Thoughts on Subway?
I am craving so badly a subway sub! I usually get a turkey toasted and so it is warmed up. I had one last night but man I want one for lunch!
Would you do it?

Re: Thoughts on Subway?
I've been craving Subway too, so I'd love to know the answer also.
YES! I would definitely do it... Cutting out deli meat completely is impossible - if you get it toasted then it should be ok! (at least that's what I was told!)

Go for it!
My doc tells me to eat it if I'm craving it. I do the same thing when on Weight Watchers - otherwise, I end up eating 16 points to get around eating the 7 pts of ice cream!
When I was pregnant with DD, a lady in my bmb e-mailed Subway's corporate office. They told her they do not recommend pregnant ladies eat any of their lunch mean sandwiches unless the meat has been microwaved until steaming. They specifically said the toaster does not heat the meat high enough to kill any dangerous bacteria that may be on the meats.
As always, it's up to you. I just thought it was interesting to hear their prospective.

if its heated up go for it! if it isnt...I'd say having one here and there is not bad....there has only been like one case of listeria really reported in a long time and that was with someone in canada who wasnt pg...
my sister in law didnt cut out deli meat or soft cheese like blue cheese in any of her two pregnancies..she just limited the intake..
Subway is covering their @ss, at least that's my opinion.
I talked to my doctor about it and their practices' philosophy is this:
"If you're truly concerned about listeria, you should not eat meat, fruit, or vegetables. That's where listeria comes from, and the only sure fire way to prevent it is to not eat those things, so have fun drinking milk."
If you're getting the lunch meat from a reputable source (and my doc specifically said Subway and Jimmy Johns and probably your local grocery store) are all fairly reputable, and are eating it right away, go ahead.
The main thing is this...if you get sick and feel like you have the flu or are throwing up, see your doctor. They can test for listeria, and more importantly, they can TREAT it.
Thanks! Those were my thoughts exactly! I figure toasted is good and I can have my cravings!
I would go get that bad boy! Toasted you should be fine and even if it wasn't toasted I'd probably go for it anyway.

I am just NOT super-stressed about all the "rules." If you watch Mad Men, you know that women used to smoke and drink martinis throughout their entire pregnancies!
I enjoyed a salad with goat cheese today and didn't ask if it was pasteurized. It was delish. Enjoy your sandwich!
I've eaten Subway once, Blimpe's twice, and Firehouse Subs once. YUM!
Do it.
