Carnivore? Omnivore? Vegan? Who Needs a Label?!


Have you despaired of the January detox? Are you trying to lose weight, eliminate toxins and deprive yourself of all the things you love to eat?


And have you laughed at the vegan/plant-based diet knowing you can’t manage without cheese?


I recently watched a consultant gynaecologist being interviewed on Osteo-ChiroTV. This expert talked a lot about diet.


She advocates eating a plant-based diet, but her approach is logical and practical, so don’t stop reading if you’re a serious carnivore.


She says that a plant based diet will:

1. Make you feel more energetic

2. Help with many health problems

3. Help the environment.


But, she said you don’t have to suddenly become “vegetarian” or “vegan”. You are allowed to choose what you cut out. And how often you cut it out.


That might sound stupidly logical, but it’s easy to get cross with a vegetarian for eating a fish, criticise a vegan for having a piece of cheese, or challenge a drinking buddy who is trying to cut down on the booze.


So, if you tried a January detox and gave up, or if you’re trying to lose weight this month, don’t be put off by people ridiculing the effort you’re making.


If you want eat nothing but green veg and porridge what does it matter?! If you’re doing something to help your body feel better it can only be good. You don’t have to give it a name. You have permission to just call it food.


And if you’re increasing the number of plant-based or vegan meals you eat to see if it works, good for you.
