Remy and Emily are back with a new episode of Diet Starts Tomorrow — and they’re diving into the whole “shedding for the wedding” thing. Or is it “shredding”? In any event, they sat down with Amanda Pargament (@healthbyamandarobyn), a recently-married certified integrative nutrition health coach, and Sharron Paul (@sharronicanyc), a hilarious comedian and wedding officiant who just got hitched herself. They talk about the pressure brides face in terms of body image, weight loss, and even family dynamics—I mean, why did so many moms “weigh 100 pounds on their wedding day” after all? Of course, they have a lot to say about finding a dress you feel comfortable in no matter what, and why ultimately, fad diets just aren’t on the guest list.

On today’s episode of Diet Start Tomorrow, Emily and Lauren review a strange new trend on social media where people are joking about having just an iced coffee for breakfast or an espresso martini for dinner. What is the punchline here, people?? Then, they launch into a Food-Pinion segment brought to you by Impossible Foods where Lauren declares Impossible meatballs to be just as good if not better than regular meatballs. Sure, this is a branded segment but Lauren is prepared to die on this meatball hill. Finally, the two close us out by reviewing Sam Smith’s bold statement on the Met Gala’s red carpet about the need for more inclusive sizing. A clip of this moment was posted to the Everything’s Fine Instagram page and it REALLY pissed off some internet trolls (go to therapy plz, internet) but SZA clapped back at the fatphobia in the comment section. Thank you SZA, please come on the show, we love you!

Sam Smith And SZA Want You To Check Your Fatphobia

On today’s episode of Diet Starts Tomorrow, Lauren gives Emily an update on her return to the GYM. Even though there was some anxiety about working out in public as someone in a bigger body, Lauren was pleasantly surprised that people at the gym really couldn’t care less. Praise be. We close the episode out with Lauren reviewing her gym goalz which include improved mood, energy, sleep, longevity and more power when it comes to the bane of her existence, subway stairs. Turns out there are plenty of reasons to work out that aren’t weight loss; wish someone told us when we were teens!

Lauren Goes Back To The Gym

On today’s episode of Diet Starts Tomorrow, Emily and Lauren are so thrilled to welcome published author, lawyer turned journalist and Real Housewife Of New Jersey, Jackie Goldschneider to the podcast! She walks us through her many phases of restrictive eating habits which eventually led to a serious case of anorexia. Now in recovery, Jackie shares how she’s been able to better enjoy and experience her life while also commiserating about how it can be triggering to see many of her friends now making the choice to take weight loss drugs. Finally the three close on a fun game of “I’d Try It / I Don’t Buy It” when it comes to the current “wellness” trends. Thank you again Jackie for being so open and vulnerable! Check out her memoir “The Weight Of Beautiful” available everywhere books are sold.

Finding Food Freedom After Anorexia Ft. Jackie Goldschneider

On today’s episode of Diet Starts Tomorrow, Emily and Lauren are chatting about lipid panels and all the feels that come up when you have to get your blood drawn. Don't worry, according to Lauren's therapist, it's normal to feel like your 8 year old self when the needles come out. Then, they talk about taking vitamins and how epically confusing it all is especially for women in their 30’s who want to stay on top of their health. Finally, they close us out with a Taste Test of some allegedly nutrient dense chewable vitamins. (No, not gummies unfortunately.) Tune in to hear their reactions to what it actually tastes like to chew on some turmeric and ginger.

Do I Actually Need To Take My Vitamins?

On today’s episode of Diet Starts Tomorrow, Emily and Lauren discuss Billie Eilish’s recent interview with Rolling Stone where she talks about how she uses sex to decompress, either with a partner or solo. This leads into a discussion about the public's pervasive and CREEPY obsession with overanalyzing the bodies of pop stars. There’s a reason why Eilish is known for her oversized looks, and it’s not just because they’re trendy af. Nobody is off limits including Lana Del Rey, Selena Gomez, and even Taylor Swift, and let's not forget every millennial woman’s Roman Empire, the iconic tabloid photo of Jessica Simpson in high-waist jeans. Emily and Lauren talk about how this gave us all a collective sense of dysmorphia, and close on how it specifically has affected their own senses of self.
