Heidi Diaz - creator of the Kimkins Diet<\/p><\/div>\n

UPDATE: October 29th, 2026, Judge Rick Brown found Kimkins Diet founder Heidi Diaz guilty of fraud and false advertising<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diet drama: This is what soap opera’s are created for. A few weeks ago, Kimkins diet<\/a> creator Heidi Diaz, who\u00a0made millions from her scam diet, which was awarded\u00a0the “Worst Diet product of 2026,” medal\u00a0was charged with a class action lawsuit in California. Former Kimkins dieters are claiming that this very low calorie\u00a0and low-carb diet caused them serious health problems and advocated for regular laxative use, which caused their health to deteriorate further. Lifetime membership for the Kimkins Diet\u00a0costs $79.95.<\/p>\n

Diaz\u00a0has claimed that her Kimkins Diet helped her to lose 200 pounds and keep it off, but recent pictures show that she either has not been able to maintain her weight loss or never lost weight at all.<\/p>\n

In an effort to stall legal action, she then filed for bankruptcy just two days before the lawsuit was brought against her. But Karma has a way of showing up in just the right time: the judge presiding over the case never received the bankruptcy papers and moved forward with the legal proceedings, therefore, anyone who has been harmed physically or financially from the Kimkins Diet can\u00a0seek damages by joining this lawsuit that\u00a0is now underway.<\/p>\n

All of this legal action hasn’t stopped Diaz. It looks like she has launched yet another diet scam – a new diet called Simple Choices<\/a>. The diet bears\u00a0an eerily\u00a0similar\u00a0resemblance to her low-carb, low-cal Kimkins Diet, but instead charges a monthly membership fee of $19.95.<\/p>\n

Here is the complete review of the Simple Choices diet<\/a> plan.<\/p>\n

Perhaps this is just another reminder that as idyllic as you\u00a0are about your weight loss goals, be suspect of any diet that sounds too idyllic to be true. It probably is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
