Weight loss on a bun? Not so fast...
Yesterday, I posted about the Subway Diet. This post will cover the diet portion of it and what it breaks down into.
Here's a breakdown of the Subway diet (How Jared did it)
Breakfast: Cup of coffee (some dieters eat a small bowl of cereal)
Lunch: 6 inch turkey sub (no mayo or cheese) and baked chips
Dinner: Footlong veggie delight sub (no mayo/cheese/etc)
That's it. Usually in a day you are taking in less than 1000 calories a day. For him, it worked.
Pros:
1. Convenient (especially if you are on the road a lot, there's Subways everywhere)
2. Planning is minimal since you are eating the same thing every day
3. Probably won't be hungry as these sandwiches are pretty filling.
Cons:
1. Expensive. If you do this diet as he did, expect to spend about 10$ or less per day on food. For some people that can be pricey.
2. Not suitable for people who can't eat gluten
3. Not suitable for vegans (As far as I know, the bread is not even vegan)
Technically you could do this at home in a cheaper way, by making sandwiches at home but making sure you are in the right calorie ranges and following similar guidelines.
I believe he had his sandwiches on whole wheat bread and only used yellow mustard as a condiment. No cheese, no oil, etc.
So to me, the diet is mostly common sense. It's basically just another way to eat sensibly.
