If it’s specifically pigs up for discussion, vegan and vegetarian are the same, and vegetarian is easier — I’m vegetarian, and AFAIK there’s no food made from pig’s milk (certainly nothing I’ve seen in the local supermarket).
But as for healthy? That’s the easy part, there are so many healthy vegan options it’s silly. Food cravings however, that’s hard (and also why I’m only vegetarian, not vegan — I’m looking forward to improvements to vegan cheese[0] in particular given everything else on sale around here now has good enough non-dairy alternatives — though the other part is that I’m not hugely concerned about the ethics of free-range no-kill eggs).

I tried vegetarian for a year and it was hard (this was 30+ years ago, and so much has improved!), but my current flexitarian diet is easy to maintain and a healthy option.
