Thread: SubWay Diet? Jared?

in the longrun, it all boils down to calories in vs. calories out.

and in Jareds case... looks like a typical severe calorie reduction diet.. no breakfast.. vegetable subs and baked chips... lots of processed carbs, no protein and no EFA's.... all that for under 1000calories.. sure its believable that he lost weight. Certainly not a way that I would go about it or reccomend to anyone.

this is going to sound like i'm being sarcastic...but i'm truly not.

you can lose weight on a baskin robbins diet. seriously. i can eat ice cream every single day and still drop weight if that's my only concern. so, while i believe a person can lose weight on the "subway diet" - i'd never consider it a good eating plan.

Was it PT Barnum that said there's a sucker born every minute ?

I understand that its possible, but really doubt thats all he did to lose the weight. Maybe I'm just skeptical about big business and advertisments.

You can lose weight with ANY diet that is below your required calorie intake. Few of them are healthy, for a healthy solution call 1-800-Vieope´s-really-healthy-diet. If you call now you get your Var´s personalized pink dumbell.

How did u hear about the pink dumbells already!?!? You've only been back here for a few hours.

he clearly gets around

Lol.. I am catching up.

I couldnt afford a subway diet.

Subway was a big factor in how I lost all my weight when I was 275lbs. I would never recommend anyone doing it because I lost alot of muscle too but yeah, the weight definately came off.

i think I'm on the baskin robbins diet, lol. WHat do you mean, "if that's my only concern"?

try the sugar free ice cream diet. eat normal food for the day; then finish off with a half gallon of sugar free ice cream that'll lose you some weight

I went from around 190lbs at the middle of my Sr year of HS down to around 160 by eating the Subway diet. I had a double meat turkey sub for lunch and dinner. Granted, I wasn't trying to build large amounts of muscle, but I was still lifting. I lost a lot of body fat and probably a lot of muscle mass too. I am back up to around 200 now, but it is pretty much all muscle. O, and my name is Jared, too. Cute, huh?

Yeah it is certainly possible. like someone upwards of here said, Calories in vs calories out. And it seems weight loss is all most people are concerned with...not fat loss.

I mean it's easy to lose weight - really easy. What's harder is dieting to build and keep muscle. If I ate a 5 candy bars a day the number on the scale would drop BUT my body wouldn't look the way I want it to (b/c my bodyfat percentage would get worse even as I got smaller) and my health would be compromised.

Oh... Good point. but you're supposed to enjoy life while you're young!

i lost weight on the college cafeteria diet while living in the dorms, while most everyone else gains 20 lbs. i lost a good 10 lbs and gained some good muscle while eating a diet of burgers, fries, and chicken fingers, and lots of vodka

Subway should be shot in the face for promoting that Jared fucknut.

Sure you can lose weight on the so-called "Subway Diet", but it's an unhealthy diet. Jared ate two veggie grinders a day. He was missing out on a lot of vitamins, minerals, and protein. It was a 1000 calorie a day diet, which is very unhealthy for the average person. Subway is irresponsible for promoting such an unhealthy diet, but whatever sells sandwiches, right?

Jared was really over weight though.....I would have had him eating just one sandwhich a day.....Now look at him....Hes still alive isnt he? Ive never heard of anyone dying from the subway diet? But I do see your point in that it isnt the most healthiest of choices.........

Like Nikegurl said, a person can lose weight on any diet including an ice cream diet. It's a simple matter of calories in vs calories out. Subway is taking credit for Jared's weight loss, when in reality Jared could have eaten pretty much any single food and lost weight.

There are healthier ways to lose weight. Jared is lucky he didn't suffer any serious side affects from that stupid-ass diet of his.

jaim: they mean, the baskin robbins diet is cool if you dont mind terrible health along with weight loss.
wtf does weight loss mean anyway? its fat loss that we want and... HEALTH? maybe? screw weight loss. ill lose a lot of weight when my flesh decomposes off my dead body, so im not too worried about it now.

I had a big ass bowl of cereal in the mornings and two double-meat footlong turkey subs throughout the rest of the day when I was on my Subway diet. You don't have to eat just a veggie sub.

agreed. subway is a good alternative to mcd's. at least they serve real food, and thats a big statement for fast food. i was just trying to make the point that ice cream doesnt have too many vitamins these days.

Ok, ok...fair enough guys. But you have to admit, it would be fun for the first little while...

I lost 80 lbs on the pizzahut diet,
chicken supreme pizza's no crust.
