Hoboken man loses nine pounds eating only Sweetgreen bowls for 25 days

Tim Donahue, a 27-year-old from Hoboken, ate exclusively Sweetgreen bowls (with black coffee allowed) for 25 days as a modern take on Super Size Me, losing about nine pounds and discovering a favorite hot honey chicken bowl. He says the experience was more about filmmaking and logistics than diet advice, noting the high cost and social/ lifestyle compromises, and while he felt more energy, he wouldn’t recommend it as a sustainable or universal approach. The experiment even inspired Sweetgreen to launch a 30‑day challenge of its own.
