Meatless Mondays is an International Campaign to promote going meatless once per week to reduce your risk of preventable conditions like obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer.  We like the idea of going meatless once per week because meat can often be a source of intake that contains the most calories.  Calories consumed must be lowered for weight loss & this is a great way to still maintain nutritional status while lowering calories & enjoying a delicious meal or snack!

Watch this quick video from MeatlessMonday.com to learn more information.  Their website provides all types of tools to help you in being successful in your mission to go meatless.
