Former Kimkins admin turned witness for the prosecution Jeannie "Tippy Toes" Baitinger has talked about Heidi Diaz' use of "sock puppet" members at Kimkins. Over the past few days, former Kimkins member Amyb has shown proof that current Kimkins admin Singinglass - Delaney Deaver - has used at least one other name when posting at Kimkins. So, any real members left at Kimkins never know if they're talking to a real dieter, or just an alter-ego of Heidi's.
Sad, right?
Now, members of the low-carb community are buzzing about the possibilty that the Magic Chicken Diet and it's "creator" Bonnie Luper are just the latest parts of Heidi "Kimmer" Diaz' con game. While we know that Bonnie is a real person - who actually lost weight, unlike Heidi - the question remains: Is Heidi Bonnie's puppet master?
See, the Magic Chicken Diet ain't exactly magic. Starvation will cause you to lose weight - along with your hair, muscle tissue and your overall sense of well-being. But, unlike Heidi Diaz or Bonnie Luper, I won't ask you to take my word for it. Google the term "very low calorie diet" or VLCD and read the information for yourself.
Is there a link between The Magic Chicken Diet and Heidi Diaz - who is facing a class-action lawsuit and possible criminal fraud charges because of her actions at Kimkins? That remains to be seen. What we do know is this: The MCD is as nutritionally bankrupt as the Kimkins diet plan.
So, here's a word to the wise dieter - Don't pay for any plan online until you've had a chance to look at what you are buying. There are so many FREE support sites and doctor-approved plans that you can get for little or no money.
When it comes to online diet advice, you often DON'T get what you pay for. And you may pay a price that is far higher than the $70 Bonnie or Heidi will gladly take from your bank account while offering you a way to starve in return.

Great post, as always. There are many online diet plans, but these two (Kimkins and MCD) stand out due to not only starvation levels but that you are supposed to stay on them long term; several months or even a year. Other crazy "quick fixes" generally give a plan for 48 hours or up to 4 weeks, and you don't get harmed as badly from those.
Great post, thanks!

Great post.
What a wonderful sense of security it must bring to Kimkins members to know that their hard earned cash purchased not only the elaborate fraud that is Kimkins, the lies and deception of the site's founder, the multiple fabricated personalities of Heidi Diaz (as she has admitted to in her deposition) but now the added bonus of Delaney /aka Singinglass adding to the mix her own sock puppet(s).
How are members to know if they are confiding in, sharing personal information with, or maybe even forming bonds with a real person or a totally fictitious personality created by owner and/or staff?
Perhaps Heidi and Delaney see the act of supplying paid memberships with fake friends (or in AmyB's case ...though I suspect she's the only one... a fake foe)as a way to give their customers more for their money. Boy, KK is really proving to be quite the bargain, isn't it?

thanks for staying on top of the MCD connections and the Kimkins scam
