Subject: Jared, the Subway guy

Written By: 80sRocked on 02/02/03 at 10:07 p.m.

you all know Jared, the guy on TV that lost all that weight by eating Subway.  

Am I the only one that is totally tired of seeing this guy?  He had his 15 mins, now its time to go away.


What do you all think?

I want to see him gain back his 245 pounds and lose it again on the Subway diet.  

Jared and Clay Henry need to go away.  They kept interrupting my NCAA tournament watching experience.  Quizno's is superior in all definitions of the word anyway.

That Jared kid has a dream job, and all because he lost 300 pounds.  All he has to do is make commercials and be a Subway spokesmen.  He got a hot wife out of the deal too.

I wonder if she would have married him when he was a penniless fat whale?

doubtful...I still say the reason he lost all the weight wasn't healthy subs, it was that he could only afford one meal a day.  He blew his entire food budget on Subway...that place is expensive.

And, no I wouldn't be hurt if he left the scene for good.

I have never even seen the ads (and yes we DO have subway here) but from what I have read I don't like the whole concept already.

If he gained a wife then surely that's 100 - 150 pounds you have to put back on to his tally, right ?  ;D

You never see Jared with his shirttail tucked in.  Is it because he has rolls of skin falling over his belt buckle where he lost all that weight or what?  I'm tired of seeing him in the Subway commercials, too.   ::)

You know, I thought about going on the Subway diet, but then I woke up.  I am not one for dry sandwiches and the sound of a sub with no mayo or cheese just doesn't sound appealing.  Congrats to him on the weight loss, but at least he's not as annoying as that stupid "He's Henry, Clay Henry" song (which I could probably sing word for word :() that goes through your mind for an hour after you see the darned commercial.

Yes, I'm ready for Jared to go the way of the Dunkin' Donuts guy and Clara Peller!!  Does the advertising industry not understand the concept of running something into the ground? You eventually get tired of hearing/seeing the same old stuff over and over again! I hope Jared is an only child!


Edited because I couldn't spell "something". ::)

He lost weight by:

coffee for breakfast
6 inch turkey sub with all the veggie, diet drink and baked chips for lunch
12 inch veggie sub and diet drink for supper.

after he lost the first 100 pounds he started walking.

One can assume he is exercising in a different way now since he has a wife. ;D

I believe it.  Jarred was taking in only 800 calories per day.  2000-2500 calories is what you need to maintain your weight.  At Jared's old weight, he would have probably needed about 5000-6000 calories a day just to break even.

I know the subway diet works cause i worked at a Subway for 11 months and lost 40 pounds during that time and even though they are running Jared into the ground he did boost sales for Subway i know the stores i worked at the income of the stores almost doubled after those commercials started.

Maybe if we asked nicely, Mr. T will stop doing 1-800-COLLECT commercials for a while and beat the crap out of Jared and Carrot Top...now we just need to go on a charity drive for gold chains so we have enough bait for Mr. T ;)

Its very admirable that he lost all that weight.  But, I have decided that he is a HORRIBLE PITCHMAN and I am long since sick of him.  They sure like to drive an idea into the ground.  Move on Subway, move on.

you are right.  If I eat the same thing for more than a couple days I'm sick of it.  I couldn't imagine eating the exact same menu for an entire year.

I have my doubts that he ate the same thing every day for the whole time.  We'll never know for sure, but I doubt it.

Thats not necessarly true cause you can make tons of combinations when it comes to the sandwiches.  When i worked there i ate a sandwich everytime i worked which was 5 days a week and i never really got tired of the sandwiches cause i just never had the same thing right in a row.

yea but he said he ate a six inch turkey sub with lettuceevery day for a year.  Sure you can put different veggies on it, but bottom line is its still a turkey sub.  And I don't know about you, but eating a 6 inch turkey sub for 365 days in a row would really be disgusting and hard to swallow.
