History[edit | edit source]

The Subway Diet was popularized by Jared Fogle, an American man who claimed to have lost 245 pounds (111 kg) in a year by eating Subway sandwiches. Fogle's weight loss story was used in Subway's advertising campaigns, which led to the diet's widespread popularity.

Diet Plan[edit | edit source]

The Subway Diet involves eating two low-fat Subway sandwiches per day. One meal should be a 6-inch (15 cm) sub, and the other should be a 12-inch (30 cm) sub. The sandwiches should be low in fat and high in fiber. The diet also recommends regular exercise.

Criticism[edit | edit source]

The Subway Diet has been criticized for its lack of variety and nutritional balance. Some nutritionists argue that the diet is too low in calories and does not provide enough nutrients for a healthy diet.
