The Flexitarian Diet: The Mostly Vegetarian

"Flexitarianism" is the hot new term (one of the "trends for 2010" from Bon Apetit!)for a healthy way of eating and managing weight that minimizes meat without excluding it altogether. This diet, from a high-profile nutritionist, shows how to use FlexFoods to get the protein and nutrients you need with just a little meat for those who like it.

Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, LDN, is a national media spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, a flexitarian cooking instructor, and an internationally recognized speaker. She has a regular healthy eating television segment called "Take a Bite" on NBC Chicago, is the nutrition consultant to the Chicago Cubs, and writes a food and nutrition blog for USA Today. She lives in Chicago.
