Subway’s Jared gaining back the weight - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 01-02-2010, 09:16 PM

Last year Jared Fogel of Subway fame celebrated 10 years of keeping the weight off that he initially lost by eating a diet of not much other than Subway sandwiches. The diet plan made him a household name and sold the country on Subway, but word has it Jared is gaining some weight back.

What do you think?

Courtnee · 01-02-2010, 09:59 PM

I think that's HILARIOUS.

He did like college tours about weight loss and eating Subway blah blah and now he's big again. LULZ.

Janice · 01-02-2010, 11:30 PM

I hope he saved those pants.

He must have been going overboard with those $5 footlongs.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 01-02-2010, 11:48 PM

He's still fine.

Schmoopie · 01-03-2010, 12:29 AM

I always thought that was such a stupid promotion. Well, he kept it off for a while anyway. He doesn't look that bad, though.

He's doing with the help of aides!

No diet is fail-safe. My nutritionist told me not to go on diets, because once you get off of one, you go back to your old ways and gain the weight back. We shouldn't have to think in terms of deprivation. Eat the things you like, but do it in moderation.

If Jared is gaining weight back, that isn't surprising. I don't think that he could last forever on the turkey subs forever. There's more out there than just those things. I remember a couple years ago, when Carnie Wilson lost all that weight with gastric bypass surgery. Then recently, I saw her on the
Tyra show and her weight was coming back. She accepted it, and wanted others to accept it. She was doing what she could to take it back off, but not to expect instant miracles. To lose weight is an uphill climb. You don't keep it off forever, it's a constant struggle. It can, and should be done, and some people are more successful at it than others. There are a lot of factors involved, not everyone is the same. I'm still struggling with it, though I've noticed there are a lot of changes I've seen gradually over what I eat and how much.

Has Subway dropped Jared from their ads because of his weight gain? I haven't seen him in any commercials for a long while...

steevo · 01-03-2010, 10:45 AM

I also agree that no diet is ever completely successful. I went on slim fast several years ago and I just couldn't have a shake for breakfast and lunch everyday. I just go back to eating my regular food, just in moderation. As for the before and after pics of Jared, he still doesn't look like he did before he went on his subway plan, so hey, its still a plus.

I don't know why some of you think this is so funny. You obviously have never had a weight problem. It's hard for some to keep off weight once they've lost it. Like Greg said, it is a constant struggle. Yeah, alot of people say "Just stop eating". It's not like quitting smoking or stopping drinking. You need to eat. I, myself, have lost quite a bit of weight, only to gain 15 lbs of it back(of which I'm working on).

It is a shame he gained back so much weight though, after being thin for so long. I hope he can get back on track.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen any of his commercials lately myself.

Jared stopped going to Subway and went to Subshack!

This is what so many people just don't understand.

DIETS DO NOT WORK!!!

Sure, you may lose the weight, but you'll gain it all back and then some. You have to change your lifestyle. It's not necessarily what you eat, but how much you eat. Control your portions and get your ass off the couch and do some exercise! That's how you lose weight and keep it off. It's a psychological struggle more than anything else. You have to teach your brain to think of food as nourishment, not an emotional substitute. I'm going through it now and let me tell you, it's TOUGH and it takes TIME, but it can be done!

sunshinefizzy · 01-03-2010, 05:05 PM

That sucks. Yet, he looks happy and frankly that's all that matters.
