"The SUBWAY® chain helped save my life over and over. I can't ever repay that."

 – Jared Fogle

Body Stats

• Height: 6' 2''
• Starting weight: 425 pounds
• Current weight: 190 pounds

Jared’s Diet

• Diet Start Date: Mid-March 1998
• Ending diet date: Early March 1999
• What Fogle ate everyday:
  • Breakfast - coffee
  • Lunch - "I ate the 6-inch turkey, tons of vegetables, including hot peppers and a bit of spicy mustard." He left off the mayonnaise and cheese and had a bag of Baked Lays® potato chips and a diet soft drink
  • Dinner – Foot-long veggie sub - again no mayonnaise or cheese
• Why SUBWAY® sandwiches? There is a SUBWAY® restaurant right next to where Fogle’s apartment had been while he was at the university. He passed by everyday.

Fitness Routine

• Exercise during diet: At first nothing, until he got down to about 300 lbs. Slowly, he replaced riding the bus with walking to classes. By 250 pounds, he walked everywhere during the day. Typically 1.5 miles per day.

Motivation

• He stayed motivated with the help of his college friend, JL (currently in medical school), and with the support of his family.

Jared’s Maintenance Strategy

• Today Fogle still enjoys his favorite SUBWAY® sandwiches, but has expanded his palate. He always chooses foods low in fat and still drinks only "diet" beverages in addition to continuing his walking regimen.
