Many people turn to vegetarianism to improve their health, up their athletic ability, for religious reasons, or they may want to stop eating meat because of the moral issue surrounding the killing of animals. There are multiple different types of vegetarian and plant-based diets.

Vegetarian Diet Types

There are several different types of vegetarian and plant-based diets:

Vegetarian

If you follow a vegetarian diet, that means you don’t eat meat, poultry, or fish. There are different types of vegetarians, namely:

  • lacto-ovo vegetarians: eat both eggs and dairy products
  • lacto vegetarians: eat dairy products but not eggs
  • ovo vegetarians: eat eggs but not dairy products
  • pollo-vegetarians: eat poultry but avoid other meat and fish
  • pescatarians: eat fish but avoid all other meat

Vegan

If you’re following a vegan diet, you don’t eat meat, poultry, or fish. You also don’t consume dairy products, eggs, or other animal products, like gelatine or honey.

Flexitarian

Some follow what’s known as a semi-vegetarian or flexitarian diet. People following this diet eat mostly plant-based foods but may occasionally include meat, dairy, eggs, poultry, and fish in small amounts.
