I was on the go today, a little crunched for time, and had not prepared anything healthy to eat in advance. So what did I do? I went to Subway. Here is what I ordered: A footlong veggie sub on whole grain wheat bread. They always ask you what kind of cheese you would like. No cheese for me Mrs. Subway lady! Toppings included: spinach leaves, lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, green pepper, oil & vinegar. If you usually like mayonnaise then you may want to ask them to go a little heavy on the oil and vinegar. You can also ask them to add extra of any of the toppings and they will be happy to. As you may know, their bread is delicious and it sounds nutritious with a name like whole grain wheat. I am just not 100% sure of all the ingredients obviously so I do not have a clue if there is anything in that bread that I shouldn't be eating. But honestly, if eating whole grain wheat bread from Subway is the worst thing you do then you are doing pretty dang good in my book!
If you are not used to eating this way then this sub may not sound too appetizing to you but I can assure you that it is. I have had these in the past (before I ever knew about the Hallelujah Diet) and would let my friends try them and they were always pleasantly surprised at how good they are. So, if time and pre-planning is your problem then here is a simple solution that will make you feel good when you are ordering it because the girl (or guy) making your sandwich and the people around you in line will see that you care about your body and health and who knows, you may even motivate some of them to try to be healthier!
P.S. You can get veggie subs like this anywhere that makes subs. For my Florida friends, Publix makes a mean veggie sub as well!
OMG I love those subs! I usually add turkey to mine but I am going to go for the veggie delight on Monday. I've started snacking on fruits and veggies instead of anything else during the day. It's so yummy!
