I am most naturally drawn to eating this way. Flexitarianism is healthy dieting that minimizes meat without excluding it altogether. Flexitarians weigh 15% less, have a lower rate of heart disease, diabetes and cancer, and live 3.6 years longer than their carnivorous counterparts. https://dawnjacksonblatner.com/books/the-flexitarian-diet/ The term flexitarian, defined as a person "whose normally meatless diet occasionally includes meat or fish," entered Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary in 2012http://greatist.com/eat/flexitarian-diet Let's share some Flexitarian meal examples and recipes!

I can hardly wait to try this! I love Avocado! Avocado w/ Black Pepper, Olive Oil, Soy Sauce, and Lemon Juice.......leave in the fridge over night, eat the next day
It's avovcado that is sliced and marinated in the fridge overnight in black pepper olive oil soy sauce and lemon juice.
Mmm i've never tried marinating avocado, i usually just mash it up with lime juice, salt and pepper. I'll have to try that. I'm a flexetarian, never realized there was a name for it. I usually eat meat maybe 3 times a week and do a lot of vegetarian meals in between. This isnt a meal but one of my favorite snacks is - cherry tomatoes, basil, a piece of mozzarella, and..oh wait haha, i just realized i usually use pepperoni. Well, depending on your mood, add a slice of pepperoni or not, isnt it great being a flexetarian? Put these ingredients on a tooth pick, sprinkle some salt and pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette and enjoy! These also make great finger foods for parties
