Laura George, dietitian-nutritionist and founder of the Laura George Nutrition, Psychology and Health Center, explains to us that in this type of diet, which guides the daily consumption of bread, but the amount adapts to each person’s carbohydrate needs. For a moderate amount of protein, come from quality, low-fat foods, such as white meat, vegetables that accompany those sandwiches, and a minimal amount of fat.
Dietitian-nutritionist Antonio Andujar explains to us first The snack diet is based on the concept of balanced nutrition. “A healthy diet should consist of 50% carbohydrates, 30% fat and 20% protein,” recalls the expert. “If we transfer these parameters to a meal, that meal can be perfectly a sandwich as well as a plate of rice with chicken and vegetables,” Antonio tells us. “Sandwiches have always had a bad press, and we’ve tended to demonize bread.”He explained. For this reason, he says, he understands why the sandwich diet is so appealing. Elisa Blazquez assures that this diet “has become very fashionable because Seems simple and practicalBut you have to be careful because It’s very simplified”
© @chevremiamiBoth Antonio and Elisa agree that the sandwich diet, a priorityIt can work (as can any other calorie-restricted eating plan). However, for Elisa, “it’s not just about counting calories or limiting meals to snacks. Important factors are quality and variety of ingredients” she says. “A whole wheat sourdough bread, a good source of protein, fresh vegetables and healthy fats can make it an option from time to time,” she says. “But planning it for every day of the week doesn’t help. People learn to eat and make better choices,” warns the expert.
Elisa reassures This approach can lead to a lack of variety and nutrients Essential nutrients that come from other food groups such as fruits, vegetables and legumes. “As a nutritionist, I would recommend separating any dietary strategies And make sure it promotes metabolic flexibility and Long-term health” he noted.
© @mile_end_bagelsLaura George agrees with Elisa. It tells us “To lose weight and make our diet balanced and healthy, it is better to change the source of carbohydrates. of carbon, not always using bread (even if it is whole grain) but it is not forbidden, and finally, a lot of vegetables and fruits with quality proteins and fats “to lose fat in a healthy way we should also have this diet with physical activity, ” he noted.
To all this we must add, as Antonio Andujar points out, “from As long as you don’t eat dinner too early or are a person with high energy needs, Having a sandwich for dinner is not the best option“In short, if you want to have it from time to time and choose quality bread and healthy ingredients and take it as breakfast, lunch or snack, there will be no problem. But nutritionists do not support using it as the only source. Food to lose weight And much less that it becomes the only thing that is eaten for a long time. A healthy diet should not only be balanced but also varied.
