On no, here we go again!

Didn’t I just write about how unhealthy Jared and his Subway Diet was?

Well now comes a story about Chris Coleson, a man who took his waist size from 50 inches to 36 inches in 6 months eating nothing but McDonalds.

Give me a break!

You can read the full story about the McDiet.

He started at 286 pounds and went on a 1400 calorie diet - a very restrictive calorie diet for a man his size.

It gets better.

He skipped breakfast every day.

He primarily ate salads, wraps and sandwiches.

Wait, it gets even better.

He was on Good Morning America talking about it.

Apparently this is newsworthy.

He probably was doing this for the publicity anyway - a Jared wannabe.

Who knows how McDonalds is going to use this positive publicity to their advantage.

Please leave your opinion and don’t hold back.

I want to hear what everyone has to say. : )

Have a great weekend.

Recently I have been seeing a lot of commercials for The Subway Diet….you remember Jared don’t you? He’s the gentleman who lost over 240 pounds by eating a lot of sandwiches at Subway. It seems that he has kept the weight off for 10 years now. I say congratulations to Jared for keeping this weight off for so long. Not too many people do.

I’m wondering though if The Subway Diet is healthy. Is The Subway Diet a safe and effective way to lose weight?

During his diet, Jared would eat a 6 inch turkey sub and a bag of baked potato chips for lunch. And for dinner, he ate a 12 inch veggie sub with extra veggies, and no cheese, oil or mayo.

So he was skipping breakfast and eating 2 meals a day consisting of about 1000 calories. As you can see, Jared was on a restrictive calorie diet, eating lots of bread, processed deli meats, and I’m guessing he drank diet soda. It doesn’t appear like he was getting any fruits in his diet. He also was on a walking program.

He basically lost all of this weight with portion control. He found what worked for him and he was able to stick to it.

What do you think about The Subway Diet? Do you applaud Jared for losing all of this weight and keeping it off? Or do you have the opinion that Jared did not lose the weight in the most safe and healthy manner? Should he have been eating more frequently, including breakfast? Does he need to add more veggies and fruits to his diet with less breads and diet soda?

And what do you think about Subway and their commercials promoting their restaurant as a way to lose weight?

I would love to hear your thoughts. Please leave your comments below.

Have an amazing day.
