Who started the Subway diet?
Subway started the Subway diet. Jared Fogel is also known as the man who lost 245 pounds from the subway diet. He replaced 2 of his daily meals with subs from the subway restaurant chain. Within a year he went from 435 pound non active man to a healthy 180 pound daily walker. Jared lives by the portion control methods to maintaining his weight and encourages other to follow in his footsteps. While on his quest to achieve his desired weight and control his calorie intake (a day balance of 1000 calories) he ate a 6" turkey sub and a small bag of baked chips for lunch and later on in the day ate a 12" veggie sub for dinner which contained zero oil, mayo or cheese. Subway has now in honor of their friend Jared provided customers with a friendly 6 grams of fat "subway diet" plan that includes 7 sandwiches.
Jared Fogel is paid by Subway to advertise his success from the Subway diet plan.
