Answer 1

Stop eating meat. If you are a sometime vegetarian, you can eat fish. If you want to be a vegan, stop eating anything that haas ever had contact with an animal (that includes milk, cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, yogurt, chocolate, etc.)

Answer 2

That's great you're interested in going veg. These two sites have all kinds of tips and resources for veg wannabes:

It helps to figure out which faux meats you do & don't like... then you can keep eating your favorite meals but replace the meat with faux meats. Here's a list of good products: http://vegcooking.com/guide-favs.asp

Some people transition over the course of a few weeks and some switch overnight so feel free to go at your own pace. Good luck!

I started by only eating meat once a week to see if i could handle it and I went completly vegetarian 2 weeks ago

Answer 4

Educate yourself! It's the most important thing you can do for yourself in the beginning. Learn what you should/shouldn't be eating. Find out about hidden animal ingredients, and when shopping read all labels. Eventually it all becomes easier. :)
