Types of Vegetarians

 

1) Pescatarian (also spelled pescetarian)

The word “pescatarian†is occasionally used to describe those who abstain

from eating all meat and animal flesh with the exception of fish. Although the

word is not commonly used, more and more people are adopting this kind of

diet, usually for health reasons or as a stepping stone to a fully vegetarian

diet.

 

2) Flexitarian/Semi-vegetarian

You don’t have to be vegetarian to love vegetarian food! “Flexitarian†is

a

term recently coined to describe those who eat a mostly vegetarian diet, but

occasionally eat meat.

 

3) Vegetarian (Lacto-ovo-vegetarian)

When most people think of vegetarians, they think of lacto-ovo-vegetarians.

People who do not eat beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish or animal flesh of

any kind, but do eat eggs and dairy products are lacto-ovo vegetarians

(“lactoâ€

comes from the Latin for milk, and “ovo†for egg). Lacto-vegetarian is used

to describe a vegetarian who does not eat eggs, but does eat dairy products.

Ovo-vegetarian refers to people who do not eat meat or dairy products but do

eat eggs.

 

4) Vegan

Vegans do not eat meat of any kind and also do not eat eggs, dairy products,

or processed foods containing these or other animal-derived ingredients such

as gelatin. Many vegans also refrain from eating foods that are made using

animal products that may not contain animal products in the finished process,

such

as sugar and some wines. There is some debate as to whether certain foods,

such as honey, fit into a vegan diet.

 

5) Raw vegan/Raw food diet

A raw vegan diet consists of unprocessed vegan foods that have not been

heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius). “Raw foodistsâ€

believe

that foods cooked above this temperature have lost a significant amount of

their nutritional value and are harmful to the body.

 

6) Macrobiotic

The macrobiotic diet, revered by some for its healthy and healing qualities,

includes unprocessed vegan foods, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables,

and allows the occasional consumption of fish. Sugar and refined oils are

avoided. Perhaps the most unique qualifier of the macrobiotic diet is its

emphasis on the consumption of Asian vegetables, such as daikon, and sea

vegetables,

such as seaweed.
