A recent study found that 84% of vegetarians and vegans have
found their way back to eating meat again. Dietitian, Lisa Young, suggests that
the reason this is happening so frequently is because these individuals may
have gone cold turkey too dramatically. Starting to slowly remove these certain
food groups can give the individual a better perspective on how life would be
without these food groups. The cravings of meat are typically the reason why
they abandon these diets that are actually short lived of about 2 years. On the
other hand, this research also found that 37% of these prior vegetarians and
vegans said they would be interested in returning back to this diet in the
future.
So, if you are considering implementing a plant based diet,
such as veganism or vegetarianism into your New Year’s Resolution, be sure to
take smart steps to adapting this diet. Also, refer to a Registered Dietitian,
Physician and health care professional about diet adequacy before starting.
