New Jersey man loses weight after eating meals from this fast-casual chain for 25 days
Key Points:
- Tim Donahue, a 27-year-old from New Jersey, ate exclusively from Sweetgreen for 25 days, losing nine pounds and developing a preference for the hot honey chicken bowl.
- The experiment was inspired by Morgan Spurlock’s “Super Size Me,” but focused on a health-conscious fast-casual chain rather than traditional fast food.
- Donahue found the logistics of eating only Sweetgreen challenging due to store hours and social situations, though the food variety helped maintain the diet.
- He noted the high cost of eating exclusively at Sweetgreen, emphasizing that it is not a sustainable or affordable long-term diet compared to cooking at home.
- Sweetgreen was inspired by Donahue’s experiment to launch a 30-day challenge of their own, while Donahue himself cautions that his experience is not nutritional advice but a personal filmmaking project.
