Plant-heavy ‘flexitarian’ diets could help limit global heating, study finds - Lemmy.World

My partner and I are flexatarians, it’s lovely. The only downside is that it’s hard to not eat carb heavy, which is also an issue with vegetarianism and veganism. I feel like a spy among vegetarians.

I really don’t eat a lot of meat. When I do it’s usually chicken, sausage, or broth. The latter two are great for using bits of the animal that wouldn’t normally be consumed alone.

I eat pretty much the same, except almost zero carbs because of diabetes. But I’ve been eating like this for decades because my stomach just can’t handle most beef or pork at all (except the sausage) … it sits like a rock in my gut and takes almost a full day to start feeling normal again.

Ever since pandemic, meat has been doing the same to me. Muscle meat in particular, ground meats I’m more ok with.

How do you manage to avoid carbs? It seems like almost everything nonmeat is some form of carb, except for mushrooms, milk, and eggs

What about vegetables? If you are talking about plant proteins with not a lot of carbs go for TVP or vegan protein powders.
