A fast food chain sponsering a tv show about losing weight...what a good message to be sending out.

I just thought it was a bit ironic
And as another poster said, healthy living is not about the slimming supplements. It's about balance and Subway know what they're doing - it's not like they're portraying a greasy deep-fried Mars bar in a sub.
It's true that a fully-loaded Subway sandwich has more fat than a Big Mac, but there are lots of healthy options too. You can find the "healthy heart" logo on Subway menus, so if you choose only those items you can't go too far wrong.
As with anything else, moderation is the key. You can easily eat Subway (or KFC or McDs) and suffer no ill effects, provided you do it as part of a balanced diet with exercise.
There's "fast food" and there's "fast food". KFC is a fast food company, but so is Prét-à-Manger.
Thanks, I thought I'd missed it, Davina will be a plus point, I'm not all that keen on Kate G...:)
anyone dieting, try the protein diet
3 protein shakes per day and 1 meal at night steak and green beans and drink green tea and water only
been doing it 3 days and my body is feeling firmer already, my mrs friend did it for 5 weeks and lost 1 stone,
Not good if you have a lot of weight to lose as you would be bored silly in a few months. Doesn't sound like it teaches new habits either.
"Yeah I don't know what to do, Contestant A!"
"Well conetestant B, I have this ORBIT COMPLETE GUM on me randomly even though we live on a ranch with heavily restricted diet chosen for us by specialists, it stops cravings and only has 5 calories"
So natural.
Sounds terrible, 3 days first of all is not enough to make a difference. Secondly you're starving yourself by eating a single meal hence the huge unhealthy deficit. You will not be healthy and won't maintain the weight. Protein promotes muscle growth which should = put on weight (lean muscle mass). However since the rest of your diet stinks you'll still be losing muscle. Enjoy being weak and tired.
Not enough veg and fibre. You'll end up seriously constipated.
Sounds great..... apart from the dehydration, mood swings, foul breath and constipation.
"You might not be a vegetarian, but your tatty clothes and your odour suggest otherwise"
His weight loss was less to do with a diet of Subway sandwiches and more to do with the personal trainers and dieticians he was supplied with.
It's well know that when you start to diet, the first few days you lose fluid, which makes you think you've lost weight, but you haven't really. It's the body's way of adjusting.
i think people really need to look up this diet and what protein actually does to the body.
I might add i'm not big, thin with a bit of a gut, hence why i feel more toned.
So should you really be recommending the same diet to over weight people - possibly very over weight people who may need to be on a diet for months/years ?
the diet is not forever 5 weeks max then you introduce more food, veg, wholegrain past for the carbs etc.
my mrs friend who was 16 stone is now 15 stone and shes in her 40's
Alot of people dont actually realize the foods they eat.
they see grapes and think thats healthy..grapes are fully of carbs and if you dont burn them off it turn to fat.
protein not only adds lean muscles but also burns more carbs than you'd think.
It's not as simple as that, natural sugar is handled a lot differently to refined sugar i.e. sweets. As long as you aren't eating insane amounts they will not affect you the way refined shitey sugar does. When it comes down to it, losing weight is all calories in/calories out - all you need is a deficit. WHAT you actaully eat dictates how healthy you'll be as well as what gets burned by the body. Grapes are healthy and don't make you fat...
Protein loading is worse than eating grapes.
