Tristan da Cunha, British Overseas Territory

The volcanic island of Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic boasts a population of 258 people with only nine different last names.

The locals speak English, but have also invented their own dialect with words derived from Scottish, English, St Helenian, South African, American, Dutch, Italian, and Irish, reflective of their various places of origin.

South Africa is the nearest country to this British Overseas Territory, which is said to be the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world.

To get there, you have to time your visit one of the three ships that make nine trips from Cape Town each year - a journey of 1,732 miles.

Cape York Peninsula, Australia

The northernmost point of Australia, Cape York is a peninsula that's swimming with crocodiles. However, it's a great place to go fishing for sport. The land is owned by five indigenous communities, who also manage its tourism industry.

Cape York is about a 28-hour drive from Cairns, and renting a four-wheel-drive vehicle is a must.

Oymyakon, Russia

This remote Russian town is known as the coldest inhabited place on Earth. Its 500 residents live in darkness for 21 hours a day with an average temperature of -58 degrees.

It's impossible to grow crops there, so people live on reindeer meat, frozen fish, and ice cubes of horse blood with macaroni, according to WIRED. Indoor plumbing is also tricky since the water freezes, so most use outhouses.

Getting there can take several days. From Moscow, a flight to either Yakutsk or to Magadan is the closest you can get, and both are over 560 miles away. The road from those cities that leads to Oymyakon is called "The Road of Bones." Don't drive it alone.

Easter Island, Chile

Easter Island's 900 iconic statues don't outnumber the island's 3,300 residents, but its economy runs mostly on tourism as people from around the world make the 2,300-mile journey from Chile to marvel at them.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the construction and purpose of the statues still remains a mystery.

LAN is the only airline with flights to Easter Island with prices starting at around $900 from the US.

Pitcairn Island, British Overseas Territory

Pitcairn Island is a British Overseas Territory situated 3,300 miles from New Zealand, which serves as the island's administrative headquarters. No plane or helicopter has ever landed there, so getting there requires a 32-hour yacht ride.

Not much is known about the island's first settlers, though European mutineers of a ship called "Bounty" discovered the remnants of a Polynesian civilization including stone gods, burial sites, and earth ovens when they arrived in 1790.

In 2004, six local men were convicted of committing sexual assault, which had devastating, widesweeping effects on the population of 50. Today, Pitcairn Island remains an idyllic island that attracts few new residents due to the lingering scandal.

Barrow, Alaska

There are no roads that lead to Barrow - the town is only accessible by plane, but the hour and a half flight from Anchorage is doable. Sitting at the very top of Alaska, their winter consists of 65 straight days of darkness.

Because of its remote location, the cost of living is high. A jar of peanut butter can cost $10. And, according to one resident, there are thousands more caribou than people.

Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland

Founded in 1925 by settlers from Tasiilaq and West Greenland, Ittoqqortoormiit is about as far away as you can get from any other inhabited area of Greenland. It's so remote that you need a helicopter ride from the airport to get to the town, itself.

Its 450 residents enjoy dog sledding and camping, while tourists visit to see the Northern Lights and other natural wonders. It's also a cruise destination despite sea ice that blocks any ships from docking for nine months out of the year.

Kerguelen Islands, French Southern and Antarctic Lands

The Kerguelen Islands in the Indian Ocean are of part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. They're 2,000 miles from the southernmost part of Africa, and are only accessible by ship four days a year.

Kerguelen Island itself is also known as "Desolation Island," and is surrounded by 300 other islets scattered over 2,400 square miles.

Coated by glaciers, the Kerguelen Islands receive rain, sleet, or snow 300 days a year. Most of the people who live there are French researchers.

Siwa Oasis, Egypt

Because Siwa Oasis is so isolated in the middle of Egypt's Western Desert, the inhabitants' Siwi language and Amazigh culture have been preserved.

It's not a common stop for tourists (it's a five-hour bus ride from Cairo), but those who brave the desert can enjoy locally-grown dates and olives, swim in Cleopatra's Bath mineral spring, and stay at the famous desert eco-lodge built out of mud and salt.

