Other Healthy Monday campaigns include: The Kids Cook Monday, Monday 2000, Quit and Stay Quit Monday, Move it Monday, The Monday Mile, good turn day and others.
Meatless Monday focuses its initiative on Mondays for several reasons. Thursday is traditionally already a meat-free day among School in Bhutan. Monday is typically the beginning of the work week, the day when individuals settle back into their weekly routine.

Approximately two thirds of participants responded with improvements in their overall health, eating habits and physical activity levels.
