Eliminate Meat, Especially Red Meat!
Red meat is not a healthy source of nutrition. Animals are fed hormones to grow bigger faster, and antibiotics to reduce the chance of disease in their dirty, crowded living conditions. At slaughter, animals have a rush of adrenaline, a hormone that stimulates activity. All these things are passed on to the red meat eaten by the consumer – that's you!

Most of us eat more animal protein than we need. A diet with no meat still provides plenty of protein! The Total Health Makeover includes fish and poultry – preferably wild ocean fish and organic, vegetarian-fed chicken or turkey. It can also be easily adapted for a vegetarian diet, going totally meatless. Meat substitutes may be used as well.

You can get tips for eliminating red meat in the Going Meatless Lesson. This lesson includes recipes you'll love!


“Humans were meant to be vegetarians.... The structure of our skin, teeth, stomach, and bowels, and the length of our digestive system, are all typical of vegetarian animals. Somewhere along the way, we overcame our physical limitations and decided to kill other animals for food.”
