Make room for veggies in your life!

Dieticians do not recommend you pick up the “all or nothing” mindset when it comes to this and definitely do not suddenly change everything if you have had a history of eating meat a lot. The best way to make sure that you add more vegetables to your life is to take it slowly and introduce them one by one. Adopting a flexitarian diet (which means a vegetarian diet with the occasional addition of animal proteins) is known to be one of the best and healthiest diets to adopt.

You can make your favorite meals more veggie-forward by adding more vegetables or replacing the meat with tofu, a plant-based alternative, or mushrooms! You can also start slow by not eating meat two or three times a week, which in turn will make you research your meals and recipes, and that way you will be trying new things out and potentially finding new favorites.

Healthy eating habits are all about balance, and this also comes from our meal choices! Here is an amazing book that will help you find new veggie forwards recipes when you are in a pinch!