Changtang, Tibet

Known as " The Roof of the World," Changtang's altitudes range from 4,000 to 9,000 feet.

The 990-mile stretch of land across the Tibetan Plateau is home to a nomadic people called the Changpa. Wildlife like snow leopards and yaks thrive in its cold, arid climate.

You need a permit in order to enter, which can cost several thousand dollars, but it's accessible via the Leh Airport, Udhampur Railway Station, or driving from Manali or Srinagar.

Villa Las Estrellas, Antarctica

Villa Las Estrellas, Spanish for " Star Town," is a Chilean settlement in Antarctica that's just like any other small town, with a gym, church, public school, and souvenir shop. It's one of only two residential towns on the entire continent - the rest of the inhabited areas are research outposts populated by scientists.

Getting to Antarctica requires a two-day boat trip from Ushuaia, Argentina, to cross the Drake Passage into the Antarctic Circle.

Socotra Island, Yemen

Socotra Island is one of the most alien-looking place on Earth, thanks to its weird-looking Dragon's Blood Tree.

Located on Yemen's Gulf of Aden, Socotra Island contains over 800 rare species of plants, a third of which can't be found anywhere else in the world. Some of them do look a bit extraterrestrial, but their odd shapes reflect how they've adapted to the island's tropical desert climate.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Socotra Island has 40,000 inhabitants, but only built its first road in 2011.

Socotra Island is about 400 miles from Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, from which flights are available.

Supai, Arizona

In Supai, Arizona, the mail is delivered by mule. A remote village in the southwestern branch of the Grand Canyon, the village is only accessible by helicopter, horseback, or an eight-mile hike.

Supai is the tribal center of the Havasupai Tribe, which means "People of the Green Blue Waters," a reference to four waterfalls along Havasu Creek that are popular with tourists.

Coober Pedy, Australia

Coober Pedy is also known as the " opal capital of the world." Gem-quality opal was first discovered there in 1915, and the opal mining industry continues to sustain the small town of 3,500 people.

The city is a two-hour flight from Adelaide.

Longyearbyen, Norway

The northernmost town in the world, Longyearbyen, Norway, is so cold that it's illegal to be buried there, because bodies won't decompose in the frozen ground. Instead, bodies have to be flown to the mainland for burial. Houses also have to be built on stilts so that they don't slide away when the topsoil melts in the summer.

Norwegian Airlines offers three flights a week, and it's three hours from Oslo.

Palmerston, Cook Islands

All of the Palmerston islanders are descendants of one Englishman, William Marsters, who arrived there in 1863 and went on to have four wives and 17 children.

Supply ships visit the island only a few times a year, there are two telephones, and internet access is only available for four hours a day.

Palmerston is a two-day sailing voyage away from Rarotonga, the capital of the Cook Islands, and an eight-day trip from Tahiti.

La Rinconada, Peru

La Rinconada sits three miles in the air in Peru's mountainous Puno province, making it the highest city in the world.

The town has no running water or sewage system, and nearly 68% of the population lives below the poverty line, according to CNN.

Getting there isn't easy. La Rinconada is a six-hour ride from the nearest city on unpaved roads with no regular buses. Your best bet is to hitch a ride.

Bantam, Cocos (Keeling) Islands

With a population of about 600, the Cocos Islands are home to the Cocos Malay people whose isolation has helped keep their traditional oral language and religious practices alive.

In addition to getting acquainted with the local culture, visitors can go kitesurfing, snorkeling, surfing, and bird watching.

The Cocos Islands are about 1,700 miles from Perth, from which there are flights twice a week.

Tórshavn, Faroe Islands

Tórshavn is the smallest capital city in the world, but it packs a big punch - it's named after Thor, the god of thunder and lightning in Norse mythology. About halfway between Norway and Iceland, locals are proud of their small-town hospitality, saying on their official website that "This is the sort of place where people still have time for each other."

Atlantic Airways and Scandanavian Airlines offer direct flights from several popular destinations, including Denmark, Scotland, Iceland and Norway.

