Are you already a vegetarian? If not, cut out red meat first, a few weeks later cut out chicken. Then cut out fish. Stick to this for a while until you get used to it. If you already are a veggie, what I did was I stopped drinking straight milk and stopped using it in cooking. Then, I did the same thing to eggs. After that, I cut out Milk and eggs from anything i ate and after a while of that eliminated all other animal products from my diet. If you make the transformation too quickly, you will get sick because of the darastic change in your diet. I have many friends that this happened to them and they went back to eating meat, just make sure your doing it nice and gradually and make sure you are getting an acceptable amount of calcium, protein, and iron.
