Professor Rafi Carasso Reveals His Daily Routine That Helped Him Lose 22 kg

In a remarkable interview, Professor Rafi Carasso discusses his lifestyle transformation since undergoing a mini gastric bypass surgery about a year ago. He shares that he has already lost 22 kg and now tries to eat fewer carbohydrates and sugars, more stir-fried vegetables, proteins, some meat, chicken, and fish, and hardly any eggs. 'I almost entirely avoid dairy products,' he states.

Professor Carasso begins his dietary routine with a slice of whole wheat bread topped with a thin layer of raw tahini and a cup of black coffee without sugar. 'On filming days, I eat nothing, maybe a sandwich, because I need the blood in my brain, not my stomach. When I eat, I eat; it's not something small,' he tells 'ynet'. 'On other days, I might grab something — sometimes a half falafel pita, though that's rare. Occasionally, I'll have a can of tuna with cherry tomatoes or a can of sweet corn, peas, and beans.'

And what about water? You won't find a forced or obsessive water-drinking regimen with Professor Carasso. 'I drink when I remember or when I see my urine is too dark,' he says.

It turns out he also has thoughts on fitness. 'I think running is unhealthy, and I don't go for walks because when I get home, I'm very tired,' he explains. 'In the morning, I'd rather sleep an extra half hour than wake up early, but once a week, a trainer comes to my place, and with them, I do mainly strength and muscle exercises for a full hour.'
