I know some of us here would have no problems with this and some are already vegan or vegetarian so would find it easier than easy! What about you. Would you find it difficult?

Yes, I think vegan is more of a challenge. I could probably do it for a week but then would miss certain dairy foods (including cheese).

Melted cheese on or in vegetable dishes can often persuade non-vegetarions. Then there's all kinds of interesting breads (including garlic bread). Pizzas are easily made without meat and just as delicious if spiked with capers, black olives, garlic and pungent herbs. Lots of guilty treats are vegetarian: cheesy chips, chip butties, cakes, doughnuts!
 
I believe it would be difficult but I feel sure I could get it done. I honestly think I could do anything I put my mind to. I just don't like to think that I would be forced into the week. Just reading it makes me want to try even now as I firmly believe it's the best way of living. I just looked in the kitchen and saw my husband preparing some ham and eggs and cheese and then it becomes hard: yet it can be done.
 
I could not do vegan, I am not willing to give up cheese! I could do a vegetarian diet for a week even though I am a meat lover. Meat is getting too expensive anyway so I would consider the break from it very good for my wallet. I am not as practiced in making vegetarian dishes, so as long as I had a cookbook or some guidance, I could do a vegetarian diet...probably more than a week!
