Types of Vegetarianism

There are different types of vegetarianism and your diet could vary depending on which type you choose to follow.

Strict vegetarianism: You must avoiding eating any sort of animal product, including those coming from eggs and milk.

Vegan: Similar to strict vegetarians, this diet excludes any sort of animal product, including their derivatives, like milk and honey. This is often times considered to be a lifestyle more than just a diet because you cannot consume any type of product that comes from animals, regardless of how it is prepared.

Ovo-lacto vegetarian: This diet includes eggs and dairy, but not meat. Some people choose only to consume eggs, or simply dairy.

Frugivore: This diet is based on fruits and seeds, excluding nearly any type of vegetable except those considered to be fruits, like avocados and tomatoes.

Raw Diet: This diet consists entirely of raw foods, which means that individuals following this diet only eat foods that do not require cooking. There are a lot of sprouts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, etc., which are included. Some people also include meat and fish so long as they don’t need to be cooked with heat.
