How to Eat Less Meat in 4 Easy Steps

Research has shown that eating less meat is good for your health — but it's also great for the environment.
But if you're a big fan of meat, reducing the amount you eat may not sound very exciting. And where do
you start?

Here's a beginner's guide:

1. Commit and start small

The first step to success is to commit to eating less meat. Tell your friends and family what you plan to do,
as this will help you stick to your goal. Then start small. Try not eating meat on Mondays or on weekends,
for example. Or stop eating beef and pork but continue eating chicken and fish.

2. Have more than one reason for eating less meat

Find other good reasons for eating less meat that you can use as motivation. For example, maybe you
want to lose weight, help the environment or save money. Having more than one goal in mind will help
you stick to your decision to eat less meat.
3. Plan your meals
It can be hard to know what to cook when you start eating less meat, since you might not be able to make
your old favorites. This is why it's a good idea to plan your meals each week.

Planning will also help you avoid eating the same meals over and over again, which will get boring and
make it very hard to stick to your goals.

4. Keep track of your progress

Don't forget to keep track of how well you're doing and reward yourself for your progress. If you've
completed four Mondays without any meat, celebrate. No beef for a month? Celebrate. No meat at all for
six months? Celebrate!
