A flexitarian is person has consumes a semi-vegetarian diet where he can occasionally consume meat.

It is considered a situation where you have veggies for 6 days of the week and then comes a day of your week off where you can consume meat of your choice on that day.

It repeats as a cycle and thus flexitarians are vegetarians with exemptions.

Some of the pros of being a flexitarian are:

You are not meat deprived, you get to take taste meat every once in a while.

You will earn all the proteins and nutrients present especially in meat.

It helps you in building muscle pretty quick.

You are flexible with your diet

Save money. You can save up money when you just eat veggies for most of your life.

Consider it as a lifestyle rather than a diet.

Some of the cons of being a flexitarian are:

You are not considered a vegetarian.

You will not receive as much protein as you do when you eat meat.

You will have meat cravings more than usual at the initial stage.

You will lack in iron and vitamin B12

So, being a flexitarian helps you balance your diet well and also provide you with a lot more pro’s than cons.

Bruce Friedrich says, “If people influenced by health consequently cut back on fish and meat consumption – that helps animals. If two people cut their meat in half it helps as much as one person going completely vegetarian.”

Try a flexitarian diet for a month and let us know your experience!! 🙂
