Jared From Subway

[Vantagepoint34]

how in the world did this guy loose so much weight just eating sandwiches and walking every day? I've been walking everyday and I don't get the results he got....loosing 30 pounds in one month is this possible just eating healthy(salads and steak) without the subway sandwiches?

No! It MUST be subway sandwiches!

He ate less calories than he burnt. You can do this drinking oil, though you will get sick.

The fatter you are, the easier it is to lose fat. There's nothing very impressive about an guy going from obese to skinnyfat.

Genetics and metobalism also play a role.

But there is no easy way to go around it if you are serious about losing weight. Hit the gym hard at least 3-4 times a week and eat right (4-6 small meals a day mainly vegetables and protein) and drink plenty of water.

Not only will you lose the weight but also build muscle.

He lost so much weight because he went from 10,000 calories to 2,000 calories a day.

(Michael Phelps ate that much when training non stop for the Olympics)

When you cut your diet by 80% yeah you will lose weight quickly

If you're just walking, forget it. If it's true that he went from 10k calories to 2k a day, then he could have done just about nothing and still lost a ton of weight. subway is in the business of selling sandwiches and they were capitalizing on something that is very much the exception, not the rule.

Vegetables and high quality meats and fish with ample amounts of natural fats (beef fat, butter, lard, cocoanut oil, olive oil) will get you a very long way. Avoid any and all refined carbs.

Subway = no-no
No grains, no potatoes, no juices, no booze and no junk food.

If you find yourself getting hungry all the time, get more fat in your diet. It's natures appetite suppressant and it won't make you gain weight. Carbs are the culprit leading to syndrome X, insulin resistance and eventual diabetes.

As a man, if your belly button circumference measures wider than your hip bones, you have insulin resistance.

Supplementing with L-Glutamine and taking Pancreatic enzymes can help get your body back on track, if you can stick to a paleo-esque diet of meats/fish, veggies and a bit of fruit (post workout).

Everyone is different. some can handle a bit more carbs than others. You need to tailor your intake by trying and seeing how you react. I don't do carbs very well. Bread and beer make me fat. Period. Some people can handle the occasional sandwich.

Thanks for the input. I will try it out your way.

Eat potatoes. They are high in potassium and other minerals, more importantly they are completely natural so in no way do they fall under the banner of your argument.

Your rule is somewhat accurate but by no means a fact.

I live on sandwiches and am very, very healthy looking and feeling. "Doing the occasional sandwich" isn't the same as "doing the occasional line". You aren't going to derail your body by eating sandwiches. 90% of people who think this can't count kilojoules worth a damn and blame carbs. The reason carbs suck is when they're processed they become nutritionally empty- lacking in vitamins, minerals and other macro-nutrients- and denser. Think about it, a Big Mac has ~55-60 grams of carbs per 100, versus potatoes falling in around 30, with far more vitamins and minerals.

So yes, I agree natural > processed but they both have a role. And eating a bit of both doesn't really matter. Sure, sticking to all natural is nice but really there is no proof either way. Except, you know, our ancestors were way more bad-ass. In fact, (skim) milk is a processed food and is the closest natural thing for optimum macro content post workout.

Sorry bro, but you're misinformed and taking things out of context. Anyone who doesn't have belly fat and blood/sugar handling issues can definitely eat potatoes and grains in moderate amounts. (very few people truly fall in this category, in terms of percentage of population)

I'm getting down to the people who really want to cut their BF% and lean up.

Those minerals and vitamins can be found in a lot more places, and potatoes are better left out if someone is trying to lose body fat and get their blood/sugar and insulin resistance issues back to normal.

The only time you might really want to carb up is immediately post workout, preferably even before the sweat dries. Insulin is a carrier hormone, as well as a fat storage hormone. spike your blood sugar right after a workout will drive nutrition into your muscles.

But, this is in the context of someone who wants to get the fat off as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Anyone who has been training for ages, eats well and maintains a relatively low body fat % by staying pretty active, can handle more carbs. Their bodies aren't very efficient in storing these calories, as they tend to burn them up.

Until someone with a spare tire gets down to no spare tire and can stay that way for a decent period of time (a year, or more) would best be served to avoid the starchy/sugary carbs, even the natural ones.

Context, dude.... Context.

I have worked at a Subway franchise, let me tell you.

Jareds sandwich is a six inch turkey or veggie sans cheese, mayo and sauces, most likely on wheat bread. This is a perfectly healthy small portion.

Also, Jared got fat again. This is why you don't see him anymore.

Best way to lose weight is to do short, intense work-outs (i.e sprints). My older cousin is a chiropractor and was once a sports trainer, and he would tell people who were "fat" and wanted to lose weight to do this.

Doing cardio (jogging long distances) will only help so much. The best way to lose weight is:


Short Intense Workouts
Eat Less/Better
Get Adequate Rest
Stay Active

You don't need subway to lose weight or any other fad diet. I lost 20 pounds in 2 months (went from 5'9 200 pounds to 180 pounds) just by replacing two meals a day with a cup of oatmeal and cutting out junk food. I had a cup of oatmeal for breakfast and lunch and then would eat anything I wanted for dinner.

 

[OzyBoy]

Going into subway these days is almost as bad as going into any other fast food joint. You could easily get fat if you are not careful about what you choose.
