Go vegetarian for ONE day!
Everyone can benefit from occasionally following a vegetarian diet, says Lalita Kaul, PhD, RN, LDN. Kaul notes that vegetarian diets are high in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals (things we all might need more of). Even if you eat veggies regularly, omitting meat from time to time means produce will be the main dish at mealtime, not just a side choice. To make the most of meat-free meals, strive for options low in starch. Look for dishes that have a balance of vegetables, legumes, fruits, and grains. Leafy greens are a good source of vitamin A, C, and K, and they contain calcium, folate, and fiber!
