Types of Vegetarians



The Different Types of Vegetarians!!


These days more and more, people are making the switch to vegitarianism.
A Vegitarian is a person who does not eat meat, and sometimes other animal products, especially for moral, religious, or health reasons. With that there are a few different types of Vegitarianism. Understanding the different types helps you choose the right path for you.

Types of Vegetarians

1. Semi-Vegetarian

Also know as a flexitarian, this is someone who occasionally intakes red meat, poultry, and seafood. They mostly consume vegetables. This is the best place to start when new to this world. If Semi-Vegitarianism sounds like the thing for you try slowly eliminating the meat options, you might realize it's easier than you thought.

2. Lacto Vegitarian

Basically this is vegan who eats dairy. A Lacto Vegitarian eats things made with milk; cheese, yogurt, butter, and cream. This would be more so for someone who feels very strong about staying with an all vegetable diet.  

3. Lacto-Ovo Vegitarian

My favorite personally would the Lacto Ovo Vegitarian. This type of Vegetarian eats eggs and dairy products. They more so have a balanced diet of eggs, dairy, fruits, and veggies. For someone just beginning, if you don't really eat meats like that I would start here first.

4. Ovo Vegitarian

An Ovo Vegitarian is one of the more interesting types to me. An Ovo Vegitarian eats no meat, no dairy, just eggs. They will not eat things like cheese, ice cream, or bitter. Eggs carry a lot of protein and nutrients. When it comes to the health aspect of things I would say this would be the easiest transition from semi to full.

5. Macrobiotic Vegitarian

If you love seafood this might just be the path for you. A macrobiotic Vegitarian mainly consumes veggies but will eat the occasional aquatic creatures. One thing to be careful of is, your mercury intake as well. A macrobiotic diets also elimates think others good for a cleaner experience so make sure you do you research before committing to this type.

At the end of the day moving to a cleaner way of life is a great step fixing your overall health. Remember that these are stepping stones for your future so be open to trying new things. This will open a lot of doors to a holostic way of living, so do be scared just embrace simple and holistic.
