    Start easy, cut out 1 animal you don’t eat too much of and go from there. Once I stopped eating beef, pork and lamb I felt weird about eating chicken, so just stopped altogether! (amongst other reasons)

    Good luck on your journey!

        Another thing that helped was to hold of ‘recreating’ your favourite dishes by making them veggie/vegan, at least to start with. Since you’ll have just given up meat, you’ll be directly comparing to the meat counterpart.

        There are so many amazing veggie and vegan dishes out there, have a go at making some of them first. After all you want to give yourself the best chance possible.

        It certainly takes a lot of effort to change your eating behaviour, but I’ve certainly felt a lot better after making the change. Good luck and remember to start small! :)

      I did so for greenhouse gases reasons. First I stopped with beef, never enjoyed lamb (poor young thing), and several others. Pork pretty much, too, but sometimes I still eat it, same with chicken. Not at home, there are amazing alternatives for sausage and ‘meat’. But when eating at restaurants, I have issues eating vegan or vegetarian due to some intolerances. And eggs are still a problem for me. But I buy from a source where male hatchlings are not getting shredded.
