Staying fit and healthy is the number one goal for most people. Next in line is to lose weight. However, many take these newfound goals to the extreme and will literally try anything to achieve them. What’s even more daunting is the fact that businesses are very well aware of this and hit the ground running with new (and sometimes scary) ways to lose weight…and lose it fast! Some work for a while of course, but after all the pills and special drinks have dried up, will your new and improved look last? Will you even feel the same?

For this diet to succeed, you’d have to eat very specific items from Subway’s menu and keep up a strict regimen of exercise. At the end of it all, it wouldn’t be much of a difference between making your own sandwich at home and going for a brisk stroll to the local bodega.
