The Flexitarian Diet

Do you love meat but, at the same time, envy your vegetarian friends for their healthy attitude? This one might be for you. The Flexitarian diet is the lovechild of two words: flexible and vegetarian. Essentially, it’s all about being a veggie – broadly speaking – but not resisting that juicy steak or burger when the urge hits. Plant-based products are important, and flexitarians should consume proteins like tofu, nuts, eggs and beans every day. Add 30 minutes of exercise, and you’re done! According to experts, Flexitarians live an average of 3.6 years longer and weigh 15 per cent less than people who consume meat on a daily basis.
