Vegetarian Diet
The Vegetarian Diet involves the elimination of meat and fish from the diet, but unlike the Vegan Diet, it may include eggs, dairy products, and honey. Adherents follow this diet for a variety of reasons, including health, environmental concerns, and animal welfare.
A typical Vegetarian Diet includes a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Compared to the Vegan Diet, it offers more flexibility in terms of animal product consumption, allowing for a broader range of foods. On the other hand, it's less restrictive than the Pescatarian Diet, which, although it allows fish, it still excludes other types of meat.
Many followers believe that a Vegetarian Diet is healthier than a meat-inclusive diet, as it tends to be lower in saturated fat and cholesterol and higher in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They also believe it's more environmentally sustainable than diets including meat, due to lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduced land and water use.
