I don't know anyone IRL who eats those, for some reason. <br /><br /><b>Shannon</b> - It also makes me wonder, did Jared go out with friends, or on dates? If so, did these social events have to be at Subway, or did he just not eat at any other location?<br /><br />Even if eating only one type of food saved Jared's life, it also strikes me as limiting in more ways than just the nutritional one.Marian Pererahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700524210146863718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125325709844932289.post-26231065982807138772011-01-21T19:11:11.898-05:002011-01-21T19:11:11.898-05:00I'll publically confess my love for Subway.

It was long on story and short on science, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.<br /><br />And I have an idea what he means about not liking the fame. When I did a Google search of his name, I came across a fairly convincing-looking hoax saying he had died from gastric bypass complications.<br /><br /><b>Neutral Fire</b> - Yes, just the hype. This is probably the only diet book in the world where I recognized the author.Marian Pererahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700524210146863718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125325709844932289.post-65588418574276547272011-01-20T22:11:27.557-05:002011-01-20T22:11:27.557-05:00If you can survive on MacDonalds, you can survive ...If you can survive on MacDonalds, you can survive better on Subway! Still, I agree. While it's a move in the right direction and if it works for you, do it, it really shouldn't be a life-long thing. It's better to branch out and make sure you get all the nutrients you need. Always good to read a success story, though.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456068019298922261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125325709844932289.post-24020860689308762102011-01-20T21:07:28.187-05:002011-01-20T21:07:28.187-05:00I agree with a lot of what you said, including my ...I agree with a lot of what you said, including my affinity for meatball subs. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125325709844932289.post-32771197519844613652011-01-20T20:21:21.727-05:002011-01-20T20:21:21.727-05:00I've only been to Subway a couple of times, bu...I've only been to Subway a couple of times, but I like the meatball marinara too.

He was only eating around a thousand calories, plus walking. It would be good to have a more varied diet but I can see how it would be easier to stay disciplined about it if you get in a routine and stay there, especially if you have such a huge hurdle to pass with that much weight. I was reading something recently how while he doesn't adore the fame he attributes his continued low weight to it and the fact that he doesn't want to be ashamed of gaining it back in the public eye. Good review :)kimnoreply@blogger.com
