Do you think it's viable to go on a Subway diet? I have been doing it for 3 days. One 6 inches for lunch and the other for dinner. I also have a Jamba juice with 300 calories for flavor and extra nutrients. I go on a treadmill for half an hour which expend around 300 calories a day. I would assume there's some afterburn which would eat up into the 1000 calories from Subway.

Don't forget about your basal metabolic rate (calories that you spend simply by being alive and existing).  A sedentary individual (someone that isn't active) is suggested to eat around 1500 calories a day.  My personal basal metabolic rate is pretty much 2000 calories.  This means my body will burn about 2000 calories while at rest!



Exercise is important (which you're doing), as it helps build muscle mass which can increase your basal metabolic rate, helping you drop excess weight.


I dropped about 20 lbs (from 200 to 180) in a year a couple years ago over a year simply with the "don't eat stupid" diet (cut out sugars, snacks, and drank more water) with exercise (cardio and weights) 3-4 times a week.

Actually, a diet is simply a set of food that something (or someone) habitually eats. Yes, it's commonly associated with "an attempt to control calories in order to lose weight," but it can be used as a noun and a healthy diet is one that will get someone enough calories, vitamins, and other nutrients, to have a healthy body.
