Publisher's Synopsis
Flexitarianism or 'casual vegetarianism' is an increasingly popular, plant-based diet that claims to reduce your carbon footprint and improve your health with an eating regime that's mostly vegetarian yet still allows for the occasional meat dish. The rise of the flexitarian diet is a result of people taking a more environmentally sustainable approach to what they eat by reducing their meat consumption in exchange for alternative protein sources.Generally speaking, the purpose of the flexitarian diet is to reduce the amount of animal-based products you consume and replace them with whole, plant-based options. For example, replace your barbacoa taco filling with spiced black beans. However, this does not mean replacing your jerky snack with potato chips. To lose weight on a flexitarian diet, you'll need to choose the right foods to support that goal.
