• Diet The 'binge' of Jennifer Lopez and her boyfriend after her (absurd?) 10-day challenge without carbohydrates and sugar

He assures that his amazing

physical transformation

is mainly due to health reasons;

that, after his amazing weight loss, he feels better than ever and can fight more strongly against the pain and extreme fatigue caused by

fibromyalgia

.

Known for her role in 'Love Actually',

Martine McCutcheon

has little or nothing to do with the curvaceous secretary for whom that peculiar British prime minister who embodied her co-star, Hugh Grant, drank the winds.

In an interview published in the British medium Ok!, the actress and singer confessed that her transformation has not been something as simple as "following a crazy diet. I think it's really important to encourage women to get the best version of themselves" .

And how did she get it?

Following one of those 'miracle' diets (or not): the

80/20 rule

.

"During

80% of the week

, I eat mainly

healthy proteins, vegetables and fruits

; also organic juices (and toast spread with margarine from a well-known brand of which she is an ambassador). The 'treats' are reserved only for the

20 %

Time Remaining".

So far, his explanation that, apparently, does not reveal anything new beyond a marketing name and that is quite reminiscent of that 'old' (and risky)

'cheat day'

strategy that advocates spending the week on a strict diet and then putting on the boots of grease and fast-absorbing carbohydrates on the so-called 'cheat day'.

But what do nutritionists think about the matter?

Do we believe it?

"The 80/20 rule, in principle, is very similar to what I propose in the Amaro Method. My patients also have

a 'free' lunch or dinner

in which they can have whatever they want", explains the endocrinologist María Amaro.

It is healthy?

It depends.

"The trick is to

distribute that 20% of foods that are not nutritionally recommended throughout the week

and not take them all in one sitting on the same day, subjecting our body to difficult digestion."

What goes into that

80%

of what we should eat?

Amaro details it: "Water, vegetables, fruit, fish, meat... That is, everything that is healthy food."

And in the

remaining

20 ?

"You know, all those 'whims' (pizza, sweets, 'fast food') that we usually deprive ourselves of but allow ourselves from time to time."

The secret is in

moderation and knowing how to choose well the foods

that we include in that 20%.

"The objective is that we opt for the

least 'harmful' option:

a homemade cake is better than an industrial pastry; a beer or a glass of wine is better -although alcohol consumption should be zero- than a gin and tonic", he points out. .

Conclusion?

That 80/20 that Martine McCutcheon has done so well can be a valid rule to 'order' our meals and allow ourselves, from time to time, some 'excess'.

"It would be worth it as long as it helps us achieve a

balance

because, after all,

nobody can spend their life on a diet

," concludes Amaro.
