Subway Diet Review

What You Should Know

We’ve all seen the Subway sandwich commercials, so we all know it was only a matter of time before some individuals looking to lose weight began following The Subway Diet. In the Subway commercials, the brand’s spokesman Jared Fogel claims to have lost an astounding 245 pounds by eating only Subway sandwiches. Since then, Jared has become a minor celebrity, and the Subway Diet has been born. Dieters looking to replicate Jared’s amazing results are instructed to incorporate light walking into their daily routine, along their diet of Subway sandwiches.

The Subway diet evolved pretty much overnight after Jared’s commercials began running, and there is no structured way to follow this diet. There is no official website for the Subway diet, although there are various dieter’s blogs that chronicle the experiences of those following the diet. Essentially, this diet is structured around proper portion control. If all you can eat is a Subway sandwich, there’s little chance of overeating, which can be a big problem for some dieters. However, you also run the risk of still feeling hungry once your sandwich is gone.

Product Features

After Jared lost weight by only eating Subway sandwiches, the fast food sandwich chain turned into a major health food destination. The Subway diet allows users to eat any Subway sandwich they want for lunch and dinner. Light exercise is also recommended if you intended to duplicate Jared’s results. The target calorie range for this diet is 1,000 calories per day. It also seems that the diet only applies to Subway’s 6-inch sub sandwiches, not it’s foot long sandwiches. The typical Subway sandwich franchise offers a range of seven different kinds of sandwiches, meaning that you can have some variety with this diet but not much. How long you follow The Subway Diet seems to be up to you.

Advantages

• The Subway diet strongly encourages daily light walks in addition to the food aspect of the diet.
• There are numerous Subway sandwich stores all over the country.

Disadvantages

• With prices between $5-$10 per sandwich, the Subway diet could get expensive for some.
• You may still be hungry after eating a 6″ sub for dinner.
• There are no clinical trials to back up this diet, only Jared’s experiences.
• This diet severely limits your options when it comes to dining out at restaurants.

Conclusion

While Subway’s commercials definitely caught everyone’s attention, the Subway diet could be a better gimmick than actual weight loss plan. A sandwich sounds like a hearty, filling meal, but to actually eat two per day for a month or more could become tedious and annoying. Unless your fanatical about Subway sandwiches, there are probably much more practical ways to lose weight than following the Subway diet.
