Is Angelina Jolie On a Low Carb Diet?
^^^Angelina Jolie picking up kids from school last week
It isn’t enough that Angelina Jolie has announced to the public that she does not, in fact, have anorexia. Now she has revealed that she eats plenty of foods - especially fried eggs, bacon and sausage.
Denying all the recent reports, the actress said that she has never been a fitness freak, and regularly eats fried eggs, bacon and sausages.
She has also been quoted saying that she doesn’t have to worry about her weight and can eat anything she wants.
The question is, does she? I doubt it.
Anyway, if one wants to get technical here (and I do), eating eggs, bacon and sausage only suggest that she can be on a low-carb diet. Those are NOT the foods that add unwanted poundage, so what’s the big deal if she eats them or not? Someone can eat those three items all day long and in fact lose a bunch of weight. (And trust me, I know, I’ve done it myself a few times).
EDIT: I removed all Kimkins affiliate links after doing some research. I guess I’ve been out of the loop lately - I had no idea that the owner of the diet was obese (yes, I had believed the Woman’s World before-and-after pics!), or that all this scam stuff had went down. I am very sorry for any confusion!

Who knows what (and if) she eats. Whatever she’s doing to herself is obviously causing major problems. The worst part about it is that she doesn’t seem to care enough to get healthy again…

My friend lost 5 pounds in a week on the Kimkins diet and she was pretty slim to begin with.
I just lost a little bit of respect for her (Angie, that is).

I think Angie is full of herself! If she ate like she said she does, then she wouldn’t look like a ‘walking skeleton!’ Most people with eating disorders are in denile anyway……………..

i dont think its the fact she doesnt care because she claims she is greiving, so some people greive in different ways…. but the fact that shes in denial about her weight lost and says she can eat whatever she wants annoys me alittle….somehow she does looks good though! also what do you have to cut out for kimkins it sounds good lol…is it healthy?

why can’t people except that she is NOT worried about her weight.
maybe she is anorexic but definitly not because she thinks she is too fat.

Actually, it is true for some people. I eat fried eggs, bacon, and sausages (no, I do not blot out the grease) and I’m still thin as a rail. I’m in my 30s and I’ve been doing this for the past 10 years. Soooo, I guess some people are just lucky we can eat all that junk and stay thin.

Out of curiosity Rian, did you keep the weight off after you were done with Kimkins? Did you have to add carbs back in slowly?

The thing about people who have a tendency toward excessive behaviors and addiction…they approach everything in life with that all or nothing attitude.
They will always have some aspect of their lives that takes on that ‘addictive’ quality.

SC, she probably does eat it raw, and fresh from the animal. It’s less processed when served that way and you are more likely to get a tapeworm.

Carina- why? Because she’s emaciated. And a mother. And trying to be some sort of “Role Model”. She should just know effin’ better. She’s not a kid anymore and it pisses me off that she’s raising a family and not giving a rat’s a$$ about her health. It makes no sense to me.

I doubt she eats what she says she does. It reminds of all the food Lara Flynn Boyle used to say she ate. (speaking of…does anybody know what lara is up to these days?)

I hope she isn’t, for her heart’s sake. When your body runs out of carbs and readily available fat to burn, it burns muscle instead - including those around the heart - and being on a low-carb diet just intensifies that. Angie is so slim anyway (whether it’s natural or intentional), I’d say it’s muscle she’s burning, not fat.
Nothing in what she said indicates that she’s actually restricting carbs - but it does seem to me that, in Hollywood, a very low-carb diet is seen as normal eating. So who knows.

the Kimkins diet is all about the initial water weight loss- you’re not actually losing fat, but the number on the scale drops a lot so you feel great….you can only lose a couple pounds of actual fat per week, your body isn’t that efficient with losing weight….as soon as you stop the Kimkins diet, the weight comes back….
sorry to lecture but i’m a nutrition grad student and the whole fad drives me crazy- it’s SO bad for your body!
By Karma on Sep 16, 2007 | Reply
Oh, and Nele- you don’t have to eat meat to go low carb. The whole “bacon, eggs and sausage” thing is related to Atkins, but there are other, healthier ways to approach the diet.
By Jewel on Sep 16, 2007 | Reply
Actually Kristen that’s not true. I have a biochemistry degree, and I know that when you eat about 20g of carbs or less per day, your body goes into ketosis and you have decreased appetite, so you end up eating under 1000 cals/day. People lose about 1 pound per day. After 10 days, 10 pounds are usually lost (yes, even if you are skinny to begin with). How is that water-weight? When you aren’t feeing your body too many carbs, your body burns fat for energy. It’s not safe to eat that way for the rest of your life, but for 1-3 months, it is ok. Sometimes, children with epilepsy are put on a ketogenic diet. It’s true.

