Going meatless means you will have a chance to get creative with ways to supplement your diet with more healthy foods. Without meat you'll be putting beans, peas, and tons of greens into

your body to take the place of that portion. To make sure you are getting the most out of your meatless diet, focus on real and raw foods instead of processed

and unhealthy ones. Even a salad can be bad for you if it isn't full of good greens and healthy toppings. When you go meatless you'll have a chance to feel healthier,

eat healthier, and be healthier. 

Studies show that those who have a more plant based diet show more weight loss than those who eat meat. Plant based diets often times have less calories than

meat filled diets, and are more healthy for you! Plant based diets are often less fat filled as well. If you want to start getting in shape or keep staying healthy,

adopting Meatless Monday may be one way to start.

Who says salads are boring? Maybe people who never had exciting and fulfilling salads. Participating in Meatless Monday will give you a chance to try new salads and find new

ways to be healthy without meat. Focus on making sure your Meatless Mondays are full of healthy and real foods instead of process foods. Your eyes will be open to a

whole meatless world, and your body will thank you.

Eating a meatless diet at least one day a week is going to help lower your risk for many different health conditions including diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Studies show

that diets that are rich in fruits and vegetables have a higher chance of keeping us healthy in the long run. It's important to give our bodies a break from meat

and when we do eat meat, we should eat it in moderation.

It's true that adding a meatless day into your diet is going to help you spend less money at the grocery store. Quality meat can be more expensive because of the transportation

and farming costs. Cutting meat out of your diet more than often can save you money on your meals, as vegetables, greens, and fruits are less expensive than meat for a

meal.

Many people have stopped eating meat because the complexity of getting fair-raised and environmentally friendly meat is too high. Livestock uses more water, creates more greenhouse gases, and creates a

higher fuel dependence. Eating meat-free one day each week can not only be good for your body, but it can also be good for the world you live in when you start buying local! While going

meatless, focus on buying local for all your fruits and veggie needs. Find a local farmer's market in your town and get the freshest produce for your kitchen! 

Once you start going meatless, even just one day a week, your body will be asking for more healthy foods in your diet! You may start making it a habit to eat

at least one meatless meal a day, and when you do have meat with your meals you'll start to realize that the sides of vegetables are just as important as the

main dish. Developing good habits starts with making one decision: to go meatless on Mondays.

While tomorrow isn't always certain, research does show that people who eat less meat and more greens, fruits, and beans in their diets live longer! This is because their chance of

disease is lowered, and their bodies are being packed full of good nutrients to help fight any sickness coming their way. Having a Meatless Monday may be your ticket to

a longer more healthy life.
