Subway
Diet
This diet has become popular
ever since the world met Jared Fogle. Fogle is the
spokesperson for Subway restaurants. Subway became the hip and
happening place to eat when Jared lost over 200 pounds eating
Subway sandwiches.
Eating fast food as a way to
lose weight? Who knew? Morgan Spurlock had the opposite
experience. I must admit, Subway restaurants provide a
different kind of fast food. Their subs come with several
healthy options for the health conscious eater who doesn't
have time to cook.
As far as Jared's plan, he
ate a six inch sandwich for lunch. Subway offers several six
inch sandwiches that have less than six grams of fat per
serving. The choices are good for this meal. The sandwiches do
not include mayonnaise, oil, or cheese. By adding these
ingredients you are also adding calories to the meal, which is
why Jared left them off. He did have a bag of Baked Lay's®
potato chips with each lunch however.
For dinner Jared allowed
himself a foot long veggie sub. Again, this sub did not
contain any oil, mayonnaise, or cheese. All total, he consumed
very few calories each day. For a man who weighed in at over
400 pounds, the weight would start to come off rather
quickly.
Since Jared began making
Subway restaurants chic again, their menu has changed. They
offer even healthier fare, including wrap sandwiches. Their
potato chip line includes varieties of baked and fat free
options as well. Breads include wheat, white, honey oat,
Italian herb and cheese, and more. The restaurant's cheese is
not fat free yet, but cheese can be omitted or a lower fat
version can be added when you get home.
For combo meals, customers
can have yogurt instead of chips along with healthy
alternatives to soft drinks. Fresh vegetables are available
like always as well as light mayonnaise. The revamp resulted
in more choices for customers who want to eat out but not ruin
their diet.
Choosing the Subway diet as
a way to lose weight is plausible. Boredom with eating the
same sandwiches all of the time could lead participants to
stray. But, if it works for you, the sacrifice will be worth
the rewards. There is something to be said for consistency. If
you know what you will eat you have less temptation to look
around for unhealthy alternatives.
The Subway experience can
get pricey if you eat out every day. The diet also doesn't
stop you from cooking if you have a family at home. Kids will
certainly tire of eating the same sandwiches every day. It
worked for Jared and others, but if you have a family, you may
want to keep looking. Just remember Subway when you want
something different for a dieting
