A bit of background:
Bonnie Luper (aka Chicken Lady) started the Magic Chicken Diet website after losing a lot of weight by eating chicken 24/7.
Suddenly, the Magic Chicken Diet website disappeared yesterday. Guess the chicken lost its magic.
Now...here's a picture of
Hulon Pate from one of his MySpace pages:
In a comment posted on Jimmy Moore's blog (see link below),
Hulon, who purports to be Chicken Lady's son-in-law, explains
who shut down the Magic Chicken website (
Warning: it appears that
Hulon is not fluent in English, so bear with him):
Hulon said...
"My inlaws own and maintain a web site started earlier this year www.magicchickendiet.com . My mother inlaw, Bonnie Luper who lost a 165 in ten months.
By her own design, she invented a diest plan that worked. Her goal was to start a web site to help other people with a weightloss program that wasnt just,lossing a few pounds.
Her web site was taken offline by godaddy.com under pressure, from a complaint from kimkins.com, stateing that there were too many,simularities to there web site. The letter from Kimkins.com stated that there forum,has simularities and other ideas.My thinking is most buisness via web site in simular fields all will have simularideas, as far as being a diet program how could diet program not be simuluar,in all aspects.
It all started,when "yuckyyuck" posted a email to there website stateing something abouta possible lawsuit to magicchickendiet.com. Now this yuckyyuck guy, has done nothing but post on various message boards trashing the magicchickendiet.
Bonnie and David Luper, have done nothing wrong. There real genuine salt of the earth people. THey both grew up in fort Worth,Tx. Bonnie Luper is the real deal.
Her, weight loss story is 100% genuine. Kimkins on the other hand is by all accounts a liar, a cheat and a fraud. Manny on the message boards were stating that Magicchickendiet.com was kimkin under a new new name. Also Bonnie posted to manny of her, doubters about whos she was and that her and her website and diet were in fact real.
Shes never hid from any one,
Nor her or her husband have any knowledge of kimkins or her diets or any other ideas or content from her website. Bonnie and David Luperhad no one what so ever subscribe to kimkins.com or steal ideas or content from them or any one else.Bonnie is happy and proud to display her new found life style and bodyher purpose was not soley just for profit. There was a huge buzz on the internet about www.magicchickendiet.com, and I believe that kimers and her paid assosiatesare out to smear, the good name of hard working people, who have done nothing except put alot of work into a website and diet program.
Its taking thousands of dollarsand thousnads of hours to , start and maintain a web site. They started it whith the firts 200 memebers to sign up, for only 20$ for a full life time memeber ship.As of some time this fall they filled,there first 200 quota. kimkins is by far afraid that there lieing,and sorted history and current legal troubles, frombeing a fruadulant company. That real genuine article, a better product will take away from there buisness.
I can only feel Kimkins is leading this with money paidto various people to smear, somthing that is really working for many people. Trying to keep there online dominance, and keeping people only choice to be a completefarse of a company.
Bonnies only underlying reason to do this web site was to have surgery to replace her brest she lost 18 years ago to breast cancer.
MY name is Hulon Pate, im 33 years old and from West, Texas. I will not sit idley by and have some fruad, undermind what my wifes family have worked hard to start.
While some one like kim kin who has, taken good money, from people under false pretenses. Every one knows the day before Kimmers assesets were frozen she purchaseda house with cash money.
I just want you guys at Fox 4. That an injustice has been done and that, the bottom line is money, Kimkins knows that the New Year will bring, new years resolutions and a diet plans for millions of Americans.
Now the issue on message boards abroad have stated"why not do this for people for free"My simple answer is this, Bill Gates has made more money than hundreds of people could spend in a life time, why does he charge for Vista, when he could easilygiven it away to the world for free?
Bonnie Luper is not hideing, Her plan is working for many people, of all backgrounds and incomes.Shes had no knowlage of Kimmers or any thing about her ,honestly till news of her own doing{kimkins} came to light on the news,Bonnie never herd of her.
Kimmers and her people know, that she is real, and are doing everything in there power to stop,Bonnie Luper.From having a original, woking ideas, rise up from the ruins of there own lies.
Bonnie Luper has a succesfull Candle buisness, and doesnt have time or the capasityto do steal or rip off any one for any reason.
I hope Fox 4 has the courage to stand up to a organization, that has large resourses, to knock of the lilttle lady fromTexas, and her true story, that is really helping people.

Hulon, honey, be sure to reference both a dictionary and spellchecker next time you post. It would be very helpful in deciphering your comments. Ta!
Now,
Hulon's comments are very odd, given that Bonnie's husband, David, advertised the following on
