What is the Flexitarian Diet?

Unlike strict vegans and vegetarians, A Flexitarian diet doesn't completely cut meat from consumption, it simply limits the amount of animal protein in your daily meal choices.

Flexitarian is a marriage of two words: flexible and vegetarian. The term was coined more than a decade ago. Becoming a flexitarian is about adding five food groups to your diet – not taking any away. These are: the "new meat" (non-meat proteins like beans, peas or eggs); fruits and veggies; whole grains; dairy; and sugar and spice.

A five-week meal plan provides breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack recipes. You can follow the plan as it's outlined, or swap recipes from different weeks to meet your preferences.

It's a three-four-five regimen: Breakfast choices are around 300 calories, lunches 400 and dinners 500. Snacks are about 150 calories each; add two, and your daily total clocks in at 1,500 calories.

It’s likely you’ll shed pounds on the Flexitarian Diet. Research shows vegetarians tend to eat fewer calories, weigh less and have a lower body mass index (a measure of body fat) than their meat-eating peers.