Selecting a cultural group: Cape York Peninsula

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Cape York Peninsula, an area of about 220,000 sq km, is the northern-most part of Queensland. For the purpose of this description it is taken to be the mainland north of a line between Normanton on the west and Innisfail on the east. Cape York is at the extreme northern tip of the peninsula, about 25 km from north to south, named in August 1770 by Lieutenant James Cook 'in honour of His Royal Highness, the Duke of York'.

The western side of the peninsula is mostly a vast plain crossed by rivers and channels that flow from the dividing range. It occupies nearly two-thirds of the peninsula. Some of the land is composed of laterite, mineralised soil of low fertility, typically overlain by hard ferrous deposits. Beneath them the pale coloured, soft material often contains bauxite. The dividing range is of sandstone in the north and around Laura, and of granite south of Coen. The range runs southwards within 50 km or less of the east coast until about Musgrave and then curves around the Laura Basin on Prince Charlotte Bay before trending toward the east coast which it touches north of Innisfail. It is here that the range reaches Queensland's second highest mountain, Bellenden Ker. This high altitude landform has a profound effect on rainfall. At Millaa Millaa, 40 km west of Innisfail, annual rainfall is 100 inches; 100 km further west at Mt Garnet it is 30 inches.

For the first 60 years of the nineteenth century Cape York Peninsula was a place of exploration. Flinders' maritime exploration of the west coast in 1802 noted the laterite deposits. Leichhardt (1844) crossed the Peninsula as far north as the Mitchell River. Kennedy (1848) made an epic, but fatal, journey from Cardwell to the north. In 1865 the Jardine brothers overlanded cattle to Cape York to supply a proposed coaling station for shipping. They settled on the tiny dot on the map shown as Somerset.

Somerset was described in the 1903 Australian handbook:

Ever since the Gympie gold field had saved the Queensland economy in the late 1860s the Government had been on the lookout for new finds. The Etheridge goldfield (1870) south-west of Innisfail answered the need, and two years later the Government encouraged exploration further north. William Hann found gold deposits on the Palmer River, south-west of Cooktown, and James Mulligan found gold on the Hodgkinson River, west of Cairns. Within months of the discoveries the Cooktown and Cairns settlements were founded for trans-shipping supplies to the mines and exporting the gold. Cairns was also the port for the Herberton tin mines (1875).

In the 1880s-90s inland railways were built. Cooktown to Laura was completed in 1888 and Cairns to Mareeba in 1893. On the other side of the peninsula a line was opened between Croydon and Normanton in 1891, again from a gold field to a port. In the new century railways were built for agricultural and timber-harvesting purposes, tapping the Atherton and Evelyn Tablelands; a line reached Yungaburra (1910) and Millaa Millaa (1921), and a branch arrived at Ravenshoe in 1916. There were also privately built lines to mining centres such as Mount Garnet and Mungara.

In addition to railways, the telegraph was hastening communication, a line from Cooktown to Palmerville having been constructed in 1876. In 1883 John Bradford, a posts and telegraphs inspector, surveyed a telegraph route from Cooktown via Coen to Cape York. The surveyed route approximates today's northern road route. The Government Geologist, Robert Logan Jack, also explored north Queensland in two expeditions in 1879-80 extending from Cooktown to the Archer River and to west of the Dividing Range. Bradford probably relied on a detailed route map drawn by Jack, although the map has been lost.

The high-rainfall coastal areas from Innisfail to Mossman became sugar-growing districts. Mulgrave and Hambledon (Cairns) started in 1882, two years after the Innisfail plantation. A government-assisted mill at Mossman started in 1897.

Inland from Cairns the Tablelands became dairying and vegetable-growing districts. In the 1940s they supplied thousands of American military personnel with fresh food. Further north, cattle became the mainstay of the pastoral industries. While the natural pasture could be deficient in nourishment, even during the wet season, food supplements improved their condition in readiness for marketing.

