Fogle catapulted to fame after he lost 245 pounds by simply eating Subway sandwiches. He also incorporated walking into his daily routine.

"I was reborn in every sense of the word," he said in a 1999 interview with the campus newspaper at Indiana University. "Subway helped save my life and start over. I can't ever repay that."
