Flexitarian Diet

The Flexitarian diet is a semi-vegetarian approach that emphasises eating mostly plant-based foods while allowing for occasional meat and animal products. It’s flexible and focuses on:

• Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes as mainstays.
• Plant-based proteins (like beans, tofu, nuts) instead of meat.
• Limited intake of processed and sugary foods.
• Occasional meat, fish, or poultry in moderation.

It aims to offer the health benefits of a vegetarian diet (like improved heart health and lower risk of diabetes) without full restriction. It’s also considered more sustainable and accessible for people transitioning from a meat-heavy diet.
