A man who committed to eating only Subway for an entire month has revealed the shocking effects it had on his body.
Sure, a foot-long sub makes for a solid lunch break meal, but having it every single day? That’s bound to get old fast, right?
Not to mention the potential impact of consuming packed sandwiches daily on long-term health.
Despite this, Frian Frias from Canada took on the challenge of sticking solely to Subway’s menu for a full month, and the results were more surprising than expected.
Regular Subway customers know the menu offers more than just its famous sandwiches. While Frian Frias primarily stuck to subs, he occasionally treated himself to cookies and chips. However, since his goal was weight loss, he limited these indulgences.
Determined to shed a stone, the Canadian content creator adopted a one-meal-a-day approach, making Subway his sole source of food. His typical choice was a foot-long veggie sandwich paired with a small potato bun, while cookies and chips served as occasional afternoon snacks.
With this diet, Frian was consuming approximately 670 calories daily, only about a quarter of the 2,500-calorie recommendation for the average male. By focusing on healthier sandwich options and avoiding meat, he successfully lost over a stone (15 pounds or 8 kg) in just one month.
At the end of the challenge, the YouTuber stepped on the scales and recorded a final weight of 12st 11lbs.
The type of bread Frian Frias chose played a crucial role in his weight loss. In his video, he explained, “The 9-grain wheat and the flatbread are made from whole grains, they contain complex carbohydrates.”
You might expect that after a month of eating nothing but Subway, he’d be sick of it, but surprisingly, that’s not the case.
“I’m still going to have Subway on a regular basis after this, I’m just going to take a little bit of a break,” he admitted.
Probably a wise decision.
This comes after a woman who ate only fruit for an entire month shared the unexpected effects it had on her body.
