Vegetarianism means not only a certain diet that excludes from the diet the use of products of animal origin, or those that were obtained by causing harm to a living being. It is also a way of life for those who cannot remain indifferent to the problems of the animal world. Although there are people for whom this choice was forced - due to allergies to milk, eggs, intolerance to some animal products. Therefore, vegetarianism is divided according to the type of food taken.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the most flexible forms of vegetarianism is flexitarianism. It implies eating plant-based foods, and also only if you really want meat or fish.
Step 2
And the strictest trend is veganism. Vegans consume only plant products, completely excluding dairy products, meat, eggs, fish, seafood, honey. In addition, they oppose the use of cosmetics that have been tested on animals and the wearing of leather and fur products.
Step 3
This type of vegetarianism, as a raw food diet, means eating raw plant foods (fresh fruits, vegetables, sprouted cereals, herbs, dried fruits, nuts), that is, those that are not thermally processed. However, it is not forbidden to consume food that has been dried in the sun. Also, raw foodists do not exclude such a product as honey from their diet. But they don't use sugar, cereals, soups, any spices.
Step 4
Another type of vegetarianism is fruitarianism. Adherents of this type are those vegetarians who eat nuts, fruits, seeds. This choice of food is due to the fact that fruitorians do not want to harm not only animals, but also plants.
Step 5
Vegetarian lactation allows the consumption of dairy products in addition to plant foods. There is a similar type of vegetarianism - lacto-ovegetarianism, in which, in addition to dairy products, it is possible to eat eggs. It is one of the most common vegetarian diets.
Step 6
Another type of vegetarianism is sand vegetarianism. In it, fish is allowed along with plant foods.
Step 7
But seven-vegetarians can be called those who excluded only red meat from their diet. Eggs, milk, white meat, honey and other animal products are not forbidden to eat.
