What Does It Mean to Be a Flexitarian? 10 Reasons You Should Try the Diet

Vacations or social functions are a time when many diet plans go out the window. But being a flexitarian lets you maintain the momentum. Anne Hagerty (51) has been practicing the diet since 2009, when she began working with Blatner to lose weight. Hagerty told POPSUGAR it offers her a way to be satisfied during "weddings, work travel, a European cruise, sporting events, a client dinner, in-law's BBQ, you name it." The wiggle room in social settings undoubtedly helps make it a realistic diet for many. You get more vegetables and less guilt.
