I love trying new foods and seeing what\u2019s popular.\u00a0 I turned to Google and started reading through lists from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/food\/healthy\/7-healthy-food-trends-ll-see-2022-rcna7054\">The Today Show<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/know-your-value\/these-will-be-biggest-healthy-food-trends-2022-n1286810\">MSNBC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wholefoodsmarket.com\/trends\">Whole Foods Market Trends<\/a> to name a few.\u00a0 All the lists I read talked about plants: plant based, plant focused eating, etc.\u00a0 However, many lists were naming a very specific plant trend: Reducetarianism.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reducetarianism (<em>say that 3 times fast, or just try typing it\u2026<\/em>).\u00a0 My first thought was reducing food waste, but I was wrong. Maybe reducing overall food intake?\u00a0 Nope.\u00a0 According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reducetarian.org\/\">The Reducetarian Foundation<\/a>, \u201c\u2018Reducetarians\u2019 are committed to eating less meat and dairy, and fewer eggs &#8211; following their own hearts and individual motivations.\u201d\u00a0 This trend is for people wanting to start cutting out <em>some<\/em> animal products.\u00a0 It\u2019s a gradual reduction in meat (red meat, seafood, poultry), dairy, and eggs.\u00a0 The end goal is up to the individual. This group includes vegetarians and vegans, but also people who still eat animal protein; this trend is not all or nothing, which is appealing to some people who aren\u2019t ready to commit to a vegetarian lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why jump on the reducetarianism bandwagon?\u00a0 Research has shown again and again that plants are great for your overall health with benefits including, but not limited to, better blood sugar control, reduced cancer risk, reduced risk of heart disease, improvement in blood pressure, weight management, not to mention a happy gut.\u00a0 Not only does eating more plants help your body, but it helps the environment and reduces your carbon footprint.\u00a0 Plus, the animals might thank you.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any downsides?\u00a0 There can be.\u00a0 Making these changes gradually can help you avoid some of the concerns with going more plant based.\u00a0 Here are some common issues:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Some manufactured plant based foods come with a long list of ingredients and a high salt content or other ingredients you might not want.\u00a0 Check the label before putting it in your shopping cart.<\/li>\n<li>Just because it\u2019s plant based, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s the healthiest option &#8211; think french fries.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t just \u201cskip\u201d the meat\/dairy\/eggs; you need to replace them with another protein source (beans, nuts, tofu, soymilk, etc).\u00a0 Without replacing the item, your diet could be too low in protein.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ready to give it a go?\u00a0 Given all the new plant based foods out there, it might be easier than ever to cut out animal products.\u00a0 There are meatless burgers, bacon, fishsticks, jerky, deli \u201cmeat\u201d, hot dogs, and \u201cmeat\u201dballs, to name a few.\u00a0 Or, you could try some easy at home swaps to get started.\u00a0 Some options include:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Substituting oat milk for dairy milk in your morning coffee or cereal<\/li>\n<li>Experiment with a black bean burger or grilled portobello mushroom in place of a beef burger<\/li>\n<li>Try a meatless chili &#8211; focus on beans for protein with lots of peppers and potatoes<\/li>\n<li>Tofu can be scrambled in place of your morning eggs<\/li>\n<li>Replace that mayo on your sandwich with heart healthy avocado<\/li>\n<li>Dip those veggies in hummus instead of a sour cream based dip<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if you want to be a trailblazer, or just want to cut back on animal based proteins, this might be the option for you!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay Happy, Stay Healthy<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/Bzcf0oDF1E7A3d2VVetzx0rYH4nziuTwJlNwkGmZ5geBR2fhu83FqhH2MBGwY9p5VTPr89OJg5KYlT-MmHNtVN0cg1bmMLnHmYykHGcySlKkyaKgulj77xbOyh3rlpLCa7yehl0\" width=\"137\" height=\"105\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This blog was written by Chris Henigan MS, RD, LDN, co-founder of Simple Start Nutrition.\u00a0 For more blog posts and nutrition information follow @simplestartnutrition on Instagram and Facebook.\u00a0 Also feel free to contact us, by visiting our website (<a href=\"http:\/\/simplestartnutrition.com\/\">simplestartnutrition.com<\/a>) to schedule an appointment to discuss your nutrition related needs.\u00a0 We\u2019re here to help.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae21f0e elementor-post-navigation-borders-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-navigation\" data-id=\"ae21f0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-navigation.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__prev elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/simplestartnutrition.com\/?p=776\" rel=\"prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-prev\"><i class=\"fa fa-angle-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Prev<\/span><\/span><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--label\">Previous<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--title\">Is there such a thing as too much Coffee?<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__next elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/simplestartnutrition.com\/?p=800\" rel=\"next\"><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__next\"><span class=\"post-navigation__next--label\">Next<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__next--title\">A Registered Dietitian\u2019s Thoughts on Tom Brady\u2019s diet &#8211;
