25-Day Sweetgreen Challenge Shaves 9 Pounds — But Sustainability Remains Unclear

A New Jersey man, Tim Donahue, documents a 25-day diet consuming only items from Sweetgreen, losing about nine pounds while navigating the logistics of eating at the same chain for nearly a month; he followed a simple rule to stick to Sweetgreen menu items (coffee allowed), preferred the hot honey chicken bowl, and found the social and financial aspects to be the biggest challenges, noting the approach is not a dietary recommendation. After finishing, he had a pizza slice and felt sick as his system adjusted; his experiment inspired Sweetgreen to launch a 30-day challenge of its own.
