Losing weight is usually on top of everyone\u2019s New Year\u2019s resolutions list. In fact, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nielsen.com\/us\/en\/insights\/news\/2015\/2015s-top-new-years-resolution-fitness.html\"><strong>survey done by Nielsen<\/strong><\/a> revealed that staying fit and losing weight is among the most common resolutions that people make for the New Year. Unfortunately, not many people end up successful on their quest to shed the excess pounds they gained during the holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>Experts agree that one of the keys to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/is-a-detox-diet-a-good-way-to-lose-weight-in-the-new-year\/\">losing weight<\/a><\/strong> is in following a diet that\u2019s suitable to your lifestyle. One of the diets that has recently gained popularity is the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2R4UkHO\">Flexitarian Diet<\/a>.\u00a0 Although you may have only recently heard the term Flexitarian it has been used since the nineties and it refers to people who were vegetarians but would occasionally eat meat. The term was basically derived from, \u201cflexible\u201d and \u201cvegetarian\u201d. But what is this diet all about and is it really effective for losing weight?<\/p><div id=\"thede-2187650228\" class=\"thede-content thede-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-2337972821559110\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2337972821559110\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5013879607\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What is a Flexitarian Diet?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The practice of following the Flexitarian lifestyle is sometimes known as the \u201ccasual vegetarianism\u201d. This plant-based diet aims to minimize your carbon footprint while improving your health at the same time. This is partly because the diet can help improve detoxification (more about this further on). It\u2019s basically increasing your intake of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/8-easy-plant-food-swaps-for-detoxing\/\">plant-based foods<\/a><\/strong> but without totally eliminating meat.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mana.md\/what-is-a-flexitarian-diet\/\"><strong>Medical Associates of Northwest Arkansas<\/strong><\/a> has this to say about the diet,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The idea behind flexitarianism or semi-vegetarianism is that there\u2019s a conscious effort to eat less meat, even though meat is still included in the diet. The diet is mostly plant-based, but does not completely exclude meat.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While some people would view flexitarianism as a form of cheating on a vegetarian diet, doctors are quick to point out that flexitarianism should not be viewed as something negative. Instead, it is a choice made by people who wanted to introduce more <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/how-a-high-fruit-vegetable-diet-can-detox-your-body\/\">fruits and vegetables<\/a><\/strong> to their diet but do not want to totally remove meat. It\u2019s definitely not a lazy way of going vegetarian, but a mere conscious effort of reducing the consumption of meat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The diet is based on the following principle:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eat <strong>more<\/strong> vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains.<\/li>\n<li>Flexibility in incorporating meat products from time to time.<\/li>\n<li>Proteins must be obtained <strong>mainly<\/strong> from plants and not animals.<\/li>\n<li>Eat<strong> more<\/strong> natural and organic foods and less processed foods.<\/li>\n<li>Sugar and sweets must be <strong>greatly minimized<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Related reading:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/sugar-detox-supercharge-your-health-in-5-simple-steps\/\">Sugar Detox \u2013 Supercharge Your Health In 5 Simple Steps<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Health Benefits Of The Flexitarian Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All the health benefits that you can get from going vegetarian can be carried over to the Flexitarian diet, which is why it\u2019s a great choice for those who want to go vegetarian but are not ready to give up their meat just yet. Here\u2019s a look at some of the benefits that one can possibly get by following the Flexitarian way of eating:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Helps with Weight Loss<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>When you focus on eating plant-based foods, you\u2019ll feel full easily even though you only ate only a few calories. Therefore, you\u2019re most likely to lose weight. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/kerigansnutrition.com\/\"><strong>Keri Gans<\/strong><\/a>, an author and nutritionist who wrote the book, <em>The Small Change Diet<\/em>,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cIf you emphasize the plant-based component of this diet by eating lots of fruits, veggies, and whole grains, you&#8217;ll likely feel full on fewer calories than you&#8217;re accustomed to, which makes shedding pounds almost inevitable.