Plant based eating is so on trend right now that even the most carnivorous of us are switching to a more eco-friendly diet.<\/p>\n

\u2018Veggies with benefits\u2019 have been trending since the nineties but the last few years have seen stats almost double on those adopting a more herbivore lifestyle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\"Life<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The great thing about going flexi is even commitment phobes can have a bash at it (guilty as charged!). Now we\u2019re not talking about having cheesy chips for every meal (c\u2019mon we know that\u2019s what you were thinkin\u2019), but meat-free Mondays are a good place to start.<\/p>\n

Research shows cutting out meat a few days a week is best for the planet and best for you.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Life<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Health benefits include a decrease in BMI, lower blood pressure and can even increase your lifespan up to 13 more years!<\/p>\n

With courgetti, cauliflower cous-cous & broccolini stocked to the nines at our local supermarket and superfood salad bars competing with street food burger joints, going pro plant just got even easier!<\/p>\n

So step away from the bacon & eggs BAE and get your protein fix from food like quinoa and raw peanut butter.<\/p>\n

TIPS<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

*Combining vitamin C rich food\/drinks with plant based meals will help your body absorb the iron content in your veggies so there\u2019s no excuse to reach for a fillet au Poivre.<\/p>\n

*On those CBA meat treat days, be sure to opt for grass-fed, organic and antibiotic free varieties. Grass-fed beef is better quality than grain-fed as it\u2019s richer in anti-oxidants and good fats.<\/i><\/p>\n

\n
\"Life<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

*And remember that carbs aren\u2019t off the cards! Choose wholegrain and unprocessed varieties and you\u2019ll stay fuller for longer with a steady release of energy. We\u2019ve all experienced a Dominos carb crash food coma!<\/p>\n

\n
\"Life<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

*Take baby steps by cutting out meat 1 day a week and then 2 the next, before you know it you\u2019ll be Flexificient and fabulous!<\/p>\n
