class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We were all likely raised with the idea that meat is the center of the meal, and the rest are sides that complement it. But is eating meat with every meal good for you?<strong> While meat contains a lot of protein and other nutritional value, consuming it can lead to health issues like weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Heart.org, <em>\u201cIn general, red meats (beef, pork, and lamb) have more <\/em><em>saturated (bad) fat<\/em><em> than chicken, fish and vegetable proteins such as beans. Saturated and trans fats can raise your blood cholesterol and make heart disease worse.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re looking at meat alternatives for health, start by looking at the meats that you should cut out. Red meat is the unhealthiest, as it\u2019s packed full of saturated fat, but eating chicken and fish (when served correctly) can provide some key nutrients that your body needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>Read more: 10 Vegetarian recipes for the instant pot<\/h5>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_start_cutting_out_meat\"><\/span>Where to start cutting out meat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Not everyone is up for the task of becoming a vegetarian. But with so many meat alternatives out there, it\u2019s so much easier to transition into becoming a \u201cmeatless\u201d family or incorporate more vegetables into your diet!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Replacing your diet with meat alternatives is not always a simple process. <\/strong>If you\u2019ve eaten meat with every meal for years, your body will likely crave it and make you feel like you\u2019re not full after each meal. Starting the transition into a more veggie-friendly diet can be a slow, easy, and even fun process. <strong><em>Here are some ideas to get you started:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Start with one meal a day<\/strong><\/h4>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>You don\u2019t need meat with every meal. <\/strong>There are so many ways to substitute the \u201ccenter of your meal\u201d with just a recipe change. Instead of having bacon and eggs for breakfast, opt to eat a bowl of granola! Simply cutting out meat in one meal a day can help ease you into more meat alternatives down the road.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Meatless Mondays<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve gotten the hang of not having meat with every meal, try it for a day! Spending one day a week of eating meat alternatives or no meat can have a huge impact on the environment. Meatless Mondays tells us that, \u201c<em>Producing ONE quarter-pound beef burger uses up enough energy to power an iPhone for 6 months\u201d. <\/em><strong>If you can have that much of an impact on the planet by cutting out meat for one meal, imagine how much you can impact it by cutting it out for a day!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meatless Mondays goes on to tells us <em>\u201c<\/em><em>Research suggests<\/em><em> that people are more open to trying healthy behaviors at the start of the week. Monday offers an opportunity to \u201creset\u201d and get back on track after any lapses over the weekend and studies show people that get back on track at the beginning of the week are better able to maintain progress over time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Maybe Fridays are your family day, and it would be easier to get everyone on board with meat alternatives on that day \u2013 and that\u2019s totally fine! Research says that Mondays are a great way to get people on board after \u201cresetting\u201d, but sometimes Friday\u2019s can be easier as it is the day that offers the most closure.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Make it a Family Project<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Communicating with your family on why you\u2019re starting to include more meat alternatives is a great place to start. Simply talking about your reasoning will not only help your family understand, but it will give you confidence in your decision. When you\u2019re talking about cutting out meat to your family, communicate the reasons, and ask for their opinions on how they would like to make changes. <strong>This will help them feel included and more onboard to try meat alternatives!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h5>Read more: All you need to know about a vegetarian child<\/h5>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Meat_Alternatives\"><\/span>Meat Alternatives&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now that you\u2019re set on cutting back on your meat consumption, let\u2019s talk about some of the best meat alternatives that are out there!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Beyond Meat<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Meat alternatives that still taste like meat are a great substitution! Beyond Meat is a company that has a number of plant-based meat alternatives. Some of these items include plant-based burgers, sausages, and even ground beef!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Their website is also full of recipes on how to prepare these meat alternatives to taste just like the real thing! <strong>It\u2019s definitely a great place to start, especially when your body is still wanting to have meat as the center of each meal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Meat alternatives don\u2019t necessarily have to focus on replacing meat in your diet.<\/strong> You may have grown to not like the taste of meat and instead are looking to replace the nutritional value you need when you don\u2019t have it in your diet. Grains are packed full of fiber and help keep our digestive systems healthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Diets like Whole30 have been extremely popular in the past few years, but cutting out grains may not be the best idea for you, especially if you\u2019re also trying meat alternatives. One Green Planet tells us, <em>\u201cWhole grains are filled with antioxidants, and are rich in fiber which can help you stay full if you\u2019re having a difficult time replacing the meat in your diet\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not only are grains a great addition to your diet, but there is also a huge variety in how to serve them. You can add a side of rice or quinoa to any meal, but adding grains into your soups and salads will not only add in extra nutritional value, but <strong>it will also add a bit of texture that you may feel like you\u2019re missing.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daily-mom-parent-portal-meat-alternatives-pin.jpg\" data-pin-description=\"\" data-pin-title=\"\" data-pin-id=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daily-mom-parent-portal-meat-alternatives-22.jpg1_.jpg\" alt=\"Important Reasons To Switch To Meat Alternatives\" class=\"wp-image-207692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daily-mom-parent-portal-meat-alternatives-22.jpg1_.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daily-mom-parent-portal-meat-alternatives-22.jpg1_-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daily-mom-parent-portal-meat-alternatives-22.jpg1_-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daily-mom-parent-portal-meat-alternatives-22.jpg1_-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daily-mom-parent-portal-meat-alternatives-22.jpg1_-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daily-mom-parent-portal-meat-alternatives-22.jpg1_-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daily-mom-parent-portal-meat-alternatives-22.jpg1_-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daily-mom-parent-portal-meat-alternatives-22.jpg1_-630x420.jpg 630w\" title=\"Important Reasons to Switch to Meat Alternatives 4 Daily Mom Parents Portal\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><strong>You may be hearing this word and think \u201cBut I cannot stand the texture of tofu!\u201d.<\/strong> If you\u2019ve eaten tofu and had a problem with the texture, then don\u2019t worry!
