KNYSNA | BITOU NEWS - It’s the same approach that many weight-loss programmes take, which require you to scrupulously note your daily calorie intake.
Following the same strategy can help you cut back on your steak intake.
And it’s an approach backed by science.
People have various reasons to want to reduce their meat consumption.
It may be for health reasons as well as to lose weight or save money and do one’s part in helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated by the meat industry.
However, we tend to underestimate our intake of steak, ham, chicken and other meat products.
This is the conclusion of a study conducted by scientists from a working group dedicated to environment and health at Oxford University.
According to the results, published in the European Journal of Nutrition and relayed by The Guardian, we can control the amount of meat we eat by taking the time to record it on an app or in a simple notebook.
The researchers have developed a website so that consumers involved in this study can count all the times they find themselves with a plate of food containing a meat product.
It should be noted that only individuals who eat meat at least five times a week were selected for the purposes of this research.
