"Like millions of other desperate dieters, Donna turned to fly-by-night fads. After yo-yoing up and down, her weight did dip to 195. But it wasn't good enough for Donna, who at 5'6" yearned for a return to her swimsuit shape."

Notice "fly by nite fads", I would be willing to bet she tried some highly respected low calorie / low fat diets.
