My girlfriend's a vegeterian, going for vegan. I'm (kind of) vegetarian. I stopped eating red meat for about a year now. Can't say I noticed any physiological difference, possibly because I generally still have some white meat on the side (chicken and fish). My cooking however has improved a thousand percent.
My lunches used to be meat, rice and beans and a salad. Now I generally eat a banana instead of the meat. I don't miss it at all.

It sounds like you have a healthy diet. I don't. I travel a lot and will eat unhealthy fast foods while on the road. I know I could have just given up "fast food" but I thought, why not try and give up meat too? My wife doesn't eat much meat so it won't be hard and I think she will appreciate it. I look forward to learning new styles of cooking too.
I doubt I'll miss it much either.

Back when I drank a lot of soda, I was fat. I used to drink it all day long when I worked in restaurants. Once I cut that out of my diet it was amazing how quickly I lost weight. Within a month I had dropped between 15-20 pounds. That stuff is pretty horrible for you. I think a lot of people make the mistake of thinking that because it's "diet", it's somehow good for you. I know people that drink gallons of diet soda every day.
