Though lean meat and animal products can be part of a healthy and balanced diet, limiting your consumption of it—and upping your intake of other protein sources, like quinoa, nuts and beans as well as fresh fruits and veggies—can give your health and the environment a big-time boost.
How? Well, eating red meat can raise your cholesterol, increasing your eventual risk for certain diseases affecting your heart and other important organs. Eating lots of red meat is also linked to weight gain. Environmentally speaking, raising livestock takes up far more resources than growing plants that can provide similar nutrients. And while meat does supply you with tons of protein and minerals like iron, exploring other food groups will help diversify your palate—and that’s always a good thing.
So what do you think? Will you try the meatless Monday challenge?

My family eats meat everyday! I think that I can talk to them about starting to do this. Also, I have been working out and eating healthy, but it is the same stuff over and over. I want to mix it up some. I love trying new things, but it is hard to find new stuff that is healthy.

I'm vegetarian and people always give me wierd looks when they find out.... It gets really annoying so I think it's great that people are doing this!

I eat protein all day! Meat and beans is always on my dinner plate somewhere 5/7 days. I am mexican. Not that that is all we eat mind you. I cannot see me as a vegetarian.

Actually Soccerholic, it's not in our blood to eat meat. Our bodies were not made to process animal fats. I'm a vegan, and I think supporting Meatless Mondays is awesome. After reading up on how bad ingesting animal products is, I can't imagine every going back. If you're interested on a plant based diet, I would suggest reading the books Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr or The Beauty Detox Solution by Kimberly Snyder. Both give tons of information on how to eat the correct way for you body!

It's in our blood to eat meat, and while it's good that people are trying to find ways to get the protein from substitutes, you can never go wrong with a good steak or burger. But, I think it's great that so many people are doing what they agree with.

I haven't gone Meatless Mondays yet (although if you looked at exactly what I ate I'm sure there's a few in there....) but I am semi - vegetarian daily anyway (I eat poultry and fish). Now that was an interesting Christmas. In all seriousness though, I've lost my taste for red meat. No, I'm not joking. I've been semiveg since two Decembers ago and by now if I did end up eating red meat (sources = my parents and a couple of times I forgot to look at the label....) I'd probably feel like I just ate 10 pig tubs of movie theater popcorn. I honestly never touch the stuff. Sometimes I do a meatless day every once in a while for fun, though.
