Her First Diet
If we take a look at her personal history, Karen first decided to lose weight not long after her high school graduation. She went on the Stillman water diet and she allegedly lost a total of 25 pounds during the entire ordeal. She received a lot of compliments on losing that much weight. This is generally regarded as the beginning of her struggles with dieting.
A New Diet
You are probably wondering what exactly the Stillman diet is. It involves eschewing heavily processed and fatty foods, but it did not completely restrict the person from eating. In fact, the plan calls for six small meals every single day. Regular eating is actually encouraged. At this point, Karen became fixated on losing weight and she eventually weighed a mere 90 pounds.
