What is the Flexitarian Diet?

The flexitarian diet, which does not yet have an official definition, is referred to as flexible vegetarianism or semi-vegetarianism. In this plan, where more plant-based foods are preferred, meat and other animal foods can also be consumed in a controlled manner. In other words, it is based on the moderate consumption of red or animal foods such as meat, dairy products and eggs. The principles of the flexitarian diet can be briefly summarized as follows: 

• Fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains are consumed freely. 

• Plant-based protein sources are often preferred over animal protein. 

• In a diet based on flexibility, meat and animal products are not prohibited. They can be included in the diet from time to time. 

• Processed foods are consumed less. Natural foods are included in the nutrition routine as much as possible. 

• Refined sugar and sweets have a limited place in the diet.

The flexitarian diet, which focuses on what should be eaten rather than what is forbidden, is a stopping point for those who do not define themselves as vegetarians. In this diet where healthier nutritional principles are applied, strict rules are replaced by the freedom to eat consciously. In the flexitarian diet, where animal foods are restricted due to possible harms such as cholesterol, nutritious plant-based meals gain importance. This new eating habit creates an attractive area, especially for those who want to increase plant-based foods and reduce animal-based foods in their lives.

What are the Benefits of the Flexitarian Diet?

Because it is a relatively new trend, many studies do not directly mention the flexitarian diet. However, the health benefits of flexible vegetarianism can be estimated from the potential benefits of a plant-based diet. We should remind you that in order to experience the potential benefits seen in the studies, you should consume as little processed food as possible, with a high amount of plant-based foods and whole grains. Of course, the flexitarian diet itself needs more research
