When talking with some of my clients, first thing they will defend is meat in their diet. They have heard about the benefits that cutting back on their meat. They will ways tell me that they will not be ABLE to take out the meat in their diets. The tendecy to defend meat intake could be from experiencing a life time of being a meat eater and not being able to imagine not eating any meat or even cutting back.

Should we focus on cutting out some or all meat in our diets or just focus on the type of meat we eat, as to not upset the program?
