Step One: Reduce Meat
The first step towards a healthier diet is to reduce the amount of meat you consume. Here are a few easy tips:
  • Use small portion sizes, such as several ounces of lean beef or skinless chicken
  • Use meat as a flavoring; mix with other foods, like stir-fries, burritos, stews, or soups
  • Trim visible fat
  • Eat fish instead; fish is a healthier animal food, you can include larger portions (4 to 6 ounces)
