JARED S. FOGLE
-
 Diet
Start Date: Mid-March 1998
-
Height: 6' 2''
-
Starting weight: 425 pounds
-
Current weight: 190 pounds
Exercise during diet: At first nothing, until he got down to about
300 lbs. Slowly, he replaced riding the bus with walking to classes. By 250
pounds, he walked everywhere during the day. Typically 1.5 miles per day.
Ending diet date: Early March 1999 (not quite a full year from start
date)
Diet today: Slowly started eating other foods. Chooses foods with low
fat. Eats a lot more calories (about 2,400 per day), but now limits the fat. He
drinks only diet drinks, little liquor or beer and walks whenever he can.
Motivation: He stayed motivated with the help of his college friend,
JL (currently in medical school) and with the support of his family.
Why SUBWAY®
Sandwiches?: There is a SUBWAY® restaurant right next to where
Jared’s apartment had been while he was at the
university. He passed by
everyday. He used to eat there frequently but one day when he was at his
heaviest, he noticed the sign advertising sandwiches with 7
sandwiches with 6 grams of
fat or less. He ate a 6-inch turkey (no oil, mayo or condiments or cheese) for lunch
and a 12-inch veggie (no condiments or cheese) for dinner. He ate the same
sandwiches every day. This is what made it so easy. Once he saw the *weight
begin to come off, it only made him want to eat more of the low-fat sandwiches.*
What he ate everyday:
-
Breakfast - coffee
-
Lunch - "I ate the 6-inch turkey, tons of vegetables,
including hot peppers and a bit of spicy mustard." He left off the mayonnaise
and cheese and had a bag of Baked Lays® potato chips and a diet soft drink
-
Dinner - Footlong veggie sub - again no mayonnaise or cheese.
Maintenance: Today, Jared still enjoys his favorite SUBWAY® sandwich,
but has eased himself into eating other foods. He always chooses foods low in
fat and limits the amount of alcoholic beverages. He still drinks only "diet"
beverages and continues his walking regimen.
What he says about
the SUBWAY® brand: "The SUBWAY®
chain helped save my life
over and over. I can't ever repay that."
*Individuals lost weight by exercising and eating a balanced, reduced-calorie
diet that included SUBWAY®
sandwiches with 6 grams of fat or less. Their
results are not typical. Your loss if any will vary.
The SUBWAY® chain does
not endorse the diet Jared created and cautions anyone embarking on a
weight-loss plan to consult their physician.
