Diet Starts Tomorrow Diet Starts Tomorrow

Aleen is officially on maternity leave, so Sami is Back For Seconds with DST fan-favorite Jared Freid. They start out with a convo about how all restaurants are basically the same these days. Then, Sami asks Jared how he’s coping with all the extra exposure from the Netflix special, and they dive into the psychology of Internet commenters. Later, Jared tells a very DST story about a visit to Boca, and Sami asks how his parents would respond to him setting some boundaries.

On this week’s episode of Diet Starts Tomorrow, the Scoop Du Jour is Bebe Rexha’s pre-VMAs TikTok about not wanting to attend because she was feeling negatively about her body.

Finally, they share their Last Licks, and Remy reflects on her Golden Girls viewing sessions.

On this week's episode, Remy and Emily dive right into the Scoop Du Jour, a new TikTok trend where people edit themselves to be "100 pounds less" to use as inspiration for weight loss. They talk about why these A.I. images might be even more dangerous than the "thinspo" from our Tumblr days. Why do we torture ourselves with all these filters in the first place? Later, they answer a Dear DST email from a listener who had to attend a talk by David Sinclair at a work conference about his scientific work around avoiding aging. The listener was outraged by his advice to live on 2 meals (with no snacks) and a huge roster of supplements. Is she right to feel triggered? Would the audience's reaction have been different if it was a woman suggesting this limited diet? Plus, Remy and Emily talk about whether or not it's worth it to live such a restricted life, even if it does provide longevity.

Sami and Aleen are Back For Seconds, and this week they’re getting ~spiritual.~ Sami breaks down her recent reiki appointment, including who her “spiritual guides” might be and all the souvenirs she got to take home. Aleen talks about how she’s open to spirituality, but her first instinct is to find the BS. (Like, couldn’t the reiki healer have googled Sami??) Later, they delve deeper into their feelings around spirituality, religion, and why we’re here on earth at all.
