4. 3 Dissociated diet alternative
This diet is widely used in different versions. It's defined by having a total disassociation from the food groups in each meal. The combination used on each meal is between vegetables and good-quality oils.
It's objective is to achieve a better control in each serving (helping) without mixing foods. If we choose pasta, they can be eaten with tomato sauce or with pesto, but not with cheese or sour cream.
It is used when a person needs a higher consumption of carbohydrates than the traditional plan. With this alternative, we can include them in each of the 4 courses of the day and still loose weight.
It is not a recommended diet due to the fact that it doesn't induce a modification of eating habits that can be kept throughout our lives.
