Dating Site Expels 5,000 “Fatties” Over Holiday Weight Gain

Put on a few extra pounds this holiday season? Don’t expect a welcome mat from BeautifulPeople.com, a dating site who recently made like a high school bully: belittling and booting members for weight gain.


According to the Guardian, the site has just expelled 5,000 members for packing on the pounds. To add insult to injury, the site’s founder, Robert Hintze, stated, “Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded.”

Apparently decisions were made based on photos posted to the dating site. Those holding the reins blame members’ holiday overindulgences for their harsh actions and have been notifying former members via e-mail of their expulsion. Of course, all is not lost; should those same members get fit again, they can reapply for membership.

The report details:
“The site’s managing director, Greg Hodge, pointed out that the fate of the exiled ‘chubby members’ had been democratically decided. ‘Their re-applications were reviewed by existing members and only a few hundred were voted back in,’ he said. ‘Over 5,000 were rejected.’
According to the site, however, managers have been kind in breaking the news to former members. Each is said to have received an email encouraging them to re-apply when they are back to looking their best. They have also been sent details of recommended boot camps.”
If you’re keeping count, the United States was the most overindulgent group of the bunch, with 1,520 members getting the boot. The United Kingdom was a distant second with 832 members ousted, and Canada took home the bronze medal.

Advantages of a Full Body Workout


Some people may choose not to work out because they think it will take up too much of their time, cost too much or they'll "bulk up." I'm here to tell you that an effective full body work out can be completed in as little as 30 minutes, 2 times a week.

It does not have to cost you your first born in equipment costs or gym fees and while you definitely will not "bulk up" like Ms. Universe, you can make a difference in your body composition, strength and toning.  (Read More)

What Is Kimkins?

Kimkins is a low fat low glycemic weight loss program. Lower fat than Atkins and lower carb than South Beach. We don't subtract fiber or sugar alcohols. No bells and whistles, the Kimkins focus is fast weight loss.






Do I need to Exercise?

Absolutely not! Cardio has many benefits including conditoning and muscle toning, it does relatively little for weight loss. If a 200 lb woman walked 2 miles she would burn 175 calories. It would take 3 weeks to lose 1 lb by walking. Some people actually avoid starting a diet because they dread exercise. With Kimkins it's a no brainer! Kimkins works fine without exercise. Like working out? Great! You'll find workout buddies in the Work Out Zone forum for walking, P90X, yoga and more!


Do I need to purchase each diet option seperately?

No! All of these popular Kimkins options are included at no extra charge!

Kimkins Classic: The original low fat low carb option
Kimkins Boot Camp: When you need quick results & portion control!
Kimmer Experiment: Ultra low carb option for jumpstarting your diet
Shake It Off: Low carb low cal protein shakes to make or buy!
Flex 1-2-3: A 6 day rotation plan of the 3 fastest Kimkins diets
Maintenance: The simple Kimkins plan to maintain your success!


Is Kimkins good for diabetics?

Yes! Our low glycemic food choices allow many members to reduce or eliminate their medications due to controlled blood sugar. Don't stop or alter medications without consulting your doctor.


Is Kimkins good for lapband or gastric bypass patients?

You bet! Many Lapband and gastric bypass patients find they still need diet structure to finish or restart their weight loss. Members join Kimkins after undergoing stomach stapling, gastric bypass or Lapband procedures and eventually getting stalled. They've found a home at Kimkins with our support community. In fact, Kimkins is identical to the low fat low glycemic diets recommended after weight loss surgery, including Lapband and gastric sleeves.


What is Bootcamp? Is it included in my membership?

Of course! Kimkins Boot Camp is our 14 day portion controlled plan that lets you lose super fast! Exact portions + daily exercise = you're gonna love your scale in 14 days!


How does Kimkins work for men?

Amazingly fast! Due to their naturally faster metabolism and higher percentage of muscle mass, men are especially successful with Kimkins. In fact, Derek lost 125 pounds and has maintained for over a year! Robert lost 93, Rick lost 90 and Tim lost 63!


How fast will I lose?

How quickly depends on current weight, age, activity level and sex, but many Kimkins members drop 5% or more of their total body weight in the first 10 days!


Will I need to buy special foods or supplements?

No! We encourage a good daily multivitamin with minerals plus any supplements suggested by your health care provider -- but that's it. Women may prefer to add daily calcium. Pure and simple. No extra pills, powders or gadgets to buy!


What if I don't havea credit card?

Please click here, choose your user name & password, then you'll be taken to the payment page. You can use any major credit card, eCheck or your Paypal account. We can also email a Google Checkout invoice to pay with any major credit card.

If you prefer to mail a check or money order, please send $79 to:

Kimkins
575 Calhoun Street
Corona Hills, CA 92879

Your membership will be activated the same day your check is received!

CHOCOLATE PROTEIN PUDDING
Makes 6 4-oz servings
 
12 oz water
3 oz light cream
1 egg
1 packet unflavored unsweetened gelatin
1 scoop 0 carb chocolate protein powder
4 packets Splenda
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules (optional)
1 teaspoon chocolate extract

Heat 1/2 cup of the water to boiling and pour into a heatproof medium mixing bowl. Add gelatin, stir well and let sit 5 minutes for gelatin to dissolve completely.
 
In a different bowl whisk the eggs together the rest of the water, cream, sugar substitute, protein powder, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Pour into 6 4-ounce ramekins treated with cooking spray or use silicone custard cups and you won't need the spray.

Place ramekins in a large flat skillet and fill with hot water to 1/2" from the tops of the ramekins. Bring the water to a boil. Cover tightly and simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove the cups from the skillet. Place small pieces of plastic wrap over the pudding surface of each ramekin to prevent skin from forming. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight until well chilled.  Enjoy!
