I don't eat sandwiches since bread is horrible for your health
I tire of people continually saying that certain foods are responsible for obesityor poor health, and that those foods need to be completely avoided. A well-balanced diet is the key to health: that means a little bit of a lot of things. It does not mean you should restrict yourself to certain foods so that you can then eat "as much as you want." When a person gets fat it basically usually means that person is just plain eating too much. An occassional slice of bread won't make you fat. It should be OK to have a sandwich once in a while. Just don't eat so much food overall, and you won't get fat.

There's is zero room to deny that carbohydrates lead to an increase in blood glucose levels which stimulates insulin production. There is also no room to argue that your body can metabolize adipose tissue while insulin levels are elevated. And again, there's no room to argue against the fact that falling blood glucose levels stimulate hunger. All of that means eating carbohydrates prevents your body from metabolizing adipose tissue and creates a cycle of hunger that leads countless people to overeat. When you eat more carbohydrates than you need for energy your liver turns it into fat. Your elevated insulin levels prevent you from burning that fat. Boom. You're fat.
Perhaps your being tired is a sign that you it's time educate yourself about human metabolism and metabolic disease rather than parroting what others have told you.
Even then, it's not just obesity. Obesity is just one effect of eating carbohydrates. There are a lot of disorders that are caused by prolonged elevated insulin.

I'm pretty well-educated, and I do know about carbohydrates in the diet and also quite a bit about nutrition in general. Too much of anything is not good for you. I am not advocating for "prolonged elevated insulin." But also, bread is not poison.
If you advocate eating anything that has any significant amount of carbohydrates, including bread, on a regular basis, you ARE advocating for prolonged elevated insulin. That's what happens when you eat carbohydrates multiple times a day. That's why obesity and type II diabetes skyrocketed starting in 1980 when the dietary guidelines to eat more "healthy" (no such thing) carbs like whole grains.
