The Subway diet plan is a weight loss program from the namesakes fast food outlet that was used to promote their sandwiches as a healthy option to a market dominated by greasy burgers and sugar loaded drinks. Subway used an excessively overweight customer, Jarod Fogle, to give the campaign both a human connection to the diet and a way of backing up their claims with actual proof.
Jarod managed to lose a lot of weight while on the diet and this has generated a cult following with people trying to work out what the actual diet was. Many experts have narrowed down the Subway Diet Plan to possibly be a daily variation of the following routine.
Breakfast was a small bowl of cereal using skim milk and a black coffee for a drink. The coffee can be artificially sweetened. Lunch was the first of the Subway sandwiches - a 6 inch turkey sandwich on wheat bread and a diet soda. No cheese or sauces. Dinner was a vegetarian sandwich with a water. In between meals the snacks consisted of a piece of fruit such as apple or orange and water.
The Subway Diet Plan itself is nothing ground breaking. All it does is make the decisions easy for you by having your lunch and dinners already prepared so the only task is to order and consume. The problem is that the costs from buying the takeaway each day adds up really quick.
Instead of trying to buy your lunch everyday you should take what you learnt from this campaign and make your own equivalent Subway diet plan. Buy a loaf of wholemeal bread, some quality deli meats from the supermarket and some of your favourite salads and get into the habit of making your own sandwiches. They will taste a lot better and save you a lot of money.
Also remember that to make this diet a success you need to combine it with a good exercise routine. Start walking everyday and you will feel better for it.
