Diet Starts Tomorrow

This week, Sami and Aleen unpack what the F is up with the DentalSlim Diet Control Device. They start off by laying out all of the details: where the device was invented, the studies researchers have conducted on it, and why they say they created it. Next, Sami and Aleen discuss the emotional triggers behind a medieval weight loss device like this being created in 2021 and how they think diet-culture has been affected by this. Lastly, they answer some listener DMS, discuss weight loss surgeries, and why negative self-talk doesn’t get you anywhere.

This week, Aleen and Sami are listening and reacting to the resolutions they set for 2020. From working out more to self care to personal goals, the girls are listening to all their resolutions that they met (or more likely... didn’t meet) throughout the year. They also discuss whether or not they plan on setting goals this year, continuing their intuitive eating journeys, how they’ve grown throughout the pandemic, and what they have planned for 2021.

On this Thursday’s episode, Sami and Aleen dive into how they’ve been doing lately (not well, b*tch) and why it felt like they had more control when they were still dieting. Aleen gives us updates about her recent move before they answer the Dear DST of the week. The email comes from a nanny who has been noticing how the parents she works for are policing the snacks their children can and cannot eat. Is she right to think that these rules will affect the kids’ relationship with food later in life?

Remember Aleen and Sami’s “Favorite Things” episode? They’re back again, bringing you some of their new favs. This year has been stressful to say the least and after a quick chat about feeling hopeful and positive for the vaccine and the new year, the girls dive right into all of their favorite things. They share it all, from unnecessary kitchen gadgets and embarrassing childhood items still in their apartments, to how many tabs they leave open and their guilty pleasure movies. (Yes, there is a heated debate on When Harry Met Sally, we thought you’d never ask). Learn more about Sami and Aleen this week and try not to LOL.
