Being flexitarian is believed to be the easiest way to switch to a plant based diet especially if you are finding it hard to give up meat.
Flexitarianism is a dietary strategy that is predominantly a plant-based yet allows for the occasional ingestion of animal products. Flexitarians prioritise plant-based meals while remaining open to including limited amounts of meat, chicken, fish, or other animal-based foods into their diet. The name “flexitarian” is derived from the words “flexible” and “vegetarian.”
Plant-based diets often have a lesser environmental footprint than animal-based diets. Flexitarians may help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, land and water usage, and deforestation connected with industrial animal agriculture by lowering their intake of meat and other animal products.
