Answers:
The switch over the vegetarianism is quite easy!. All you have to do is cut meat and other by-products of slaughter out of your diet!. Veganism on the other hand is hard at first, but once you get the hang of it it is easy too!.

Are you having tummy problems only after eating meat, is that why you want to remove it from your diet!? You do need to do a little research before hand to find out how to eat an alternative protein source!. Remember though, eliminating only red meat is not a true form of vegetarianism!. There's a variety of vegetarian diets, which all differ in strictness of which types of meat and animal products are allowed!. I would first consult a dietitian, nutritionist or your doctor before doing that though, to make sure there isn't something medical going on!. A vegetarian diet can be a healthy one, as long as you do research first so you don't deprive yourself of much needed nutrients you get from meat, eggs, cheese, etc!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
When you first think of going vegetarian, it would definitely sound very daunting for a regular meat-eater; imagine having to give up all that delicious animal food!
But you would realize that, as you go along, it becomes easier than you first thought!. The initial period is definitely the hardest, after which your body and your taste buds would slowly adapt to the change!.
Having said that, there will be other challenges you will also face!. Mainly, your number of sources of food - both at cafes and restaurants, as well as dry foods such as snacks - would be greatly reduced!.
In addition, you will need to think through what you intend to do for social occasions where most if not all of the food is animal-based!.
You will also have to deal with mindsets - people will make comments, question you, and even ridicule you on your diet choices!. Some who mistakenly think that meat is "needed" for good health might also put pressure on you!.
What is important, I feel, is to be very clear about your reasons for being vegetarian, and to be committed to your decision!.
If you feel that going animal-less is too drastic a step, you may want to consider taking a gradual step first - for example, being a flexitarian (one who is vegetarian most of the time but eats meat for social occasions)!. More details on different types of vegetarian diets are described in the first source mentioned below!.
Hope this helps!. If you do it right, I can say that there is a very high likelihood that you are going to love the way your body feels after going vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I didn't find it hard at all!. Contrary to what the first poster said, restaurants without a vegetarian option are few and far between (many don't have a vegan option, but that's a different story!.) You can eat a Boca burger at a barbecue; meat replacers are handy when you're making the transition and some of them are really tasty!.
The only way you'll know is to try it!. Give up meat for a month and see what happens!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tummy problems are the reason I cut meat out, too!. It's an adjustment, but after six-and-a-half years, most of them vegan, I think it's the best decision I ever made and wish I'd done it sooner!.

It isn't that hard, actually!. I mean, most menus don't serve vegetarian entrees and when you go to bbq's you always feel out of place, but since I gave up meat because I thought it was gross it wasn't very difficult for me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It really depends on a lot of factors, such as your age/family/access to veg foods, and how much meat you ate to begin with!. I thought the first week or so was horrible, then it very rapidly became easy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
