(I said body weight, this is incorrect I am still the same weight since I started)



-OffTopicNotReally-
So people have been mentioning Jared and his endeavors lately. Let me just clarify Jared did lose a lot of weight and body fat, but just eating less had more to do with his weight loss than just eating subway.

Can you gain weight by overeating subway? Yes, of course. If you overeat anything with calories, which is ANYTHING and you will gain.

Jared could have just eaten less of anything, as long as he wasn't overeating he would have eventually beat obesity.

Now after the 10% Body Fat benchmark, eating just enough is not as effective. Many may argue this, but you must eat PERFECT. Essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and carbohydrates must be consumed to fine tune your body into the single digits of body fat percentage. This is where the effects of Subway are really put to the test and is the focal point of this project along with not spending money on fitness.

In the end
weight loss =/= fat loss
2 weeks prior to "Way of the Sub" when I wasn't working out at all I actually LOST weight and GAINED body fat (about 1.5%). When this trend continues it is known as the "skinny-fat trap", meaning someone who looks skinny but is really unhealthy due to a very HIGH body fat percentage.