Until 1924, when the rail link from Brisbane to Cairns was completed, journeys north depended on coastal steamers. Tourism was mostly a localised activity, such as a rail journey to Kuranda on the Tableland, or a flat-bottomed boat to the reef. The through rail journey made Cairns more of a tourist destination. Postwar air services made for quicker access, and in the 1980s Port Douglas and Mission Beach joined the list of holiday destinations. Tourism also brought an increased awareness of inland destinations and the richness of Aboriginal cultural remains, such as Percy Trezise's Quinkan rock art discoveries near Laura. Four-wheel drive vehicles opened up access to Trezise's finds and to the beauty of inland rivers and landscapes.

The European community had been made acutely conscious of the Aboriginal population when miners were attacked on the way to the Palmer River goldfield. Disease and settler depradations took a heavy toll of the original inhabitants, and in the 1890s several church-based missions were established: Mapoon, Weipa and Aurukun (Presbyterian - 1891, 1898 and 1904); Yarrabah (Anglican - 1892); Hope Vale (Lutheran - 1896, 1949). Each later became the basis of self-governing Aboriginal Councils.

Local government in Cape York Peninsula began with Cooktown (1876) and four rural divisions, Cairns, Daintree, Hann and Woothakata (1879). In 1881 Johnstone and Tinaroo divisions were created, in the sugar and minerals areas adjoining Cairns. In the west, Carpentaria division was created in 1883. Hann and Daintree divisions were the forerunners of Cook Shire; Woothakata division was the forerunner of Mareeba shire; and Tinaroo division became Atherton, Eacham and Herberton Shires.

The 2008 amalgamations introduced the following changes:

¹ About half of the Carpentaria Shire's area of 64,381 sq km is in Cape York Peninsula.
² Cassowary Coast Regional Council also absorbed Cardwell Shire.
³ The southern half of Herberton Shire was not in Cape York Peninsula as defined here.

Cook Shire occupies about half of the Peninsula.

A permit system restricting the traditional hunting of turtles and dugongs was trialled in four Cape York Aboriginal communities in 2015, including the community of Mapoon, a clan estate of the Gugu Yimithirr people called Juunjuwarra, Jajikal in Wujal and Lockhart River.

What is a Vegan Diet?

A vegan diet is a plant-based lifestyle that prohibits the consumption of all animal products, with many people adopting a vegan diet for health, environmental and strong ethical beliefs concerning animal welfare.

Strict vegans will also avoid using any products that have been tested on animals or wear leather or wool. So is a vegan diet healthy? What are the vegan diet pros and cons? Let's find out in this comprehensive guide!

Also read: What is the best diet for good health?

Vegetarianism/ Veganism Pros and Cons

Vegetarian & vegan diets are more popular than ever, particularly for athletes in an attempt to maximize performance.

There are many benefits of a plant-based diet, and they are claimed to be the healthiest diet to follow because they prioritise naturally sourced plant-based foods (fruits and vegetables, legumes, and whole grains).

This is great and exactly how all diets should be but are there any downsides to a plant-based diet? Just to be clear, I am in no way against a vegan diet plan. I just want to outline any potential risks and help all athletes who choose to adopt a plant-based diet to get the best results.

Pros and Cons of Vegetarianism

Useful diet for weight loss

Being a vegetarian can have common nutrient deficiencies

Increased feelings of satiety (high food volume, low energy intake)

Vegans have more trouble achieving protein needs without using protein supplements

High intake of fibre

When dieting, especially in athletes, higher protein intakes are advised to promote muscle retention & recovery, combat hunger, and enhance mood

Non-vegans will have no issues meeting daily protein requirements

Vegans, therefore, need more protein as the protein quality of diet is lower compared to vegetarian & meat-eaters

Naturally high carbohydrate diets to support endurance training

Other Pros and Cons of Veganism

Apart from the above-discussed pros and cons of veganism, there are some other significant benefits and drawbacks of being vegan. Let's find them out:

Pros Of Being Vegan

Helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and heart disease: One of the significant contributing elements to heart disease is your diet. The vegan diet prioritises a wealth of natural, nutrient-dense plant-based foods that promote heart health. Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, etc., all have excellent health properties.

