plant-based foods in your diet such as the health benefits its affordability and its potential environmental benefits stacked with diet includes many healthy foods and may offer some health benefits but it's highly restrictive and not based on science for these reasons it may be best to follow a less restrictive plant-based centric diet instead using meats to complement a meal almost like a garnish rather than making them the main event of every meal would possibly prevent the strict restriction mentality and risk of disordered eating a balanced vegetarian diet of nutritious foods like produce grains healthy fats and plant-based protein may offer several benefits but it may increase the risk of neutral deficiencies so it's important to plan well the bottom line is that it's
