On her inspiration for the show, the star told Good Morning America it was 'definitely not my own college experience. I just should put that out there, not that that's surprising to people.' The writer-actor-producer explained to Elle in 2021, "It's an amalgam of a lot of different experiences that me and my co-creator, Justin Noble, had.' Both of the writers graduated from famous institutions and Ivy League schools — Noble attended Yale and Kaling attended Dartmouth. The screenwriter explained that the teen drama-comedy series 'tackles the challenges of being a young woman in college.' The sophomore season of The Sex Lives of College Girls premiered on November 17, streaming exclusively on HBO Max. Earlier this year, the mom-of-two revealed she achieved her stunning recent weight loss by continuing to 'eat what I like to eat' - but 'less of it.' 'Honestly, I didn't really do anything differently,' she told Entertainment Weekly in April. The Office alumna dished: 'I eat what I like to eat. If I do any kind of restrictive diet, it never really works for me. I just eat less of it.' Mindy did, however, adopt a much stricter food regime to lose weight after welcoming daughter Katherine. 'After I had my daughter I had to shoot a movie like two months later, so I was very much like: "Just give me grilled salmon and sautéed spinach. I'm going to eat that for three months,"' said the Mindy Project star.