LOVE the advertisement on the side with Angelina Jolie eating a strawberry with the words, “‘Are Her Lips too Big?” written above her. What I want to know is whatever happened to that beautiful, undeniably sexy Angelina? She needs to realize that she sure as hell is not being a good role model with her eating habits, or better yet, her lack of eating!
By Persephone on Sep 16, 2007 | Reply
pinot fino, i know exactly what you mean. Why can’t people keep the arguing fun.
Who cares if the Atkins diet works? For all the scientific research that you find that says it does, you find an equal number claiming it doesn’t.
I don’t care if Angelina claims she eats Crapdonalds and Pizza Hut everyday I think she is lying. A few weeks ago she was just too busy being a Hollywood martyr to eat.

I’m a little surprised that you continue to plug your “affiliate” Kimkins, when Heidi Diaz aka Kimmer is being investigated for fraud by a number companies and state agencies. A simple Google search will point out what a scam artist she is.
By Rian on Sep 16, 2007 | Reply
daisii, I once lost 11 pounds in 9 days on Kimkins. But it’s all a matter of personal taste - if you like lean meats and salads and eggs, you’ll love the diet. If not, don’t bother.
latrow, I don’t see how she could have scammed people. I joined her diet program before ever putting ads up, and I know from personal experience that it works - and well. She doesn’t promise anything on her site that she doesn’t deliver on once you join.
Had I tried her diet and had it not worked, I NEVER would have been raving about it like I do. But the real, true facts are: I tried the diet, it worked extremely well and I felt great. Never lost weight so fast in my life.
Of course I’m going to rave about something that worked for ME so well!
To the person who asked - when I went off the diet, I did gain back 3 of the 11 pounds.

Just like Victoria Beckham claims she eats three packes of crisps (chips) a day and all the other skinny women who insist they eat fattening foods. They’re liars.
By Spectra on Sep 16, 2007 | Reply
You can be anorexic and still eat things like Snickers bars and bacon and eggs. If you eat 3 eggs a day and 2 pieces of bacon and a sausage, that’s only maybe 600 calories. It’s all about the calories, not necessarily where they come from.
That being said, I like to get my calories from fruit, veggies, eggs, and nuts…I eat a LOT of these foods and I am pretty thin.

Wow, the cynicism and hate’s pretty heavy on some of these comments. Maybe she’s just not eating much. I doubt she cooks her own food “raw bacon” commenter. She’s always traveling, and I’ve heard she’s not much for cooking anyways.
The only thing is that it would be nice if she gained some weight. She looks pretty fragile at such a low weight.
By Maxx05 on Sep 16, 2007 | Reply
I don’t know that this statement necessarily means that she follows this specific style of eating. She may have just been using this particular meal as an example to assure people that she does eat and it just happened to be chock full of protein, but I’m not Angelina, so I don’t know. Claudia, though I don’t know whether Angelina is THIS thin naturally - there are naturally very skinny women out there that can eat what they want, not every woman is a liar, so rethink the attitude about this issue.

Sorry, jewel, you are incorrect, biochem degree notwithstanding. There are studies out there indicating ketogenic diets are safe for the long haul. There is no “1-3 month” limitation on very low carb diets.

I doubt she’s on a diet. I really believe all of her U.N. work in 3rd world countries makes her not want to eat as much. If you’ve seen the poverty and begging in person you’d eat less too. It’s not an easy thing to witness.

Haha thanks Dalton. You’re pretty much taking the same viewpoint as me….it is NOT harmful. And it DOES make the weight fall off. I recently read somewhere that 16 weeks of a ketogenic diet is safe, so I assumed 1-3 months would be ok. Basically I was trying to say that the diet does work and that it does cause rapid weight loss (not just water weight!). And you may be right (you probably are) that it is ok for the long haul.
By mander on Sep 16, 2007 | Reply
I wonder how “regularly” she eats that fried food and fatty meat. Anything is fine in moderation. If she’s eating that crap every day and relying on her low metabolism to stay skinny, it will still do damage to her health.

