Tim Donahue Loses 9 Pounds on 25-Day Sweetgreen-Only Diet

25 days of eating only Sweetgreen left New Jersey creator Tim Donahue about 9 pounds lighter, after he cut his planned 30-day challenge short because weddings and work trips made it impractical.
Sweetgreen bowls proved manageable, he said, but the harder part was logistics—planning meals around store hours, skipping drinks with friends and letting dates with his girlfriend take a back seat.
Cost was another drawback: Donahue called the experiment "very expensive" and not sustainable versus groceries, even after saving money by avoiding alcohol and other restaurant meals.
Sweetgreen later embraced the idea, with co-founder Nicolas Jammet saying the chain launched its own 30-day challenge and drew hundreds of applications.
A first post-challenge slice of pizza made him feel sick, and Donahue said the project was a filmmaking experiment—not nutritional advice.
