I eat meat myself, but by chance I live with a vegetarian and cook food for two. So, if you look objectively, then why don't you give up, if there are reasons and a head on your shoulders. If you do everything wisely, then you will definitely not die, but rather even be happy.
Now about the reasons and how to do it.
The first one that is possible is the desire not to kill animals. If you want to preserve nature, if you adore animals and cry while eating another chicken, then giving up meat is quite natural. Just keep in mind that giving up meat won't save the planet. Don't forget to help shelters for stray animals and fight against farms that treat animals inhumanly(I'm not saying burn down all farms, I'm saying equip them so that animals can live comfortably and die painlessly and quickly before the whole world becomes vegetarian). Such small details will make you not just a hipster, but really a defender of wildlife.
The second reason is the desire to improve your health. Here everything is also simple and clear. It's no secret that meat is a heavy food, and vegetable protein is better absorbed. The main thing here is not to go to extremes. For example, do not go vegan, because it will deprive you of many useful elements of nutrition (besides, going to restaurants and cafes with friends will be a thing of the past for you). And seriously start counting the protein you consume. After a couple of years, the body's protein supply will run out if you don't replenish it daily with plant-based food, which will undermine the immune system and quite seriously. Also, check out information about which foods contain which vitamins. Seriously, you will thank yourself very much if you do not just give up meat, but seriously calculate the norms of your diet. Then the refusal of meat will be almost painless. Do not forget and be sure to buy at the pharmacy vitamins (such as B12), which you lose. They are inexpensive, but they will greatly help the body adapt. Discover incredible vegetarian cafes, products like soy and chickpeas, the benefits of nuts, and more.
About the head on your shoulders, it is also worth saying that if you get tired of it in a year, do not eat meat right away, as you will just throw up. Start with a light chicken and little by little.