The research of 126 omnivorous men and 170 vegetarians showed that those who adopted a vegetarian diet had lower blood pressure and a lower probability of coronary heart disease.

Helps to improve blood sugar levels: Type 2 diabetes is a global health issue. However, some studies show that a vegan diet plays a specific role in improving blood sugar levels. It typically reduces the intake of poor-quality processed foods overconsumed in typical Western diets and contributes to type 2 diabetes.

Reference: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/6/11/4822/htm

Other Disadvantages Of Vegan Diet

Potential Nutritional Deficiency: A vegan diet may lack some of the critical nutrients required for the body, such as protein, vitamin B-12, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and Iron.

Following a vegan diet requires knowing about the key foods that should be combined together and prioritised to sufficiently meet these nutrient intakes, and analysing your diet (with the help of a registered dietitian/nutritionist), to see if you require any additional supplements to prevent any nutrient deficiencies if you struggle to obtain these nutrients through food alone.

Reference: https://sciendo.com/pdf/10.2478/arls-2019-0010

On the Fence: Neither Pros or Cons of Vegetarianism:

This means that the vegan diet pros and cons balance each other out. Well-designed vegetarian and vegan diet recipes neither hinder nor aid performance compared to an already well-structured diet that includes animal products.

Common Nutrient Deficiencies on a Vegan Diet/Vegetarian Diet

Vegetarian and Vegan diets are undoubtedly beneficial for your health, but completely cutting off animal products from your diet might result in some common nutritional deficiencies.
The most common nutritional deficiencies in vegan and vegetarian diets include:

Vit B12 (both should supplement)

Vit D3 (EVERYONE should supplement)

Calcium (plant sources may limit absorption, the only issue for non-dairy consumers)

Iron (High in Iron, but absorption may be the issue, include Vitamin C foods with meals and/or supplements (all non-red meat eaters; female vegan endurance athletes at high risk of anemia)

Zinc (a potential problem for vegans)

Iodine (potential issue for non-seafood/dairy/egg eaters)

Omega-3 (non-fish eaters will need to supplement - algae-based EPA/DHA)

Let us now find out vegan sources for the above-mentioned deficiencies:

Vegan sources of Calcium

Dark leafy green vegetables, e.g. broccoli, kale, and cabbage.

Tofu.

Calcium-fortified cereals, milk, and bread.

Dried fruits.

Sesame seeds/hummus.

Vegan sources of Vitamin D

Direct sunlight to skin.

Fortified fat spreads, breakfast cereals, and unsweetened soya drinks.

Vitamin D3 supplements.

Vegan sources of Iron

Pulses.

Wholemeal bread and flour.

Breakfast cereals are fortified with Iron. Dark green, leafy vegetables, such as watercress, broccoli, and spring

greens.

Nuts.

Dried fruits, such as apricots, prunes, and figs.

Vegan sources of Vitamin B12

Breakfast cereals fortified with B12.

Unsweetened soy drinks fortified with vitamin B12.

Yeast extract, such as Marmite, is fortified with vitamin B12.

Vegan sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Walnuts & flaxseeds.

Tofu.

Vegan Omega 3 supplement.

What Are the Different Types of Vegetarian Diets?

The main types of plant-based diets are:

Vegan - no animal products

Vegetarian/Lacto-Ovo vegetarian - includes dairy and eggs

Pescatarian - includes fish, dairy and eggs

Flexitarian - includes small amounts of all animal products.

What's the difference between a vegan diet and a plant-based diet?

Vegan diets will eliminate all animal products and by-products, whereas plant-based or vegetarian diets may often include dairy sources, eggs, and small portions of white meat and fish.

Is veganism right for me?

Veganism is only right for you if you adopt it for the right reasons to support environmental and ethical beliefs and find it sustainable as part of your lifestyle and food preferences.

Take-home messages:

1. Protein intake considerations - combine different plant-based protein foods to complement their amino acid profiles for more complete proteins.2. May limit food options on social occasions.

