I went through a long period of transition before cutting out animal produce entirely, but have now been vegan for a good few years.

This is the way. It's like a relationship: if you have to force it, it's gonna be shit.

I cut down on meat significantly in the past 3 years. I eat mostly vegetarian, fish once a week and meat every once in a while. Overall, my meat consumption decreased by about 90% which I call good enough and I don't really have the intention to change that.
