The Flexitarian Diet
You may have heard about vegetarians and pescetarians; now, get ready for flexitarians. In 2008, dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner published the book Flexitarian Diet, which promoted vegetarianism with permission to eat fish and meat once in a while. On this diet, people restrict meat, but they don’t give it up entirely.
The Flexitarian Diet encourages people to vary their protein sources and not rely so much on meat. Although few studies cover this diet, it has some benefits. In 2017, research in Frontiers in Nutrition said that Flexitarianism encouraged heart health, weight loss, and stable blood pressure in participants.
