To eat less protein is the key to help the environment. Producing foods with higher amounts of protein such as pigs, cows or chickens require that land is plowed. It takes over 15 000 liters to produce one kilo of meat. The Baltic diet is good for the environment because it tells you to eat more vegetables and fish and less meat.

The Baltic Sea Diet highlights the local, nutritious and seasonal foods such as vegetables, berries, whole grains, oily fish
etc. from Finland, Denmark, Norway,
Iceland and Sweden.
When you first hear about the Baltic
diet you might imagine a diet that
tells you what you should eat
and when. The truth is that it
rather sets guidelines to eat
within. The guidelines tell
you to avoid fast food, foods
high in sugars and highly
processed foods. On the other
hand, they emphasize
consuming local products,
which is good for both your body and the environment.
