    FAQs

    What is a no meat no dairy diet? ›

    The health factor

    What does eating no meat do to the body? ›

    Diets that limit or exclude meat have been linked to weight loss and a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Yet, this risk reduction depends on overall diet quality. Also, plant-based diets can lack important nutrients if you don't plan them well.

    Can we really live without meat? ›

    Healthy adults are fully capable of eating and digesting meat. Still, nutritionally and biologically, you can live without it. That said, humans are social animals whose beliefs about eating meat also depend on their cultural and religious norms.

    What does a no dairy diet look like? ›