Jewel, we’ll agree to disagree, but one question:
you are seriously suggesting that people can lose a POUND of FAT per DAY for 10 days?
By Bobbin on Sep 16, 2007 | Reply
Kimkins is a starvation diet, not a low carb diet. Angie does look painfully thin, but I don’t think she has an ED. Steer clear of Kimkins, it’s nutritionally bankrupt, and “Kimmer” is a scam artist. Unless you want to give your $60 to a lying scammer…

Low carb diets are great but lets not confuse it with Kimkins. IMO Kimkins is not a low carb diet, it is a very low calorie diet that abuses ketosis in order to starve without hunger.
By noelle on Sep 16, 2007 | Reply
I think because in the public eye so much, she doesn’t want to admit she has problems, wether it’s an eating disorder or just not eating because of stresses in her life. I know I wouldn’t want to tell my prolems to the world.
I doubt she’s eating well though because I remember a time when she had a much healthier, fit body and your body doesn’t just change that drastically without doing something to your diet.

Hey Kristen,
No, I’m not suggesting that at all. Thanks for asking that question. I was saying that 10 pounds can’t just be water weight. I think it’s reasonable to say that 3-4 lbs of fat can be lost per week. Especially if the caloric intake is low (as it probably would be).
Agreeing to disagree is fair….everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion!

i wonder if having the baby messed up her thyroid?
it happened to my mother after me. she ate like a football player and still lost wt. she was also having the passing out problems.
plus shes never been heavy. i myself had to eat and drink a ton to gain. and to lose i ate what others would to maintain without exercise.not “health freak diet” food either. my heavy friends in school at the time were quite jealous. not everyone is suppose to be thin. we have to have variety for survival.

Kimkins is not a diet. It is a spinoff of a real diet called Atkins. Kimmer has taken advantage of several people by scamming them out of their money with false promises. The pictures of Kimmer are on the slamboard blog where she still weighs over 300 pounds. Kimmer has lied and cheated people are is going to be investigated. If you want to do a lowcarb diet, fine. There are a lot of FREE lowcarb support sites that will help you find a safe healthy diet. Several people have ended up in the hospital on kimkins. Even the girl that was in the magazine has denounced Kimmer. Do a search and find out for yourself.

Some people here are sometimes really delusional. I come from a “developing” country where the low-fat mania is just starting to hit. People back home DO eat eggs, bacon, meat, and also rice, bla bla and most people are not fat. Most are average, and then there’s someone who naturally a bit plumpy and someone who’s a bit too skinny.
When I was in school, we had one fat kid in the whole school. Now that the low-fat processed junk kicked in, am seeing more overweight people on the street when I travel back home.

Stephanie. Nope, I don’t have any children. But sure, I’ve got “issues” - We all do - some worse than others. I just think she is being irresponsible, that’s all. It’s her responsibility to get the help she needs, for whatever problems she is facing at the time, rather than acting like everything is “okay”. That’s MY opinion, anyway. Then again, maybe I just shouldn’t give a crap, right? Would that make me a better person? You tell me..

Maybe she does eat whatever she wants — some people aren’t hungry all the time and she could just get full quickly. Just because she doesn’t regulate what foods she eats doesn’t mean that she scarfs everything in sight.

She’s thin but she doesn’t appear to be malnourished. Her face still looks gorgeous and not gaunt.
I think she does eat whatever she feels like eating, but doesn’t have the time to eat much. Probably is one of those without much of an appetite. I can understand this, I’ve been through periods of my life when I just forgot to eat. It can happen.

I think she said that because she was on the spot and didnt want to fuel the fire. she probably eats almost nothing these days. I know that if my mother died, what not even a year ago? I think I would have a hard time at being perfect at life, and if she has an ed than its probably in full throttle at this point.

well then we know she isn’t doing Kimkins at all as Kimkins ia a very low fat and those are not the lean proteins allowed on that plan. looks more like Atkins if the rest of her meals are low csrb too.
