You can talk about vegetarianism, vegan and other diets that society takes as its own to lead a lifestyle according to its tastes and inclinations, but what is the Flexitarian diet.

If we relevise your name, it tells us a lot. It is only a flexible vegetarian diet to the consumption of animal protein, that is, it does not take the rules of a vegetarian lifestyle to the limit.

5 Reasons to Follow this Diet

• It is good for health since its nutritional routine contains carbohydrates, fiber and antioxidants, mainly.
• In recent years, the consumption of food ‘scrap’ (fast) has increased, especially hamburger, which is detrimental to the body not only by containing fat, but because it is red meat. According to a study, the consumption of this meat generates greater risk to suffer from carcinogenic diseases or infarcts. Therefore, in this diet the animal protein consumption only is 1 or 2 times a week.
• Those who practice this lifestyle manage to lose weight due to the balanced consumption of fruits and vegetables.
• Thanks to the low consumption of meat, the environment is favored since more environmental resources are needed to care for an animal to grow plants.
• Taking into account that this diet allows animal protein consumption 1 or 2 times per week, the Flexitarian may consume fish and better quality meat, because you can pay a little more for a good product.
