Advisory

Hello,

I have been following a vegetarian diet for a year, and in exceptional cases, I eat meat about six times a year. I perceived this approach of lacto-ovo vegetarianism as a healthier way of eating. Thanks to you, I now have different perspectives on this approach, and I am interested to know what the composition of my diet should be if I were to reintroduce meat into my menu twice a week. Alternatively, is this sufficient, or would you recommend every other day? Is it still important to supplement with B12 and Omega? I would like to limit meat, both for ethical reasons and with regard to our planet, and because I enjoy plant-based food more. However, the priority is a diet that will benefit my health. What would the nutritional pyramid look like?

Thank you very much for your response.

If you are only concerned about B12 and O3, you can easily supplement them without necessarily having to consume something that goes against your beliefs. Additionally, eggs and dairy products will provide a certain amount of these nutrients, so theoretically, you should not be lacking. The situation is different with veganism, where excluding animal products leads to the absence of a range of nutrients.

Regarding meat consumption, today's expert views agree that the average individual should not suffer nutritionally if they have meat on their plate 1-2 times a week.