3. Vegan/plant-based diets can significantly increase the nutritional quality of a person's diet, mainly those who have swapped from a highly processed, westernised diet with little amounts of fruit and veg.
4. Many health benefits to a plant-based diet for weight loss, health and athletic performance and recovery.
5. Be wary of nutrient deficiencies & supplements where needed.
6. Female athletes (esp vegans) should be checked for Iron-deficiency anemia.

Dig into the hottest all-meat diet known to man.

The so-called "carnivore diet" exploded in popularity after Canadian professor Jordan Peterson raved about it on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast last year, claiming it helped him lose 50 pounds, stop snoring, cured his autoimmune diseases and gingivitis, and helped him overcome depression.

But just what is the carnivore diet? In short, it's a close relative to the ever-popular keto diet but instead of being very low carb, it's zero carb and consists of only meat and high-fat animal products - meaning no vegetables, bread, or anything else.

This means you're only eating fatty meats, cheese, butter, and drinking water, milk, coffee or tea, and if you're so inclined, heavy cream. Though some people even take it a step further and cut out dairy products too, since dairy is metabolized as sugar.

The diet anecdotally claims to encourage fast weight loss, improve mental clarity, promote easier digestion, improve athletic performance, and alleviate certain health problems, but there hasn't been scientific research on the diet so there's not much to back up these claims except word-of-mouth from people who've seen these results.

Regardless, there is previous research that might justify these claims. According to a 2013 study published the journal Metabolism, those who ate high-fat and low-carb diets had lower markers of systemic inflammation than those who eat high-carb and low-fat diets.

One of the main reasons why eating only animal products could potentially lead to specific health benefits is due to eliminating ailment-causing foods, because almost everyone has an intolerance to something. Not eating a specific food that might be causing low-grade but constant inflammation in your body is obviously going to have fantastic benefits.

Another plus is that it may increase your levels of testosterone. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that men who followed a high-fat, low-fiber diet for 10 weeks had 13 percent higher testosterone levels than men who ate low-fat, high-fiber diets, suggesting that the large amounts of fat you'd eat in the carnivore diet might have some manlier benefits than you'd expect.

However, some (or many) may argue that the carnivore diet is completely insane and if humans were meant to only eat meat, we'd be born with a full mouth of only canine teeth to rip apart said meat. But we have grinding molars for a reason: Humans should be eating foods other than animal products.

While our bodies can survive on different diets, it doesn't necessarily mean we can thrive on just one food source - at least in the long term.

University of Chicago's Microbiome Center faculty director Jack Gilbert told Big Think:

Your body would start to have severe dysregulation, within six months, of the majority of the processes that deal with metabolism; you would have no short-chain fatty acids in your cells; most of the by-products of gastrointestinal polysaccharide fermentation would shut down, so you wouldn't be able to regulate your hormone levels; you'd enter into cardiac issues due to alterations in cell receptors; your microbiota would just be devastated.

In other words, the carnivore diet is not healthy for long-term dieting. When you think about it, it's actually a no-brainer. The human body requires a very wide range of vitamins, minerals, and trace nutrients for cells and tissues to work properly, and only some of those are found in animal products. You can't get the nutrients found in dark leafy greens from a steak.

"There's so much evidence on phytonutrients from plant foods and how they help with DNA protection," Brian St. Pierre, R.D., Director of Performance Nutrition at Precision Nutrition explains to Onnit. "If you're not consuming those things, your guess is as good as mine as to how that's going to impact you long-term."

Furthermore, there's likely an increased risk of developing colon caner with the carnivore diet. "I would highly suspect that an all-animal diet would increase your risk of colon cancer," he adds.

"You wouldn't be consuming things that help to inhibit colon cancer. So the dose makes the poison. Having a few servings of red meat each week is no big deal, but when you're eating three steaks a day with nothing else, that's a different story. You're changing the equation substantially."

But again, as a short-term diet plan, it seems to be promising so if you're considering going on the carnivore diet, here's a carnivore diet-friendly food list as put together by Chomped:

Meat: Your main calorie source should come from fatty cuts of grass-fed meat like NY strip steak, porterhouse, ribeye, 80/20 ground beef, t-bone, bacon, pork chops and flank steak. Since you're restricting carbohydrates, meats with more fat content are preferred so your body can use those fats as a source of energy.

