Podcast Ep 129: Caroline Dooner, ‘The F*ck It Diet’
Our guest in this ep is comedian, author, and former chronic dieter Caroline Dooner. She studied at the the Upright Citizens Brigade theater, which will surely delight all our fellow comedy lovers!) Caroline spent much of her life obsessed with food and dieting, until one day, she said to herself, “F*ck it. I’m officially DONE with dieting.”
Her book The F*ck It Diet: Eating Should Be Easy is all about her research on the diet industry and the effect it had on not only her body, but also her self esteem. And, of course, it’s loaded with truth and humor and the kind of insights you’d hope to get from a UCB alum.
