Listening to this show is like hanging out with friends! The topics are educational but also pop culturey and so funny. I need more episodes with Lauren and Emily!!

I got halfway through the baking episode and was like Sarah sounds so familiar, then realized it was my favorite dessert recipe blogger/youtuber Sarah Fennel of Broma Bakery! So exciting and so nice to learn more about her baking journey.

I will pay for you guys to re-record the protein bar ad and have Lauren say “Reese-IZ” the correct way 🤣🤣

I love this podcast. The hosts are wonderful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi! I started listening way back when with the original hosts when it was Diet Starts Tomorrow. I must say, this newest version of the pod with Lauren and Emily is my favorite. It’s funny, relatable and informative (esp loved the sunscreen episode), all while smashing diet culture. Keep it coming...Read full review »

I’ve been a DST listener since the beginning but over time the content has shifted and no longer resonates with me. I miss the days of Sami and Aleen. Just not for me anymore!

I enjoy listening! And I nearly always learn a tip-bit. Cheers x

The updated name without the word diet is what convinced me to give this podcast a chance and I’m so happy I did. It’s great to hear these relatable and intelligent conversations about the experiences of being in different bodies when we get so many different messages about how we’re supposed to...Read full review »

I started listening to DST a few months ago. I wasn’t crazy about it but when I went back to older episodes with Emily and Remi I really loved them. Lauren means well but she says nothing of substance, and they’ve completely lost any credibility with regards to the science around weight and the...Read full review »

I don’t really know where to begin. I started listening a little over a year ago and immediately felt like these lovely humans are able to articulate a lot of the feelings I have had over my life about my body issues, my disordered eating, and just my lack of confidence overall. I loved Remy and...Read full review »

I started listening to (then called) DST when Sami and Aleen hosted and I was deep into diet culture. So happy to have grown and evolved with the show and new hosts Lauren and Emily. They’re a breath of fresh air I look forward to the eps every week!! Every episode has something relevant AND...Read full review »

Ads for Impossible Foods? Stop trying to pretend this is “healthy”. And then we have Emily’s rant about how a discussion on whether a ravioli is like a dumpling is pointless. You know what is pointless? Ten minutes of that on this podcast. And two grown women not knowing how to pronounce Vichy...Read full review »

How do you plan to refund the subscription fee paid when premium content is no longer provided? I paid for a subscription as a fan of Aleen and Sami.
KristenWhite via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/24
As a healthcare provider this show is a TOUGH listen now. There are so many flaws with diet culture, yes. However, this podcasts’ failure to acknowledge that millions of Americans DO need to lose weight to prevent premature death or serious morbidity misses a crucial part of health and wellness....Read full review »

They shouldn’t talk about scientific studies on this podcast unless they learn more about how to interpret a scientific study. For example, they kept referencing that 225 citations supported that weight loss doesn’t improve health. Every single citation in a paper does not mean that it’s another...Read full review »

I paid but still gets ads
Allyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy22023 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/22/24
Just listened to the most recent episode and, as a paying subscriber, I would love to know why I’m forking over money to hear a 20 minute ad for impossible foods. Such obvious empty content. Do better, please.
amcs2323 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/21/24
I started listening to DST around the time Emily and Remy took over and I loved their dynamic and conversions and would tune in every episode. Ever since Lauren took over, I unfortunately feel like the podcast lost its spark. Lauren has extremely strong opinions, and so strong on body positivity...Read full review »
sofaaaa321 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/06/24
This is a complete waste. 0 substance. The one sided bias makes this show completely unappealing to people who enjoy health and wellness and fitness.
hannnahh1995 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/24
I feel left behind after the rebrand. DST used to say out loud the things I was thinking about myself and made me I feel seen. I came in with Remy and Emily and I really felt connected to their openness about struggles with disordered eating - and how you can feel bad even when you are in the...Read full review »

I’m sorry but please replace the new girls, or add more substance to this… it’s very gabby without any kind of insights or educational aspect. I commiserate with my friends. I want to come here to commiserate AND get a different perspective from my own, maybe even with some research behind it.
Street Dirt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/24
Obsessed with everything they have to say, they are the coolest and I learn from them so much. Love listening to this every week and hearing their thoughts.
Fizzlepoppies via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/24
I hope you find the audience you’re looking for with the rebrand because as an OG DSTer I can’t listen to the show anymore. It’s not fun. It feels like I’m being shamed constantly. The guests are biased or unrelated to the topic. Was trying to hold out but this show has become unbearable and...Read full review »

I stopped listening when the new hosts came on. I just couldn’t connect anymore. I’ve recently begun listening again when Lauren began and the dynamic is great! I love her insight and Emily and Lauren as co hosts
lianashayne via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/01/24
I’d been a DST listener since the start and have tried to stick around since Sami and Aleen departed, but I just can’t listen to a single-minded view on body positivity and wellness anymore. Emily and Lauren seem to only rant about how bad Ozempic is and how no one should want to lose weight, yet...Read full review »
livelovelaugh143 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/01/24
I started listening when Lauren join the DST family and I just love Lauren and Emily together. They make me feel like one of their girlfriends. The conversations never feel force and love how they feed off each other’s energy. I’ve recently jumped off the societal toxic weight loss band wagon and...Read full review »
Cruzgirl82 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/24
Emily can prep some talking points before recording the pod. She talks without any relevance to the pod. Like in the latest episode she just goes on and on about umbrellas lol. Lauren brings a lot of good points to the discussions but what can she do if Emily is always so off topic. Maybe get a...Read full review »
Blu435 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/24
I have listened to this podcast for yearssss but can no longer listen with Lauren. She makes everything about herself and clearly wants to go viral. The tone of the show has changed for the negative and I miss the old hosts/content.

