Vegetarians enjoy a diet of grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruit with some also choosing to include dairy products and eggs. Studies suggest that a plant-based diet like this can be a healthier way to eat with fewer reportted cases of obesity, heart disease and type II diabetes. Typically, a varied vegetarian diet contains less saturated fat and more folate, fibre and antioxidants, plus as a vegetarian you're more likely to exceed the recommended daily intake of fruit and vegetables.
This One-Week eating plan will help recalibrate your sense of healthful portion sizes using some recipes.
