There's no need to feel guilty for still eating meat. The fact you have cut down is hugely positive already.

It can take a while to transition. I happen to date a vegan who's studying nutrition and is an awesome chef, so I can tell you that it is possible to eat a satisfying and tasty plant based diet. Just give yourself time for your body to slowly adapt.

Alternatively you can take the shock route and watch Earthlings - a.k.a. the vegan converter.

-I don't. I only feel guilty that I didn't accomplish a goal that I set out to achieve. The idea was to stop eating meat for 1 year. I had always planned on returning. It had to do with self-dicipline. I failed.

-Completely agree and have experienced it personally. BUT... the "meat like" products do not come close (for the most part) to satisfying the flavor, texture and savoriness of meat.
