I have been a vegetarian for a few months now, still learning about eating healthy.
Oh so you practice abstaining from eating meat or animal by products
Yes! It has been helping me loose weight and I feel better. My husband is lactose intolerant so cutting dairy helps him.
People adopt the practice of vegetarianism for many reasons so I am guessing your reasons are diet and health?
Yes, I'm not sure if I will keep doing this long term. It has been tough, especially eating out.
Other reasons people adopt the vegetarian lifestyle include political, environmental, cultural and economoic
Oh wow I didn't know some of those reasons, it has defenitly been a lifestyle change thats forsure. 
A vegan diet cuts out all animal products including dairy and eggs
