One of the things that makes this diet so much better than all those fad diets that the internet, the magazine industry and thousands of weight loss forums are swamped with is the fact that it isn’t just about weight loss. Sure, turning flexitarian will inevitably lead to weight loss, but it is healthy weight loss; you will be enjoying a wider range of healthier foods. Being flexitarian actually improves your health as well as helping you become slimmer. Flexitarianism isn’t just an option for meat eaters who are attracted to vegetarianism; it is also a healthy approach for vegetarians who would like to introduce some meat into their diets for health reasons or personal preferences. Try to view your diet as a fluid aspect of your life; just because you are a vegetarian doesn’t mean you cannot revise your needs and desires and alter how you eat. In the same way, being a meat eater who decides to reduce the amount of meat in your diet doesn’t mean you cannot commit to full vegetarianism; flexitarianism is a lifestyle choice in its own right, so work out what is best for you and ignore the social pressure to fall neatly into either the veggie category or the meat eater category. Weight Loss Vegetarians actually tend to be slimmer than those who eat meat regularly. They consume fewer calories and studies suggest that they feel fuller for longer. Think about how many vegetables and grains you could eat for the same calorific impact as a typical steak; vegetarians typically feel full after many fewer calories. It makes sense that if you eat less meat but replace it with lots of high calorie alternatives, then you aren’t going to lose weight! If you are using a flexitarian diet in order to lose excess weight, then the same rules apply whether you were a meat eater or vegetarian before making a move to flexitarianism; you’ve got to make healthy choices. Simply reducing the meat in your diet won’t have a noticeable effect on your weight unless you are aware of what the meat is being replaced by and make a conscious effort to choose the right types of foods. For flexitarians, the best way to replace some of the meat in your diet is to seek out healthy sources of protein.
