While I don't think he looks healthy to a complete degree, compared to where he was and where he is now, it's almost two completely different people. While he might not be perfect, Subway uses him as a promotion to say that if you eat healthy and look where it can take you. Granted it takes A LOT more than that to lose that much weight but in a way it gives hope and motivation to others.

Just a regular looking guy if you ask me. Nothing horribly unattractive about him, nothing worthy of George Clooney comparisons. Just your everyday guy who's very lucky that going on a diet years ago and succeeding drew the attention of Subway who put some serious fat cash in his pockets.

 

There was a time that I used to carry around too many pounds and now I don't, but I'm not buff by any stretch. I would have gladly taken his place to be set for life like that.

 

He can probably get through life pretty easily everyday without screaming fans trying to rip his clothes off, or getting on his nerves asking for an autograph.

 

Not a bad deal for just being an Average Joe.

 

I imagine that "Average" is what Subway was going for as it served them quite well as average is what the majority of us pretty much are.

Just because he doesn't have any muscle tone doesn't mean he is unhealthy. There are many out there who live a healthy lifestyle that don't necessarily look jacked up or tone. While I don't think he looks healthy to a complete degree, compared to where he was and where he is now, it's almost two completely different people. While he might not be perfect, Subway uses him as a promotion to say that if you eat healthy and look where it can take you.

I buy this if this was 14 years ago. He is being paid to be a fitness spokesperson. He can only do so much genetically. However, what I saw yesterday was someone that looked bad and here he is pitching a healthy alternative. Dude is worth millions and the point of his contract is tied into his "look." Pick up a weight.

B-ball-fan nailed it. He's not some fitness guru, just a guy who lost a 250 pounds while largely eating at Subway and parlayed that success into a career. Good for him.

He looks like $15 million bucks to me!

I guess I have a little more pride in myself. If I have been given a new lease on life, I wouldn't muddle like that. Money is awesome, and he has much more than I'll ever come close to getting if I live 5 life times, but there is something to be said about being the best that you can be for your job.

I try to be more understanding of people and the struggles they go through. If Subway ever has a problem I'm sure they will address it and he will do what needs to be done or he will be eased out as spokesman. Wouldn't be the first time it's happened. I think his "normal person" look probably has a greater impact on potential customers than if he was some buff spokesman. Reality helps and the reality is that he has the look of someone who has lost a lot of weight and struggles to maintain the loss. Many people can identify with him.

He looks like $15 million bucks to me!

:lol2: In a topic that probably isn't as deserving of as much discussion as we're giving it, that's still the funniest and most clever comment regarding it yet. :thumb:

I don't think one has to have ripped muscles to have pride in oneself. One doesn't even have to be toned to have pride in oneself. The goal is to be fit, but that differs from one individual to the next. Many people that society views as "fat slobs" actually are physically fit. They have good biometrics, exercise regularly and eat healthily. No matter how hard they try, they'll not be what society has dictated to be acceptable.

 

Maybe he IS the best that he can be for his job, for his personal life, or anything else. He just is what he is. And frankly for millions of normal Americans who struggle with weight, he looks like they'd like to look. And I think that's the audience Subway is ultimately appealing to. Not the fitness buffs and health nuts. Ordinary Americans who need cheap food, but want to eat healthy and be healthy. If you're careful, you really can have a healthy meal at Subway, and relatively inexpensively.

I know someone that knew and went to school with him personally and reported on how he looked BEFORE he went on the Subway diet. By his estimation, Jared is doing pretty well to not be dead or couch bound. He's not being paid to be a fitness spokesperson, just a spokesperson. If dude can make $15 million off a company that pushes a cold sandwich, I call that America...

...for the record, apparently the Subway diet started as much out of convenience as anything. It was the closest food source to his apartment.
