Blech.
Last night I went to dinner at the home of two-coworkers. One works in the intellectual property division of the University, and has done a lot of work in getting two of my inventions patented. Her wife is a director of one of the research centers at the same University, which pays part of my salary. Thus, it was incumbent on me to go, though honestly I like them both a lot and would have gone even if the politics of the situation hadn't demanded it. The dinner was in honor of another co-worker and her parents, who are over from China for Co-Worker's upcoming wedding. My boss and her wife were also there.
This sort of dinner party is the kind that could only happen in a liberal enclave like Massachusetts. Two same sex married couples, half the guest list cooing in Mandarin over the host's wedding album, and two heterosexual women talking about their own wedding plans. It was a great night.
Also great was the food, authentic Chinese, which happens to be one of my most favorite things in the world. In the time that I've been on maintenance, my daily carbohydrate allowance is around 70-90 grams a day in the form of non-white carbs, except for special occasions, like last night. Most of the carbohydrates were of the good kind, that is, vegetables. But there was also my bete noir, sticky white rice. I ate some, and boy howdy, am I feeling it this morning!
I repeat, blech.
But that's okay, you know? Because damn, that was some good food! And food is one of life's great pleasures, not the enemy it used to be for me and continues to be for some people, for instance, those who are at kimkins.com, desperately trying to follow Kimmer's dangerous Kimkins starvation diet.
Speaking of which, MJR has an excellent post over on Kimkins Scam. One claim by Kimmer and certain of her deluded followers is that Kimkins does not now and never has promoted very low calories and laxative abuse. MJR neatly disposes of that claim by providing an abundance of evidence to the contrary. Mariasol also has a nice post about how Kimmer, in one of her 'invincible moments,' lied to the California Attorney General. Honeybee has a hysterically funny post on Kimmer's latest award, and owes me a new keyboard because this one is now covered with coffee.
There are many, many such great blogs and sites on the Just Say No to Kimkins Webring, which I urge you to visit. Sites like Kimtanic, A Pinch of, and Kimkins Nightmares all are worthy of a nice, prolonged visit. A Pinch of has a wonderful post which explains how Kimkins by its very design imposes very low calories. Kimkins Nightmares shares her own story of how she was sucked into Kimkins, what it did to her, and what really goes on at Kimkins. Kimtanic has a very amusing post in which she introduces the captain of this shipwreck.
To round out your reading list, please also visit The Lighter Side of Bad Bad, a fake blog about a real scam. I'm off to drink a gallon of water to flush out the white carb toxins.

What a fun evening with interesting people. White rice with good food is great, and I also love fried rice eaten on its own. Certainly not Kimkins approved.
Thanks for the link :)
LOL a white rice hangover something only a low carber could appreiciate.
Thanks for plugging the ring and many of the antikimkins blogs.