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Decreases Risk of Heart Diseases<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A study presented by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2015\/03\/150305110433.htm\"><strong>American Heart Association<\/strong><\/a> in 2015 has found that those who followed semi-vegetarianism have lowered their risk of developing heart diseases and stroke. The researchers concluded that by replacing some of the meat you eat with vegetables, you\u2019ll be able to easily lower your risk of suffering from heart-related diseases that could lead to death.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Minimizes Risk of Insulin Resistance and Diabetes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Landing in the third spot of the <a href=\"https:\/\/health.usnews.com\/best-diet\/best-diabetes-diets\"><strong>Best Diabetes Diets<\/strong><\/a> by the U.S. News and World Report, the Flexitarian Diet is, indeed, the best diet for people suffering from diabetes, which is considered one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/top-10-deadliest-diseases\"><strong>deadliest diseases in the world<\/strong><\/a>. The unique array of foods included in plant-based diets like the Flexitarian helps to promote metabolic improvement among people suffering from diabetes. In addition, diabetes and excess weight often go hand in hand. With the Flexitarian Diet\u2019s ability to help you lose weight, it\u2019s not surprising why this diet is effective in minimizing diabetes.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Contributes to Longer Life<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/dawnjacksonblatner.com\/books\/the-flexitarian-diet\/flexitarian-faq\/\"><strong>Dawn Jackson Blatner<\/strong><\/a>, the founder of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2R4UkHO\">Flexitarian Diet<\/a><\/strong> herself, flexitarians are more likely to live 3.6 years longer than meat eaters, which could be mainly due to its ability to reduce the risk of developing diabetes and heart diseases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Foods To Eat and Not To Eat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Flexitarian Diet has no concrete rules when it comes to the recommended amount of macro-nutrients and calories. Although the diet is mostly plant-based, it does not really require avoiding certain foods completely. Instead, it encourages limiting meat consumption. However,\u00a0 minimizing and preferably avoiding highly processed foods, refined grains and added sugar will bring about the best results. Here\u2019s what to eat and what to limit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What To Eat<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Beans<\/li>\n<li>Dairy<\/li>\n<li>Eggs<\/li>\n<li>Fruits<\/li>\n<li>Nuts and seeds<\/li>\n<li>Tofu<\/li>\n<li>Vegetables<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What To Limit<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Meat<\/li>\n<li>Alcohol<\/li>\n<li>Processed foods and refined grains<\/li>\n<li>Sugar and foods with added sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Sample Flexitarian Diet meal ideas\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s my suggestion that you avoid gluten on this diet although it&#8217;s not stipulated in <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2R4UkHO\">Blatner&#8217;s book<\/a>. In my experience everyone is better off without it. Even if you don&#8217;t think you are affected by it, wheat and other grains are usually sprayed before harvesting with Roundup (or some other equally toxic pesticide)\u00a0 which contains the toxic chemical glyphosate. Bread and other products made with wheat has been found to contain it so it&#8217;s best to avoid it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related reading:\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/should-you-detox-your-body-from-glyphosate-weedkiller\/\">Should You Detox Your Body From Glyphosate Weedkiller?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Breakfast:<\/strong><\/em> Oatmeal porridge with apples or pears, milled flaxseed or chia seeds and cinnamon.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Lunch:<\/strong><\/em> Salad with mixed green leaves, lentil sprouts, cucumber, tomato,\u00a0 celery, non GMO corn and avocado.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Dinner:<\/strong><\/em> Lentil and vegetable soup with Paleo bread and a side salad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Breakfast:<\/strong><\/em> Gluten free toast with avocado and poached eggs.<br \/>\n<em><strong>Lunch:<\/strong><\/em> Burrito bowl with brown rice, beans and vegetables.<br \/>\n<em><strong>Dinner:<\/strong><\/em> Zucchini noodles with red pesto sauce and navy (haricot) beans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Breakfast:<\/strong><\/em> Coconut yogurt with bananas and walnuts.<br \/>\n<em><strong>Lunch:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Gluten free wrap with hummus, vegetables and chickpeas.<br \/>\n<em><strong>Dinner:<\/strong><\/em> Grilled wild salmon, baked sweet potato, green beans and broccoli<\/p>\n<p><strong>How It Works For Weight Loss<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above, one of the biggest benefits of the Flexitarian Diet is its ability to help you lose weight. So if your New Year\u2019s Resolution is all about losing weight, then this lifestyle may be suitable for you.<\/p>\n<p>Flexitarian eating helps with weight loss partially because it limits your intake of high caloric foods, including processed foods and partly because it encourages the elimination of chemical toxins that interfere with the weight loss system.