Hi Patty,

Tofu is a good source of vegetable protein and it is high in calcium. How good it is for you will depend on how you prepare it. You can find much more information at the following link:

Is tofu also good in diet? Can you just eat tofu instead of fatty foods?

Hi Tray,

Congratulations on your weight loss! That's great.

The Kimkins diet has several variations. Some of these allow only 500 calories per day. Foods include lean proteins prepared with minimal fat and vegetables are optional. However the entire day's intake is not to total more than 20 grams total carbohydrate. But if you look at their menu samples many of them are less than this. Even the Atkins diet allows 12-15 grams of effective carbohydrates from vegetables.

Being thin does not always mean a person is healthy. Your body needs the right fuel to build new healthy cells. The concern of many is that this diet does not provide what's needed to lose weight and maintain health.

I didn't know about this diet till today.But I was surprised.I have done my own diet for the last year and have lost 80 lbs.I have done almost what this plan asks you to do.The weight came off.I started at 232 and now 152 a year later.I do go off of it on occasion just so I can have some things I want.I call it a reward for doing so well.But I always go right back on.For me it will always be a way of life because my body wants to be fat,,,lol,,But I don't.It's up to the person on how dangerous it can be.Just cutting out sugar is a plus.You will lose a few just doing that and its good for your health.Cutting back on the fat is also good for your health,,so how can anyone complain about that.Just eat healther,and you to will see a difference.Do it for you and how you can,and you will lose some at your own pace.Good luck.

Hi Sherrie,

The non-fatty protein nutritional focus of Kimkins is limited to very low carb veggies, lots of protein and eliminates eat fruit, bread, rice, potatoes and other high carb foods. The real question is how many healthy foods can you eat?

The more I learn about this diet, the more I believe NO ONE should do it. Face it-- it didn't work for the founder, why would it work for anyone else? Even aside from the fraudulent business practices that are coming to light each and every day, this plan just isn't safe or maintainable. Keep looking for the right plan-- this isn't it.
