The Subway Diet: Is It A Joke?

After Jared lost over 200 pounds eating Subway sandwiches, this diet attracted a large following. I think this diet may have been a big deal relative to what Jared ate. It is no mystery that someone who is SEVERELY overweight will lose weight if they eat even moderately healthy foods.

I’m sure I would have lost a lot of weight just by eating 2 of McDonald’s low calorie/carb meals. Should we all follow the McDonalds diet?

What did Jared really eat?

Lunch – Jared ate a six inch meter for lunch. These were sandwiches without mayonnaise, oil, or cheese. He also had a bag of baked lay’s with every meal.

Dinner: For dinner, Jared would eat a foot-long vegetable. Again, no oil mayonnaise or cheese.

Well, what do we have here? We have a 400 pound man who went from eating God knows what to a daily calorie intake of probably less than 1500 calories! OF COURSE you will lose weight.

I think some good things came out of the subday diet fad. Subway started offering even healthier options and prompted other restaurants to start offering healthier options as well. I think the Subway Diet should be evaluated for what it is. It is not a dietary solution.

Will you lose weight if you weigh 500lbs eating like crap and then go down to 1500 calories of veggies and healthy sandwiches? Of course you will.

What I really think the subway is good for is people who travel a lot or commute a lot and can’t cook all their meals at home. They offer very healthy sandwiches and plenty of options for someone who is trying to watch what they eat.
