This year, my focus is on health for both myself and my family, and I invite you to join us on this journey. As you know, I love cooking, but I'm adopting a new perspective. I'm beginning a Flexitarian lifestyle, which involves primarily eating a plant-based diet with occasional lean meats and fish.
How will it function? Every week, I will provide 5 unique lunches and 5 unique dinners for you to collect on Monday at 104 Wolfe St. As sudden changes in eating habits are neither healthy nor sustainable, the meals will gradually transition through these three phases:
Beginner flexitarian: If you’re just starting out on this diet plan, the aim is to give up meat two days per week. Then, limit overall meat consumption the other 5 days to 26 ounces total.
Advanced flexitarian: You’re totally a meatless vegetarian 3-4 days of the week. The rest of the week, you’re having a max of 18 ounces of meat overall.
Expert flexitarian: Meat-free is the way to be for 5 days of the week, but the other 2 days, you can consume up to 9 ounces of meat.
As we will solely supply meals for weekdays, you should adhere to the protocol of incorporating more plant-based proteins and reducing manufactured and packaged foods. Focus on eating fresh, staying active, and being mindful. These will be my priorities for the year. If you're interested in joining, I'm organizing this event to gauge interest and start on 3 February for our first week.
I look forward to working together on physical and mental health. If you are interested, please send me a direct email at hudamaltbie@gmail.com and I will send you more information.
