SUCCESS STORY
Meet Derek!

***   Amazing 125 Pounds Gone!   ***

Derek Photo After Losing 125 Lbs!Derek Photo at 320 Lbs!


Height:  6' 2"
Start Weight:  320?
First Weigh-in:  300 lbs
Current Weight:  195 lbs
Total Loss:  125 lbs!!!
Start Pant Size:  50
Current Pant Size:  36

Read one of Derek's posts in the Kimkins member forums.  He's a true example of determination to make positive healthy changes in his life:

My name is Derek. I have been a [Kimkins] member here for a while now, but this is my first post.  Due to recent attacks against this diet plan, I decided I should at least share my story.

I began this plan early this year and lost the majority of the weight the first 4-5 months. I have since been at a steady 195 lbs now for 6 months.  I actually began this diet without weighing myself. Once I started noticing a big difference in my face and clothes, I purchased a new digital scale and it read exactly 300 lbs.  So unfortunately, I do not have a starting weight. My best guess would be that I weighed in the neighborhood of 320 or so, and have lost a total of about 125 lbs. I began the plan wearing a size 50 mens pants, and now I fit comfortably in a 36. (I'm 6'2")

Like I said, I hit my goal weight of 195 back in April/May and have been able to maintain it ever since. I eat 2-3 times a day, or whenever I am hungry. I still try to keep my carbs low, and occasionally eat something I shouldn't. If I notice a couple pounds on the scale, I go right back on plan and it melts off in no time.

I have not had any side effects whatsoever. I have *never* starved myself and always eat a multivitamin every day. I haven't weighed this little since I was in middle school.

Update 9/17/08:

Thought I would just post a quick update. My weight has not budged since losing more than 100 pounds last year. I am a gym rat now and really enjoy working out. If I don't go at least 4 times a week I feel lousy. My life has changed so much for the better, it's unreal. Here is a recent pic. Sorry for the quality, it's a quick cam.

Beef Tenderloin & Peppercorn Brandy Sauce

Posted by admin in Untagged 


Delicious Beef Filet & Peppercorn Brandy Sauce


Is there a more classic special dinner than steak (especially accompanied by a flavorful peppercorn brandy sauce!)  Not only impressive and absolutely delicious, but super fast to whip up.  Be sure to try this for your next important occasion!

Ingredients  (serves 2)
  • 2 6-oz beef tenderloin steaks
  • 10.5 oz beef broth, double strength
  • 1 oz Calvados apple brandy
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 shallot, finely minced
  • 1 tsp butter (not margarine)
  • 1 tsp cracked green or black peppercorns
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp chives, minced
Let steaks come to room temperature (about 15 minutes).  Coat both sides of steaks with coarsely ground black pepper and firmly press them in.

Melt butter over medium heat in nonstick or cast iron skillet.  Brown the steaks well, about 5 minutes on the first side and 3 minutes on the second depending on thickness.  Remove steaks to a heated plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Add brandy, swirling to deglaze the pan and dissolve flavor bits. Flaming the brandy is only recommended for experienced cooks and without children in the area.  Add beef broth, shallot, green peppercorns, mushrooms and heat on high until reduced 50%.  Check for seasoning, add additional black pepper or salt if needed.

Transfer steaks to warm plates, pour 1 tablespoon of brandy sauce over and top with mushrooms and chives.  Serve and enjoy with someone special!
