An Overview of the Subway Diet
Ask anyone about the Subway Diet and they’ll tell you about Jared who dropped 245 pounds in a single year just by eating Subway. This article goes into details about how the commercials and the famous diet got their start.
Jared Fogle worked his way through college by working at an adult book store. His weight reached 425 pounds thanks to sitting around all day – in class and at work – munching on snacks. Jared realized his weight was critical and so started looking for a way to drop some pounds.
He tried various diets, but they didn’t work because he still had all those hours behind a counter during which to cheat. Then he realized there was a Subway sandwich shop not too far from where he lived. The seed of the Subway diet was planted. Jared changed his daily diet to nothing but a sandwich, baked chips and a diet soda for lunch and dinner, walking the 3 mile round trip for each meal. He went from consuming 10,000 calories daily to about 900, while adding a 6 mile hike to his daily routing. The result of Jared’s personal Subway diet was a loss of 245 pounds in only a year.
How did Jared become a nationally recognized figure? After losing the weight Jared ran into a friend who worked with the school paper. This buddy barely recognized Jared, so he decided to write an article about his amazing weight loss. Men’s Health magazine picked up the story as part of an article about weird diets that work. A subway franchisee in Chicago brought the story to the attention of his advertising people who talked to Jared to make certain it was legit. The local agency brought the idea to Subway’s national ad agency, but they hated the idea, so the local guys paid out of pocket for Chicago commercials featuring the Subway diet.
Needless to say the Subway diet became a huge hit. Suddenly Jared and his Subway diet were everywhere – in newspapers, on television, even on Oprah. Subway’s national ad people contacted the Chicago ad people about airing the ad nationally.
Many people have lost a lot of weight on the Subway diet. However, be aware that Jared was an exception and not a rule for being able to lose that much weight in so short a time. His plan of cutting calories and exercise are well known to lead to weight loss and a healthy life style
