Kimkins pics: she's huge & has lost her hair

Find pretty much any diet system that leads to rapid loss (faster than
1
pound per week averaged across several months) and you'll find folks
who have lost hair. The number seems higher among low carbers but
I've never been convinced that the percentage of low carb fast losers
is
higher - More low carbers seem to lose fast than folks trying other
systems and I've never seen enough data on the topic to guess at
percentages.

Most of the time the hair grows back thicker or darker. The advance
of
gray in my beard got several years of reversal when I started.

Are these folks who see it not grow back? That would indicate some
problem deeper. Loss with regrowth just seems to be the hair
follicles
rebooting somehow. Loss without growth would be worse. So I'm far
more interested in what happened six months after the loss started
than what happened six months after the diet was started and the hair
loss started.

According to an ex-DIL, the hair loss is caused by alopecia.

Sheesh. This is going to take a while to get through all of this. I
followed it a couple of days back when it was brought up here before,
but didn't stick with it. It's become more interesting now with
pictures. Thanks for posting... I think.

According to an ex-DIL, the hair loss is caused by alopecia.

Alopecia is Latin for Baldness. The condition we call alopecia is an
autoimmune
disorder, where the immune system fights the hair roots. Not really a
lot of good
treatment options. If it's true, I feel for her (even though she's
probably most of
what her critics have to say). Alopecia is an embarrassing road to
hoe, and given
the lack of effective treatment (have been prescribed topical
steroids, a psoriasis
med, laser treatment, UVA/B exposure and a $500/month off prescription
immuno-
suppressant).

Kimmer remains a fascinating person. Like a car wreck or Lindsay Lohan
(like there's
a difference). Would be curious to see if Woman's World has any
response to everything
that's come out since their cover story.

Side note: How can a magazine, in this day and age, not have a
website?

Naw, it's WAY better than that.

You have a very charasmatic sociopath manipulating people in a cult-like
group vs. a bunch of irrational nutcases who just hate the heck out of her.

Currently, I have no life... so the Kimmer story is fascianting as heck
to me.

When you put it all together I can see how the story can be fascinating. I
just don't necessarity see why "kimmer" is, though.

I saw it as one of those....well, we're all getting entertained by the
sleaziest amongst us.

Reminds me of a classic American Success story. P.T. Barnum.

"There's a sucker born every minute." type of behavior leading to success.

It captures our imagination and spirit in some way.

Did you hear that Britney Spears was spotted without underpants again? What
is with that girl? I guess some people like attention even the bad kind.

I read up on this the other day and found it very
interesting, but had a different take.

What makes it interesting to me is the sadism and
submissiveness. If it was just about money, then any eating
plan or special food combination could be used in the ploy.
But to manipulate people into starvation, pushing the goal
of being SNATT (semi nauseous all the time --their lingo)
shows a special brand of sociopath. Likewise those who
would be convinced that SNATT is a reasonable means to the
end goal of weight loss would is a special form of victim.
Its seems very much more like a cult than just a scam.

To my view, that's way it all seems so hard for the rest of
us to understand their fanaticism.

What's wrong with going without underpants? I don't have a problem
with that.
