Up for sale a RARE! "Doctor's Quick Weight Loss Diet" Irwin Stillman Hand Signed 3X4 B&W Photo Dated 1973. 

was created in 1967 by physician Irwin Maxwell Stillman (1896–1975).  Stillman and Samm Sinclair Baker authored the book The

Doctor's Quick Weight Loss Diet that first advertised the Stillman

Diet in 1967. The animal based high-protein diet includes lean beef, veal,

chicken, turkey, fish, eggs and non-fat cottage cheese. Spices, tabasco sauce,

herbs, salt, and pepper are also allowed. Condiments, butter, dressings and any

kind of fat or oil are not permitted. Tea, coffee, and non-caloric soft drinks

can be consumed, but only in addition to the 8 daily glasses of water required.

It's also recommended that dieters eat 6 small meals per day instead of 3 large

ones.

The diet is a carbohydrate restriction diet, similar to the Atkins Diet (Atkins Diet encourage fat consumption),

although Stillman published his diet book 5 years before Atkins. Karen Carpenter began using the diet in her teens. Karen

was 5'4" and 145 pounds when she went on the Stillman Diet in 1967. She

eventually abandoned the Stillman Diet and limited her caloric intake

extremely. By September 1975, Karen's weight dropped to 91 pounds. In 1983

she died of complications related to anorexia nervosa. The Stillman diet has been criticized by

medical experts and nutritionists as

a fad diet. Physician Terrence T. Kuske wrote regarding the

Stillman diet: It induces a degree of diuresis because of the low carbohydrate,

but is a relatively unpalatable diet. Adherence to the diet induces fatigue,

nausea and lassitude or exhaustion. Long-term use of this diet, because of its

composition, may induce vitamin deficiency. Studies of individuals following

the Stillman Diet have demonstrated quite conclusively that it raises the serum

cholesterol, with its attendant risks.
