This is How I Train and Eat to Maintain My Dream Physique
I follow a Flexitarian type diet. I previously followed a vegetarian diet for the prior three years but added back in fish a few times a month to have a more versatile dinner palate to enjoy with my partner @Naonavarre and of late we have added meat back into our diets a couple times per month. This changes are examples of a flexitarian diet. In simple terms, it’s when you follow a primarily-plant based diet with meat & fish on occasion.
