The NY Times health blog has a great article on 5 Easy ways of going organic.

“The key is to be strategic in your organic purchases. Opting for organic produce, for instance, doesn’t necessarily have a big impact, depending on what you eat.”

UPDATE 11/09: Kimkins Diet Class Action Lawsuit Filed

UPDATE:
Diets in review has received a rebuttal to our review from Jeannie Baitinger – Kimkins PR Director.

Dear Jim,

Thank you for giving Kimkins.com the opportunity to present our side of the story.

First please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jeannie Baitinger and on the website I am known as Tippy Toes. I am employed by Kimkins.com as PR Director and as management.

We know we are under attack from various sources. But many of these sources are coming from people who have only heard about our diets and have not actually tried them. The effect has been much like a snowball effect of people who genuinely mean well but are not actual members. Much is based on hear say and negative publicity.

Moreover, we offer no calorie limits on any plan. There are no 500 calorie per day plans. No plan is 100% fat free. We do allow the individual to use common sense when adding healthy fats and we term this as “just enough fat to make it work”. We do not promote starvation of any kind and we never will. We encourage members to stick within the plan guidelines and further, we encourage them to add extra protein and possibly extra salads if they are still hungry or not feeling well.

Participants on NBC’s The Biggest Loser all lose more weight than they ever thought possible. They get it off and keep it off using sweat, science, and full belief in themselves. Jillian Michaels is one of the most popular trainers from the show and now she has developed a weight loss program than can help anyone achieve their goals.

Exercise really is the key to success on The Biggest Loser, and it’s also the key to success with Jillian’s Weight Loss Program. Eating a healthy, balanced diet is very important. Jillian’s program helps you learn to eat right for your metabolism with recipes, food guides, and specialized information on your metabolic rate. But when it comes to losing weight, exercise is really what makes the difference! Online, participants can access printable exercises, cardio workouts, an online fitness diary, and a muscle manual.

Jillian knows that no one can lose weight and keep it off if they don’t believe in themselves 100%. Really changing your body, means changing your lifestyle and behaviors too. Online, program participants can chat with fellow dieters, check message boards, get inspiration from Jillian, and use the interactive weight tracker—all to help keep them motivated.

Jillian has already helped thousands of people lose weight and feel great about their bodies. Don’t you owe it to yourself to give it a try?
