About Subway and Jamba juice

Food Babe is a lunatic. She's into any and every kooky "cleanse" fad around. (My favorite was the epic post about how you need to "chew" your veggie juice while juice fasting to "release the powers of the superfoods within" or some such BS.0

"Food Babe" is crazy and often has no idea what she is talking about. Did you read her post about how microwaves turn water into "Satan water" (that is, she thinks microwaves form crystals in water that are identical to the crystals that are formed when you tell the words "Satan!" at water)?
Did you read her post about how the pressurization in airplanes is dangerous (never mind that the pressurization is simply to recreate the pressure we would be experiencing on the ground)?
She is a huge advocate of "detoxing" and other completely bogus nutritional fads. She preys on fear and under-education in science to fearmonger. I wouldn't rely on anything found in her blog unless I could verify it elsewhere.
Please be kidding. No one could actually think that, right?
The post in question was taken down after attracting widespread ridicule, but a cached version is still available.Last by not least, Dr. Masaru Emoto, who is famous for taking pictures of various types of waters and the crystals that they formed in the book called “Hidden Messages in Water,” found water that was microwaved did not form beautiful crystals – but instead formed crystals similar to those formed when exposed to negative thoughts or beliefs. If this is happening to just water – I can only imagine what a microwave is doing to the nutrients, energy of our food and to our bodies when we consume microwaved food. For the experiment pictured above, microwaved water produced a similar physical structure to when the words “satan” and “hitler” were repeatedly exposed to the water. This fact is probably too hokey for most people – but I wanted to include it because sometimes the things we can’t see with the naked eye or even fully comprehend could be the most powerful way to unlock spontaneous healing.
The entire post is just a load of woo woo, but the whole "Satan water" thing just takes the cake.

You should probably add Peeps to your diet to balance things out.0

I have no words.
It's why I always whisper "I love you" into my glass before drinking the water. I mean, she's probably wrong, but I have to stay on the safe side.

The smallest size fruit+veggie one is 180 cals. That's not bad, but how many people get the smallest size of anything anymore?

LMAO! It is easy enough, I'm going to try it! Why stop at water though!
On another note, I'm glad to hear that food babe is nutters. I have a FB friend who is always quoting her and I feel like no food is fit to eat anymore. I just don't have time (or desire, when I do have time) to do all the research required to find out which food is healthy and which is not… which is why these forums are great.0 -
On another note, I worked at a Jamba Juice in college… ions ago. The smoothies are really just as good if you make them with water, instead of the super sweet juice that they use. You can also just ask them to use 1/2 juice and 1/2 water in the smoothie. It seems like (I'm not sure about this one) that most of the calories come from this juice that they add since it is so sweet.0

Just track your calories and you should be fine. For the subway sandwiches the thing I would be most worried about is sodium from the lunch meat. If you have 1 six inch sub a day and low sodium/fresh foods the rest of the day, I don't see a problem with it as long as it fits in your calories.0

I do. In fact, I find myself wishing places would have smaller sizes all the time. I realize I'm not representative of the whole population, but other people I know have said the same.0 -

That's great! I'm willing to bet you are an exception, though.
How many times has someone posted on these forums about not tracking fruits/veggies because they "don't count" on other programs (i.e. Weight Watchers)? I feel like a lot of people falsely believe that JJ is lower in calories than it is because fruit and veggies are "free".

Oh I didn't know that! Okay thanks!

An entirely valid point. It's fruit and veggies so it's good for me right?0 -

Well that is... Beyond nuts. No, like, I don't even know how to convey how nuts that is.0 -
I don't know if it's bad. Personally I would be concerned about all of the sugar in the jamba juice. I know they are so tasty and they may be low calorie, but for me it would greatly interfere with my weight loss and spike my insulin levels. If processed meats aren't a concern for you then subway is okay-ish. I really wouldn't recommend eating those things more than once a week. But every one is different, some people handle sugar and carbs like a champ, me on the other hand not so much.0

Well, I guess that is good . . . unless it's "Satan water." Then it will still probably make you gain weight.
Seriously, asking them to make it with water is a great tip. I do this at home all the time and the smoothies are still really good.0 -

I get the ones with low calorie though, are they still not safe? So getting them most of the times isn't a good thing then even if they're fruit smoothies?
Define "safe".
Safe in terms of healthy, all natural, no preservatives
If this is your idea of healthy food, you probably shouldn't be eating out. Ever. There may be resturants that serve "all natural" foods, but I personally wouldn't be able to afford them. The only way to make your food "safe" by this defination is to make it ALL yourself at home.
And Satan water? "Yes, please, I want Satan water with my meal. Please don't put it next to the Holy water, though, I don't want to deal with enevitable fight." XD0
