Description: Became popular a few years ago when Jared Fogle lost over 100 pounds by eating only subway sandwiches daily combined with alot of walking. There are Pros and Cons reguarding this diet. Pros include no cooking, eating yummy food and losing weight fast. The cons however is that its not a balanced diet, the food will get boring after awhile and to top it off it can be very expensive to eat at Subway every day. Reviews (15):

Subway for the obese Reviewer: Alex       04-06-2004 If you are morbidly obese, just about any method of weight loss can be justified ... including subway ... if you feel this will help you succeed. However, if you do not fit in this category, it would be better to go on something like a cardiac patient diet. Or harvard's new improved food pyramid (with fruits and vegis on the base level). If you take a look at the ingredients of the meat that Subway uses, you will notice a lot of preservatives and crap. I would recommend avoiding continuous consumption of their meats. And no, a sub without meat won't do ... there isn't much nutrition in the condiments either. Its not just about avoiding fat, it about getting the right stuff too.

Almost any diet will work Reviewer: Chuck       04-06-2004 depending on the individual and circumstances, almost any diet will "work" once. Indeed those who lost weight without going on ANY diet had the best results. Please refer to "guru walla" and "life events" in Adiposity 101 at www.omen.com

burning more calroies than you eat Reviewer: Pat       04-06-2004 You WILL burn more calories than you eat, if you are eating less calories than you burn. If a person eats 3 subways a day and that's it, they'll probably lose weight.

Subway Disclaimer Reviewer: Chris       04-06-2004 The disclaimer in the ad is that the Subway sandwiches are just part of a plan that includes a low fat diet and exercise. I think we all agree that that does work.

Just my opinion Reviewer: Ruben T.       04-06-2004 I just looked at the Subway website and I stand corrected -- it says a six inch turkey sub has *17* grams of protein. That is ridiculously low for any human being.

Exercise is the key Reviewer: Patricia       04-05-2004 the thing Subway is touting about those subs is that they are low FAT which is the biggest problem in most people's diets. You won't burn more than you eat unless you exercise.

My diet Reviewer: Tommy       04-03-2004 It would take maybe 1.5 to 2 years, which is a reasonable timeframe regardless of the type diet. During my weight loss (only 120 pounds, granted), subway sandwiches were very, very common. In fact, when I was on the road, 95% of my meals were subways. If there weren't any around, I'd get a grilled chicken at a MacDonalds or Burger King.

Subway High Carb Diet Reviewer: Determined       04-02-2004 I think there's no doubt that all that bread is going to deliver high carbs. Why the diet works is you consume less calories than you burn. It's been successful for some people, because it takes the thinking out of eating. You can make yourself a really yummy and even healthier sandwich at home, and it won't cost near as much. And it will work if you are diligent about eating under a certain number of calories every day.

READ the fine print Reviewer: Gym Bob       04-01-2004 Read "the fine print" They say "without cheese or sauce" You got a dry piece of bleached white bun with a few processes/sodium nitrite soaked pieces of meat. Dry

I know Jarred Reviewer: PJ       04-01-2004 The person who lost 245lbs on the Subway diet is a student at the university I attend...I have met him a couple of times. In addition to the Subway sandwiches he also exercised. It is pretty amazing...and true!

Subs are healthier than burgers Reviewer: Arklier       03-26-2004 I do eat at sub shops quite a bit. My current one is Georgio's, which is a small local chain, since it is the closest one to my work. While I don't eat there 3 times a day, it's better to go get a turkey or (my favorite) egg salad (non-fat mayo) than hit the burger joints for lunch. When I'm out and I want something, I'll usually look for a Subway or Quizno's instead of going to McDonald's.

What you should order/eat Reviewer: WR       03-17-2004 You should order your Double Whopper with Cheese with NO mayo and no pickles. Or a Wendy's Big Bacon Classic, same way. BTW, Wendy's has much better meat, but oddly enough you really don't notice how poor the BK meat is when it's in the Whopper. It is very noticeable though if you are ketogenic dieting and not eating the bread.

It works well when you are 360 pounds Reviewer: Roxan       03-16-2004 It works well when you are 360 pound person, but someone wanting to lose a few pounds, would find this isn't low enough in calories if eaten every day. Jared lost weight because he still ate lower in calories then he once did. No mystery there.

to lose weight and feel better Reviewer: TC       03-12-2004 If you look at 3 to four ounces of meat (protein) on a whole-wheat bun, skip the chips and have a diet (low-sugar) drink, you are looking at pretty much the exact protein to carb ratio as is proposed by by many low-carb diets. If you are overweight, you will lose weight and feel better. Exercise wont hurt either.

What is so amazing? Reviewer: Jake       03-06-2004 What is so amazing about it? Any time you cut your calories that low and deprive your body of the vital nutrients and minerals you need to function optimally you're going to lose weight. For cripes sake -- this guy was only eating 12 grams of protein a day! Nothing amazing about it if you ask me. Just plain stupid....
