Weekday Vegetarian 

An approach to adopting a more plant-based (flexitarian, semitarian, demitarian, reducetarian) diet. Involves restriction of meat/seafood consumption to the weekends and only eating vegetarian-permissible foods the 5 weekdays of every week. Additionally, weekday vegetarians sometimes endorse/promote using seafood consumption to cut down meat-consumption (especially red meat consumption) on the days meat is eaten.

Is often (but not always) used as a tool to slowly transition to a fully vegan, vegetarian or pescetarian diet pattern.

“My son kept failing or quitting the vegetarian diet because he felt too restricted and overwhelmed. He now does the Weekday Vegetarian diet to limit his intake of animal products and is maintaining it a lot more easily.
