Who is Jared? Is he a real person?
Jared Fogle is the young man who lost 245 lbs. by eating nothing but SUBWAY sandwiches for almost a year in a diet program of his own design that included lots of walking and, yes, he is real. Jared came to our attention after Mens Health magazine ran an article that featured his amazing weight-loss success story. Appearing in a series of SUBWAY TV commercials beginning in January 2000, Jared has since inspired many others to follow his lead. These days, he keeps busy by traveling throughout the United States and Canada, making public appearance and doing thousands of interviews for television, radio, newspapers and magazines.
