dieter. Loads of people who have tried low carb diets have either put weight back on or given up altogether. This is because the diet program that they have chosen has not sufficiently motivated them.

The kimkins diet program has become tremendously popular, overwhelmingly so. More and more people are using this diet program including celebrities such as, Beyonce, Lindsey Lohan, Jessica Allen, Paris Hilton plus many more.

Rapid and effective weight loss creates its own problem. This weight loss program is no different; there are issues with loosing weight too quickly so you need to be careful.

One of the biggest problems is the difficulty you have trying to keep up the continual changes in your ever decreasing size. This puts a lot of pressure on your wardrobe but it is one problem that successful dieters are happy to have.

Another problem that people highlight is the loss of appetite, and carries its own distinctive burden. This is when your body enters Ketosis and begins rapidly using your natural fat stores; your appetite is greatly suppressed because your body is busy burning the excess fat that has been stored.

If you decide to eat out at restaurants then you may find that people start to comment on how little you eat. It may be a good idea to order side meals instead of a main course. That way you can still enjoy the company of friends without feeling guilty.

Most successful dieters don't mind this, because it is better to experience these minor incontinences rather than carry around all of that extra unwanted weight.

Book of the Week!

This week's book is The Choice by Nicholas Sparks!

Travis Parker has everything a man could want: a good job, loyal friends, even a waterfront home in small-town North Carolina. In full pursuit of the good life--boating, swimming, and regular barbecues with his good-natured buddies--he holds the vague conviction that a serious relationship with a woman would only cramp his style. That is, until Gabby Holland moves in next door. Despite his attempts to be neighborly, the appealing redhead seems to have a chip on her shoulder about him ... and the presence of her longtime boyfriend doesn't help. Despite himself, Travis can't stop trying to ingratiate himself with his new neighbor, and his persistent efforts lead them both to the doorstep of a journey that neither could have foreseen. Spanning the eventful years of young love, marriage and family, The Choice ultimately confronts us with the most heart wrenching question of all: how far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?

Air Conditioner

My female cat, Vixie, for the past several months now, has been wanting to get out of my apartment. Every time we open the door, she's there, trying her best to get out. We don't know why. At first she thought maybe she was in heat, but she's not! It's kind of depressing, actually, that our kitty doesn't like us so much that she wants to get out and run away!

We have an air conditioner in our office room. Vixie jumped up on the window sill and pushed back the window guard things and started crawling out the window. I grabbed her tail just before she jumped out the window and pulled her back inside. It took me a while to get her back in, because she was trying to so hard to get away from me! But I finally got her back inside, and I tried to put the window guards back into place. That didn't work so well. After a few minutes of fighting with it, guess what it decided to do? That's right, it fell out of the window. Well, I felt like a dingy. But thank God we live on the bottom floor, or that air conditioner would have busted into pieces!!

So then I lean out the window and try to grab it to pull it back in--and that's not working, not at all! So I go outside and lift it up and set it back in the window. Thank God my brother-in-law Jed is sitting in the office as well, and he helped me put it back in the window and straighten out the window guards and everything. But it was certainly an interesting experience!!

Happy Tuesday to You!

Good morning everybody! It's Tuesday, and boy am I going to be busy today! I've got about 60 minutes of transcription I have to do, plus get Emma off her bus, find more neat stuff for you to look at here on The Bubble Bath, clean up the cat poo in the kitchen (I guess I should do that first, huh?), and keep Layla out of trouble (ha!).

Last night a few neighborhood boys knocked on our door with crawdads. We have a 55-gallon aquarium filled with river water and rocks and sand from the river, and a smallmouth bass named Peg. Well, these boys caught probably 20 or so crawdads and they knew our aquarium is filled with river life, so they were trying to sell us the crawdads. We bought them (for $4) and dumped them into the aquarium. Keep in mind that Peg has not eaten for a couple weeks now, so she is hungry. So as soon as we dumped the crawdads in, Peg goes crazy, and "inhales" a big crawdad into her mouth! Surprised the crap out of us, because we didn't think a fish could eat a crawdad. There were two tiny crawdads in the bottom of the bucket still, and Troy picks them up and drops them in, and Peg swallows them whole without a hitch. And then she goes to the corner of the tank and grabs the biggest one there is, and eats it, too! So now she's swimming around slowly with a big tummy. Who would have thought that a fish ate crawdads? And she's not that big of a fish, either!

Well, I will leave you for today so that you and I can get back to what we're supposed to be doing. Haha. Have a great day and I'll catch you later!

Book of the Week!

The Bubble Bath's featured book of the week is Sisters by Danielle Steel!

Four sisters, a Manhattan brownstone, and a tumultuous year of loss and courage are at the heart of Danielle Steel's new novel about a remarkable family, a stunning tragedy—and what happens when four very different young women come together under one very lively roof.

Candy–it's the only name she needs—is blazing her way through Paris, New York, and Tokyo as fashion's latest international supermodel. . .

Her sister Tammy has a job producing the most successful hit show on TV, and a home she loves in L.A.'s Hollywood Hills. . . . In New York, oldest sister Sabrina is an ambitious young lawyer, while Annie is an American artist in Florence, living for her art. . . . On one Fourth of July weekend, as they do every year, the four sisters come home to Connecticut for their family's annual gathering. But before the holiday is over, tragedy strikes and their world is utterly changed.

Suddenly, four sisters who have been fervently pursuing success and their own lives—on opposite sides of the world—reunite to share one New York brownstone, to support each other and their father, and to pick up the pieces while one sister struggles to heal her shattered body and soul. Thus begins an unscripted chapter of their lives, as a bustling house is soon filled with eccentric dogs, laughter, tears, friends, men . . . and the kind of honesty and unconditional love only sisters can provide. But as the four women settle in, they are forced to confront the direction of their respective lives. As the year passes and another July Fourth approaches, a season of grief and change gives way to new beginnings—as a family comes together to share its blessings and a future filled with surprises and, ultimately, hope.

With unerring insight and compassion, Danielle Steel tells a compelling story of four sisters who love and laugh, struggle and triumph . . . and are irrevocably woven into the fabric of each other's lives. Brilliantly blending humor and heartbreak, she delivers a powerful message about the fragility–and the wonder—of life.
