Nah it's way easier to go vegan. The problem with "cutting back" is it isn't specific so you're not going to monitor how much you're actually cutting back and you're either just going to end up patting yourself on the back for doing nothing or feeling guilty every time you have meat. If you do plan on monitoring your intake then being vegan is genuinely just less effort. Trust me, I dabbled with that for a while before going completely cold turkey overnight and found being vegan way easier. Maintaining a streak works as a great motivator and if you cut out animal products completely it's way easier to stop seeing them as food, vs "sometimes is okay" where you're constantly tempted by them.
