Maybe I’m just utterly bitter because I haven’t been able to enjoy a good Subway sub for quite a while, but I find this photo completely hilarious! Seriously, though, Jared has been an incredible inspiration for quite a few of us. I have to admit that, the first time I saw the Jared ad, I was quite impressed. After reading the article about Jared’s weight loss that was photocopied and posted at the local Subway I did some research and found out some more information. Shortly thereafter, Jared’s ads started showing up on TV displaying his progress.
I had always been a Subway fan and that just gave me more of an excuse to fold it into my meal plan. On my first weight loss stint with Weight Watchers I had Subway almost every day and that helped me drop around 30 pounds. Unfortunately, I slacked off about three years ago and stopped losing weight. Now, with Atkins, I’m down another 65 pounds. The meal planning is so much easier, but I’m dying for a 12″ turkey on hearty italian with lettuce, onions, pickles, black olives, jalapeños, american cheese, oil, vinegar and oregano!
Remember, though… Subway also makes custom salads. Their lunchmeats are usually pretty regular (ie, not super-processed), so there’s not too much in the way of hidden carbs. Any sub can be converted to a salad, and they’re really, really good about putting the nutritional information of all of their ingredients in a prominent place.

Yeah, but I can’t justify paying Subway prices for a simple salad with some lunch meat tossed on top. Toss in their hearty italian bread and Southwest sauce, though, and it’s worth the cash!
Hahah, true, true.
I need to figure out what to do for lunch… my Atkins morning coffee kickstarted me pretty hard this morning…
Dunkin Donuts Large black iced coffee (~24oz + 8oz ice) = 2 carbs
2 Packets Splenda(TM) [going for 1 next time] = 2 carbs
1 tbsp heavy cream = 0 carbs
…
4 carbs for my old vice in pre-Atkins… not bad. Not great, but not bad.

It would appear that Andrew is trying to be the next Jared………I can see the slogan now…..”Subway and Atkins go hand in hand, just ask Atkins Andy!”
