There is no doubt the report from the World Health Organization classifying numerous meat products as carcinogenic is stirring up a response in many of us. Although there has been lots of evidence to suggest a diet including meat can be detrimental to not only our health but also to that of the planet, many people find it difficult to adopt a more plant-based diet. Food is not just what we put in our bodies, it is fuel for daily activities, as well as tastes, flavours, and smells associated with memories. Making dietary changes can be challenging. You will have habits you need to break, and new cooking skills and information you need to learn. Having someone to be accountable to and who will provide knowledge and direction along the way is helpful in making successful dietary changes -this is where a health coach can be an invaluable resource.
