Do you feel like you want to stay vegetarian but occasionally eat meat?
Then Flexitarian will be an appropriate term to define your urge.
Flexitarian is a semi-vegetarian diet that involves eating plant foods with the occasional inclusion of meat. In its simplest definition, the flexitarian diet is a combination of the words “flexible” and “vegetarian.” It’s a cross between full vegan and vegetarian with the ability to enjoy animal products every so often.
Flexitarian is a portmanteau of the words flexible and vegetarian.
"It is about adding new foods to your diet instead of excluding any, which can be extremely beneficial for health. These plant-based foods include lentils, beans, peas, nuts and seeds, all excellent protein sources."
The rise of the flexitarian diet results from people taking a more environmentally sustainable approach to what they eat by reducing their meat consumption in exchange for alternative protein sources.
In US's Best Diet Rankings report, Flexitarian came second.
