60: Major Diets We Regret Doing

Jo Sebastian
About this episode

There are probably hundreds of different kinds of diets listed on the internet, inviting you to “lose weight quick and easy” or “see results in 30 days! ", but many of them are actually pretty restrictive and harmful to your relationship with food. Jo and Elijah are here to share their experiences and learnings from different diets they’ve tested over the years, and which of them they really regret ever trying.

The Donut Box is produced by Anica Neri, edited by Paolo Halili.
