SUBWAY: Final Rating, Day 14, Cory

I did alright on my last day.  I mixed it up some, because I wanted to eat up the fruit and veggies that were older and were gonna go bad.  So I had a small sandwich instead of a sub at dinner, and then had two pieces of fruit for the day, instead of one.  I'm gonna finish up the milk before bed - i.e., have two glasses of milk today, instead of my usual one.  But that's gotta get used up too.  Did my usual exercise bike stuff, no problema.

FINAL RATINGS

--EFFECTIVENESS: B
Did it work for weight loss? I think this was a little faster than the Slimfast, but still nothing dramatic.  Makes sense as it is more restrictive and less sugary.  Also, I confess I never get on the scale, and judge solely by the way my clothes fit - so grain of salt on my judgment here. (I have a tendency to obsess about the numbers, so I do better just not knowing the numbers.)

--EASE OF USE: A++
Was the food easy to obtain and prepare and take to work and adapt to the everyday? I said last week that it would be hard to be easier than the Slimfast diet, but actually, this was easier.  I mean - cereal in the morning, sandwiches for lunch and dinner.  It could not be easier unless Cappy prepared my sandwiches for me.

--ENERGY LEVELS: B
Were energy levels high, or did it make us feel weak or tired? No problem in this area.  Same as last week: I never felt weak or faint from the diet, or anything like that.  I wouldn't say I had "more energy" than usual, but I definitely didn't have less.

--HUNGER FULFILLMENT AND CRAVINGS:  C
Were hunger levels and cravings reasonable, or terrible?  I don't know if it is because I am into the 3rd and 4th week, or because of the more restrictive fare, but I did have a harder time with cravings, and twice had a light "midnight snack" so I could stop feeling so hungry and get some sleep.

--OVERALL :  B
How was it overall?  I liked it better the first week than the second week, when I was getting really tired of the same-old, same-old.  I can't imagine how Jared did this for over a year!

Would I do it again?  Yes, after I gave it some time.  I mean, I was bored with the subs, and don't feel like going back to subs for awhile.  And if I did it again, I'd be likely to do it for one week, instead of two.

NEXT UP!

We've decided on the Peanut Butter diet - see my Day 13 post and comment for info.
