Not just another fad, flexitarianism is here to stay, according to Registered Dietitian Sue Mah.

Flexitarianism describes a way of eating that allows you to be a flexible vegetarian.

A flexitarian is a person who eats mostly plant-based foods, but also eats meat every now and then.

There are different types of vegetarian eating styles:

• Vegan: only plant-based foods are eaten
• Lacto-vegetarian: dairy products are eaten along with plant-based foods
• Lacto-ovo vegetarian: eggs and dairy products are eaten along with plant-based foods
• Pesco-vegetarian: fish is eaten along with plant-based foods

Compared to non-vegetarians, vegetarians tend to have:

• Lower risk of dying from heart disease
• Lower rates of type 2 diabete and hypertension
• Lower LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels
• Lower blood pressure
• A healthy weight
• A diet with less saturated fat and cholesterol
• A diet with more fruits, vegetables, soy, whole grains and fibre

The principles of a flexitarian eating style echo the advice of Canada’s Food Guide to choose lower fat cheese, enjoy fish, and eat beans and tofu more often.

Flexitarian eating can benefit everyone – from children to even the most meat-loving members of your family!
