When it comes to changing habits, many people often think about giving up foods that are hard to remove from their daily diet. However, there are different paths, easier to follow and without extreme restrictions. That was what television host Ion Aramendi chose.
His approach didn't go unnoticed, especially because it includes something other dietitians usually eliminate. He applied it with discipline and results, and the outcome he's achieved is generating a lot of discussion. Today, his transformation serves as an example for many.
The sandwich diet: eating bread to lose weight
The plan followed by Aramendi isn't a matter of chance. Behind it is nutritionist and pharmacist Terica Uriol, creator of the so-called "sandwich diet." This method proposes a conscious regulation of carbohydrates, avoiding excessive restriction of foods.
Contrary to what many believe, in this diet bread isn't just not eliminated, but it becomes a mandatory element. However, it must be whole grain or rye, because it's rich in fiber and more filling. The sandwiches are prepared with healthy fillings such as vegetables, tuna, chicken, turkey, avocado, or hummus.
Another key point is the size: the sandwiches shouldn't be large. This measure aims to keep calories under control, without falling into the frustration of strict diets. The result: a plan that allows people to lose weight without giving up flavor or the pleasure of eating.
A specific and complementary approach
Experts agree that this diet can be effective in the short term. However, they warn that it shouldn't be kept for a prolonged period. Its main goal is to help achieve visible results and motivate a change in habits.
Adopting this strategy requires awareness and a clear vision of the limits. Like any nutritional guideline, it must be integrated into a broader and more balanced lifestyle. The key is to combine it with exercise and a varied intake of natural foods.
Healthy eating isn't about giving up, but about learning to choose. For those who want to lose weight without going to extremes, this method offers a realistic and motivating alternative. Ion Aramendi is just one of the visible examples that, even with bread, change can be achieved.
