If invited over for dinner and prime rib is offered I won't be offended, just eat a smaller portion of meat. Continue with the veg way of eating the next day.. Every once in a while I feel like having a piece of salmon.. go for it. I just don't make it a habit.

I want QUALITY in my life not quantity.. Healthy till the day I die, don't want to be bed ridden and decrepit when I'm 90
So far it's working.. Blood sugar/Blood pressure all good.. actually all blood work is very good for a 72 year old guy. I walk every day and go to the gym three times a week. Yoga in the AM along with meditation.. It's work to stay healthy and I have been doing it for years.....
A good way to start is reading
The Blue Zones by Dan Buettner. It's about how the healthiest and longest living people around the world and how they do it..
QUALITY not quantity.. YMMV
