How to make popular diets more convenient

Nutrition

A recent study found more than half of people follow a specialty diet or eating pattern. Sometimes, these specialty diets can come with a higher price tag or be less convenient to prepare, but they don’t have to be. Here we share tips to make three trending diets, low FODMAP, vegetarian, and flexitarian, more affordable and convenient.

Vegetarian

The lacto-ovo vegetarian diet omits meat, poultry, and fish and includes dairy, eggs, and plant-based foods. This eating pattern can be expensive if it includes many pricey meat alternatives aiming to mimic meat. Instead, focus on including budget-friendly protein options that fit into this diet.
