A diet that combines elements of both carnivore and vegetarian diets is often referred to as a flexitarian diet or a plant-forward diet. This approach emphasizes plant-based foods but allows for occasional inclusion of meat, poultry, or fish. It’s a more flexible way to eat, allowing for a mix of both animal and plant-based sources of nutrition.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

Flexitarian/Plant-forward:

This is the most common way to describe a diet that blends the two. It means prioritizing plant-based foods while still incorporating some animal products.

Pescatarian:

This diet includes fish and seafood but excludes other meat, making it a vegetarian diet with the addition of fish.

Carnivore Lite:

Some people who primarily follow the carnivore diet may incorporate small amounts of low-carb vegetables like leafy greens or sweet potatoes for added nutrients and fiber. This is not a true combination of both diets, but rather a modification of the carnivore diet.
