Description
Jared Fogel was, is, and will continue to be America's weight loss icon. As an obese college student in Indiana he lost 245 pounds on a self-devised diet of Subway sandwiches. Since 2000, he has appeared thousands of times on national television as the spokesperson for Subway's Eat healthy Platform; and he's slated to continue in this role indefinitely. In fact, Subway worried that he might be getting overexposed and decided to discontinue him. Sales fell off. Jared was quickly rehired. But show more to keep him from being overexposed, Subway's program runs Jared for six or eight weeks every three months. His book is not so much a diet book (his diet was pretty simple to grasp - eat Subway sandwiches) but it's more a motivational, self-help book which offers hope to people who want to change their lives. Jared has also appeared on Oprah, Larry King Live, the Today Show, Good Morning America, the Jane Pauly Show and has made hundreds of speaking appearances and public appearances at sports and civic events. Jared's lessons include: Find Your Own Personal Spark One Size Doesn't Fit All Change Your Mind to Change Your Life See the Big Picture Change is for Life The Harder You Work, the Luckier You Get show lessTags

I enjoyed this book even more than I thought I would. It was fun reading about Jared's story and I could relate to a lot of what he said, even though I'm just overweight, not morbidly obese. He says this isn't a diet book, and while I can see where it was going with the other ideas, it really seems to serve best to those of us who have struggled with our weight.
picked this up out of curiosity because I remember the peak of the Jared commercials. I didn't have any great hopes but figured I'd enjoy a light, fluff read. It was shockingly better than I expected.
If I'd read this before I started on my WLJ, or before beginning WW, I'd hhave been surprised at someone eating 10K calories, but I've learned a lot about eating habits of late. Jared's scale obsession was the other direction of mine. He didn't want to know - I "need" t know but I think it worked well for him. Kudos on him for sticking with what would work for him. Filling the void is impressive. One day I want ot be where he is.

A very quick and easy read. Somewhat inspirational.
