Funny, just this morning I was reading on Jimmy Moore�s blog about the Kimkins scam and how people were eating so few calories that their hair was falling out!

The 1800 calorie diabetes exchange diet made my hair fall out.

Any major dietary change can cause temporary hair loss.

Good morning,

Speaking of fraudulent modeling pictures, did you know that the before/after photos used for the Kimkins site were taken from a mail order bride page?

Some things never cease to amaze me….

Best wishes,

Barbara

Unbelievable.

I checked out the Snopes Before (Photoshop) and Afters. The lady in your pix above is thin, but not unduly so. She has some curves. But #6 photo at the Snopes site was not refuted by Snopes, and, in fact, I have seen this photo before. If it’s an actual photo, that poor walking skeleton will be an actual skeleton in the near future, with makeup of the funereal kind!

Pretty sad.

Those are nasty “thinspiration” photos. I have no idea why girls think that starving themselves that thin will improve their lives. It’s another one of those idiotic female contests I want no part of, the “thinnest in the group.” Only really insecure or crazy men want to date a skeleton, ladies, come on!

At 62 yrs old I’m convinced the <10% fat diet over the years resulted in the recent heart bypass. Standing 5\’9\

Hi Tom–

Looks like your whole comment didn’t make it through. You might want to resubmit.

Some of those models are pretty famous in the US and they’re not that skinny.

Ah, yes, the famous Photoshop Diet

From the Urban Legends Reference Pages:

The pre-Photoshop photos are at the bottom. Still too thin but not scary crazy thin.
