Have been a vegan going on three years. It's been hard to incorporate it into my diet, not eating any animal products or meat, nor eggs or dairy or any other animal-derived substances, but it makes me feel accomplished.
 i imaging it is tough being a vegan i have never tried it
Yeah, there's dietary vegans who follow the diet, and then those that consider them ethical vegans, because they follow the diet but also incorporate it into a larger philosophy and other areas of their lives, trying to avoid animal use for any purpose. I'm just dietary, though.
i eat meat but not a lot so i could go vegetarian but not full blown vegan
I could understand that. Some people choose vegetarianism also because of health reasons, as well as political, environmental, cultural, aesthetic/economic reasons as well. So, it all depends on your motivation.
i would do it for health reasons
Well, for vegans, for example, their diets can reduce the risk of certain types of chronic disease, especially heart disease. So, if you take a look at your family's history of medical concerns, maybe changing to one of these diets could benefit you.
i eat fairly healthy so i can gradually go more vegetarian without to much suffering
Well, for you specifically, you could do things like ovo-lact vegetarian, where you can have eggs/dairy, or ovo-vegetarian,where you can have eggs bu no dairy, or lacto-vegetarian, where you can have dairy. There's many ways for you have a healthy diet, and contribute to the philosophy, if you wanted to!
i would go ovo-vegetarian i can cut out dairy without no problems
