I tried going vegan and I did not last. I will die happy not healthy. I have cut down on the amount of meat that I eat, but I enjoy a piece of chicken and a nice steak every once in a while.
Maybe try going just vegetarian and still eat eggs and a little dairy to get you over the hump? I eventually want to go completely vegan, but for right now I'm doing vegetarian with a little dairy and eggs and am feeling so much better in just 8 weeks.
