when is Kimkins not Kimkins

i recently discovered thanks to a commenter who was pro kimkins.com that many kimkins dieters do not follow the plan simply because they do not understand the terminology Kimmer used and are actually comsuming more fat then she advised. This could account for those who say they are healthy and losing weight while following what they believe to be kimkins.

In the diet it clearly says lean protein

lean protein is defined as less then 3 grams of fat per ounce of food so a 4 ounce serving of protein will have at most 12 grams of fat in it.

When one is making a kimkins menu that means using the egg directions of 1 whole egg mixed with 2 whites and then have 4 ounces of lean ham as breakfast would have only 11 grams of fat .

add chicken breasts bonelss skinless to lunch and dinner and for the whole day I have 17 grams of fat. Since Kimmer was promoting the salad spritzers as dressing and they are fat free even adding a pat of butter to the pan to cook the eggs and not a spray of PAM my total fats for the day are just 21 grams.

This is why so many bloggers are asking the folk who are not following the plan (such as DANA in my comments section discussing the fats in her foods) to please call their healthy eating plan something other then kimkins. Cause as we all remember reading Kimmers posts if your tweak it ( don't use lean proteins) it isn't Kimkins.

Thank you for clarifying the lean protein definition, 2big. This is what led to the Kimmer-supported egg white challenges.

During my 3 months on Kimkins, I tried to keep my carbs AND my fat grams at 20 per day. Is that nuts or what? Thanks to some really amazing low carb friends, I now know better!

Thanks for all you add to the fight to bring down the Kimpire!
