Let's talk flexitarian. If you're thinking, "Flexi-what??," know that you are not alone. Flexitarian combines two words representing two different dietary principles: flexible and vegetarian. Eating a "flexitarian diet" is gaining tremendous popularity among health-conscious individuals and for good reason. If you follow such a diet, you are eating A LOT of plants, but occasionally including quality sources of animal protein from things like wild caught fish and grass-fed meat.

This approach to eating is touted as both environmentally friendly and health conscious by wellness professionals. This is because the flexitarian diet is mostly comprised of food from whole grains, vegetables, legumes, and fruit, rather than a meat-heavy diet, which can have negative effects on your health and the environment if consumed regularly. Instead, think of eating meat as an occasional side dish.
