SUBWAY has eight subs on offer with no more than six grams of fat (a little over a teaspoon or less). No SUBWAY lower-fat offering made it into our worst list, and one made the best list. The other seven missed out because they have about 30% or more of the maximum recommended salt for a day in one sub. Take care when ordering other subs or wraps on its menu — many have one or even one-and-a-half tablespoons of fat, and plenty of salt too.
Disappearing Jared
It promotes its fast food as both healthy — and slimming.
The slimming part, as the majority of Americans learned starting in early 2000, was taken care of by then-Indiana University student Jared S. Fogle.
As the popular Subway television ads drove home, this kid went from a pathologically obese 425 pounds down to a mere 190 pounds — and he did so by eating Subway sandwiches.
Indeed, Jared lost all that weight on what is now called “the Subway diet.” But read the fine print if you really want to know the story.
Healthy meals
As the chain’s official website admits, Jared was on an extremely strict diet of two Subway sandwiches per day: a 6-inch turkey sub, baked Lays potato chips with a diet soda for lunch — and a foot-long veggie sub for dinner.
That’s it. Jared ate nothing else, including no cheese, mayo or oil on any of the subs. It was that campaign — and image — that really launched Subway’s current appeal.
We must be careful of these kind of misleading lies that tell us that by eating their food we can lose weight.
