Rather than give up the junk food that she enjoyed, she realized she could remake such food into more healthy options.[1] She does not have a degree in nutrition or a similar field, but considers herself a "foodologist" because she is obsessed with food.[2]

In 2004 she started her company by creating the website HungryGirl.com. She used $10,000 of her savings to start the business and began with two hundred followers. Today she has over a million subscribers.[3] Through this free daily email subscription service called Hungry Girl she sends out recipes, advice and more.[4]
Media
She has a weekly column on Weight Watchers website and she writes for Redbook magazine. She appears on cooking shows like Rachael Ray. Lillien has a TV show on the Food Network and the Cooking Channel.[3]