\u00a0 It encourages the consumption of plant-based foods that naturally have fewer calories. People who follow a plant-based diet generally lose more weight than those who don\u2019t. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/26138004\"><strong>In a study<\/strong><\/a> that includes more than 1,100 people, it was found that those who followed the vegetarian way of eating for 18 weeks were able to lose up to 4.5 pounds more than those who followed a different diet.<\/p>\n<h3>How It Works For Detox<\/h3>\n<p>Our liver and\u00a0 kidneys are our major detox organs assisted by our lymph system, intestines, skin and lungs. Let&#8217;s have a look at how a Flexitarian Diet can help support our major detox system so stored chemicals that contribute to weight gain can be eliminated.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Liver detox<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Plant foods contain many of the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that are needed by the liver detox system for optimal function. It&#8217;s a fallacy that our liver and kidneys do a great job without the help of a detox as some detox detractors like us to believe. The sort of detox I am talking about is not about a starvation diet but a diet that includes the foods that contains the nutrients needed by our detox system. You certainly don&#8217;t go hungry.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers have discovered that we all harbor numerous toxic chemicals in our bodies that have not been detoxified. It&#8217;s partly to do with the fact that our bodies are overwhelmed by the toxicity we are subjected to from food, water and air but also because the detox pathways are slow or inefficient due to lack of the right nutrients. Many people do not eat a diet that supplies their bodies with sufficient nutrients to enable their livers to detox optimally.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Fiber For Bowel Cleanse<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>A diet of fruit, vegetables and whole grains are full of fiber which is needed for good bowel function. This is of vital importance because once our liver processes the toxins they are incorporated into bile which is released from the gallbladder when stimulated to contract when you eat fats. The bile then travels through the digestive system and should be eliminated quickly from the body. If it is slow leaving the body certain bowel bacteria can release\u00a0toxins from the bile and they get absorbed back into the body. They are taken back to the liver and have to go through the whole process again. So do you see how important fiber is for detox?<\/p>\n<p>Many people on a low fat diet get sludge in their gall-bladders because they do not eat enough healthy fat to stimulate it to contract. Toxins then can&#8217;t be eliminated that route. This creates a situation where the liver is overloaded with a backlog of toxins and you get symptoms that may not be recognized as poor detoxification.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Kidney detox<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Some toxins that are processed by the liver are made water soluble and are then excreted from the body by our kidneys. They can only operate efficiently if the volume of water flowing through them is sufficient to carry away the wastes. For this reason, dehydration is the greatest most common source of stress on the kidneys and threat to purification of the blood.<\/p>\n<p>Excessive consumption of alcohol, caffeine, uncontrolled high blood sugar, and a high protein diet can also impair kidney detox. Our kidneys detox ammonia, a byproduct of protein digestion. Consuming large amounts of animal protein increases the workload on your kidneys so a Flexitarian diet takes a load off these organs.<\/p>\n<p>A plant diet is high in Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and folate which are needed for the health of our kidneys.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Withdrawal Symptoms And Detox Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you decide to to embark on a more plant-based diet you can initially go through a sort of detox period which is really due to withdrawal of foods and drinks you normally have a lot of. You can get symptoms such as\u00a0headaches, digestive issues, and even feelings of depression and sadness. The way to avoid this is not to go cold turkey but gradually transition to the diet.<\/p>\n<p>As you go on with the diet you then may get detox symptoms as your liver detox pathways start to function more efficiently.\u00a0 Your body may start to clean out\u00a0old stored chemical toxins, toxic metals, hormones, pesticides, and other harmful things.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not a sign that your body is not doing well on plant foods as many people tend to assume.\u00a0 The detox symptoms can last a few days, a week or a month. Some people get symptoms off and on for a couple of days a month as their bodies continue to detox.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related reading:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/detox\/how-liver-detox-diet-can-resore-your-health\/\">How A Liver Detox Diet Can Restore Your Health<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Flexitarian Diet is a good diet to follow if you want to lose weight and minimize your risk of developing diabetes and heart diseases.
