Cut down your meat intake for weight loss

Over recent years, research has shown that apart from assisting in weight loss, plant based diets are also associated with a lower risk of cancer, diabetes, stroke, as well as heart disease.

Here are some ideas on how to reduce your intake of meat and opt for other satisfying protein foods.

1. Select a day/s of the week to go without meat. Enjoy the taste of vegetables, pulses and grains on this/these day/s.

2. Try out some vegetarian recipes. You may just be surprised at how much you might prefer a vegetarian dish over a meat dish. Have you tried quinoa before?

3. When you do consume meat, try lean and free-range products from your local butcher, as opposed to eating processed and fatty cuts of meat.

Chat to a dietician if you need more ideas on how to cut down on meat and include other protein sources into your diet.
