I may be an omnivore, but I still believe most of us are best off when we eat primarily plant-based foods, with small amounts of animal sources of protein if appropriate. It’s kinder to our bodies and to the planet—not to mention the other animals that live here! If you’ve been with me awhile, then you know I like to practice what I preach.
The folks at Everyday Health recently sent me this infogram on vegetarianism. Note that even following a “semi-vegetarian” diet reduce your risk of serious health conditions. Flexitarianism, anyone? If that sounds like your bag, you might dig Mark Bittman’s VB6 approach too!
What are your thoughts on plant-based diets? Any favorite meatless recipes?
Great infogram! You need a “pin it” button 🙂 I am a huge fan on plant-based diets. I hope to go entirely vegetarian one day but right now I am still eating chicken and fish
Thanks for the suggestion! That’s cool about wanting to go veg—just always make sure to check in with yourself now and then make sure your body is getting what it needs : )
