[quote=Anonymous]I've been vegetarian, vegan, and omnivore.

What makes you want to be a vegan? I like the idea of vegan, but personally I found it to be not for me.

I'm currently plant forward, but still love meat.

If you are full on omnivore right now, OP, stop eating meat. By meat I mean beef, pork, chicken, fish, and any other animal flesh that you eat. If that is too much all at once, eliminate one category at a time - Red meat, then poultry, then fish.

Then - ta-da! - you'll be vegetarian! At this time you'll still be eating dairy and eggs. Try giving one of those up. And then the other. And then honey. Make sure you don't eat gelatin products, they can get into food very easily.

And then - ta-da! - you are vegan! You'll need to start taking your B-12.

For me, personally, I was an imperfect vegan for maybe 3-4 months. I craved meat. Dairy and eggs not so much, but meat, yes~

So currently I eat everything, but minimize the red meat (maybe eat it 3-4x/year?), eat poultry about once a week, and eat fish probably 3x a week. I eat all eggs, but I limit dairy, choosing oat and almond milks instead.  I avoid other dairy like yogurt, cheese, and ice cream, but I wouldn't say I don't eat them often.

Best of luck.