Not great Needs Jared
Shmalanaz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/24
I love this podcast- Emily and Lauren have great conversation and are funny, thoughtful and insightful. It’s really like being in the room with friends. I love the attention to a variety of topics especially those that pertain to women, body image, health and relationships. Thanks for the great...Read full review »
Kim1018 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/04/24
Loving the dynamic between Lauren and Emily. I think they both bring a lot to the table and their conversations feel more aligned with “OG” DST. I appreciate how fat friendly it is (especially without excluding or demeaning anyone else) and I think listeners of all sizes will find something of...Read full review »
aeaoiisrg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/24
I’m really enjoying Lauren Hope Krass as the new co-host! She’s super funny off the cuff but also brings a really fresh spin to the podcast with her experience as a plus size person. Also loving all the new segments. I definitely have some food pinions of my own 😂
Kambric via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/24
Yay
Back for seconds is my fav! I Subscribe just to hear more of Aleen and Sami. Was so happy to discuss the (over?)emphasis of breastfeeding for new moms in the caretaking / capitalism episode
linds stabs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/29/24
No shade to other hosts but I am LIVING for new co-host Lauren! It just feels right having a plus size perspective on the show AND she’s funny, smart, and has great chemistry with rest of the team? 🔥🔥🔥🫡🫡🫡👑👑👑💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻
FloofBoiFan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/24
I’m a new listener and love tuning in every week. I felt very similar to Remy which is what got me hooked. I like the new host but she interrupts Emily SO much. I think she’ll find her groove but please let Emily finish her thoughts and don’t feel the need to fix the issues she’s talking about.
MandyG118 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/24
I love the foodpinions, keep them! I also think that Lauren is a great addition to the pod, although we all Stan Remi, I’m so enjoying Lauren’s lighthearted takes and effortless humor. My Red Vines secret is that they’re nasty fresh but amazing stale. They get the chew of a twizzler but a more...Read full review »

Love the message behind this podcast. I enjoy it every week. Emily and Lauren (bye, lovely Remi) do such a great job as hosts and almost feel like friendly neighbors (although we live on different continents). They stop me from nodding along with the experts and make me ask: What does this...Read full review »

Loving the new hosting duo. These two women have a rich understanding of diet-culture, anti-fat bias, EDs, and body image—while also being brilliant comedians…soooo good! We’ve all spent too much time bonding with other women via being self critical (“fat talk”)—this podcast is the anecdote,...Read full review »

How can you have an obese co host on a diet podcast talking nutrition and healthy eating habits?
bringbackdan via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/16/24
Hate the new format. Hate that podcasters think we just want to hear their opinions on the most mundane daily topics. Dont waste your time.
Britknee00 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/24
They make it such a point to be “body positive” but it seems that they lean so much towards the plus size/fat community that it almost contradicts their purpose. They are so positive regarding the plus size/fat community and often times make comments that can be hurtful to those who are...Read full review »

I haven’t been a longtime listener but I enjoy listening to the episodes! To me it feels like honest conversation about difficult topics. Do I always agree with the takes? No, but it feels like talking with a friend and hearing different perspectives. I like when they include Lauren to get a true...Read full review »

Y’all lost me on the Oprah weight loss drug episode. I take Wegovy and it has been a life changer for me. I can empathize with all of the things Oprah said; food noise is a real thing. Food addiction is a real thing. Ever heard of binge eating disorder? It’s an actual disease. To come back to the...Read full review »

Most of the time these girls have me cracking up because I can relate so well.

This stuff is real,...Read full review »

I was a fan until I heard Tracey Carnazzo on a recent episode. She’s a mean girl from another podcast. The last straw for me was the ozempic episode that came off very judgmental. Not very sympathetic to those who need these drugs and not coming from a place of intelligent discussion. I can’t...Read full review »

I’ve been a listener since Sami & Aleen first had the Keto Guido on—and I always appreciated the diverse conversation, non-bias and evolution that both the experts and S&A brought to the show. That being said and I’m sure the current hosts are doing their best, yet Remi & Emily...Read full review »
DST MASH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/24
I had to stop mid episode to write this. The ozempic episode is absolutely absurd. The hosts are ‘speaking from experience’ and ‘based on my own personal feelings’ about addiction, weight stigma etc. These are topics with research to support them. Their uninformed opinions are not worth being on...Read full review »