Fish: Salmon, sardines, trout, mackerel, and catfish are allowed. Just like meat, aim for the fattiest fish you can purchase.
Eggs. Also known as nature's multivitamin, eggs are the perfect ratio of protein, fats, and essential nutrients to keep your body performing at its best on the carnivore diet.

Bone Marrow: Bone broth is carnivore-approved and it's a great protein source that also helps with gut, skin, and joint health.

Dairy: Milk, grass-fed butter, and cheese are technically allowed since they come from an animal but many carnivore dieters try to keep dairy intake at a minimum since a large percentage of the population eventually develops an intolerance.

Fatty meat food products: Use lard, tallow, and other animal-based fats to cook your food instead of vegetable oil.

Condiments: Salt, pepper, herbs, and spices are allowed on the carnivore diet. Stick to simple ingredients that don't contain any sugar or carbohydrates. If you want some flavor with your meat, consider adding some zero-calorie hot sauce like Frank's Red Hot.

Many people follow a vegetarian diet in an effort to improve their health. The health-related benefits of vegetarian diets are well-documented. But there are downsides to this type of eating style, too. If you are thinking about following some type of vegetarian diet, consider these pros and cons to make sure it's the right fit for you.

Pro: Vegetarian diets may lower your risk for disease.

Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds are the core of a healthy, well-balanced vegetarian diet. These foods provide an abundance of health-protective vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber that may lower the risk for common chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, some cancers and obesity.

Cons: Just because it's vegetarian doesn't mean it's healthy.

On the flip side, if your vegetarian diet includes a lot of highly processed foods instead of whole plant-based foods, the risk for some chronic diseases may actually increase. There are many junk foods that fit into a vegetarian diet but are not good for you-think soda, chips and cookies, among others. Packaged vegetarian meals and snacks may contain high amounts of added sugar, sodium and fat and offer little to no nutritional value. Keep in mind that just as with any diet, there are ways to make a vegetarian diet healthy and ways to turn it into a diet disaster.

Pro: You have options when it comes to going vegetarian.

You can determine the type of vegetarian eating plan that's right for you. Some people eliminate meat, fish, and poultry from their diets but eat eggs and dairy. Others allow only eggs or only dairy. Some include seafood on occasion. A vegan diet eliminates all foods derived from animals, even things like honey.

Con: You may have possible nutrient deficiencies.

Some essential nutrients, such as vitamins B12 and D, calcium and iron, aren't available in many plant-based foods. Vegetarian diets may provide these nutrients as long as food intake is planned properly, but supplementation is sometimes necessary. Top sources of these nutrients for vegetarians include:

Vitamin B12: Found in animal products like eggs and milk (as well as meat, fish and poultry). Also found in some fortified cereals, nutritional yeast, meat substitutes and soymilk.

Vitamin D: In addition to eggs and fish, also found in fortified plant milks and mushrooms. Vitamin D is also gained through sun exposure.

Calcium: Aside from dairy products, calcium can be found in fortified plant-based milks, cereal, juice, tofu, collard greens, kale, broccoli, beans and almonds.

Iron: You can get iron from eggs and also fortified cereal, soy, spinach, chard and beans. Pair iron-rich foods with vitamin C-rich foods like citrus, peppers or tomatoes to increase absorption.

Starting a vegetarian diet can be tricky when grocery shopping, dining out and eating in social settings. Over time this becomes easier, but it does require some work. Read labels on products and become familiar with common ingredients derived from animals, such as casein, whey and gelatin. At restaurants, keep in mind that meatless meals may be prepared with dairy or other animal products, like beef or chicken broth, so ask questions to make a selection that's right for you. When dining at someone's home, the best thing to do is to bring along a vegetarian dish that everyone can enjoy.

If you are committed to starting a vegetarian lifestyle, a registered dietitian can give you helpful tips that better ensure that your nutrition needs are being met.
