Getting back to that "Jared" character from those Subway commercials...did he really lose all his weight on Subway subs or did he use some other method? What did he eat (or not eat) when he wasn't eating Subway subs. Anybody know? It is great that you managed to get your diet balanced up, and are feeling the benefits. Congratulations.
As for Jared, I think that he was Subway's greatest ever customer, and ate there two or three times a day. He had their sandwiches, instead of all the junk food he used to binge on, and then he gave up drinking pop drinks as well. (If this is the same person I read an article about.) He just had simple meals at Subways.
Obviously, what eating at Subways did for him was to break his addictive relationships to many other foods, and offer him a "clean break" environment - more or less like rehab. Good on him.
As I understand he also was going to a Subway that was a couple miles from his house and walking there for his meals. So the over all Jared diet is:
Cut out one meal a day completely (Subway doesn't do breakfast)
Cut out processed food and relly on fresher food
End the soda intake
Walk 6 to 8 miles a day
When you think about it it's kind of a no brainer. Then he sold his story to Subway and got paid for all the weight he lost, pretty smart guy when you think about it.
