Our vegetarian diet plan isn’t about giving up your favourite foods or feeling deprived, it's all about starting something new and having a fresh take on feelgood food.
Rather than an impossible-to-follow diet, now is the time to expand your culinary horizons and start enjoying exciting new foods and recipes that are colourful, nourishing and packed with vibrant flavours. Devised by Waitrose nutritionists, our diet plan can help you lose weight the healthy way.
