Types of Diets
Omnivorous
This is a diet in which one consumes both animal and vegetable
foods. This is the diet of most people in the world; it is also
the easiest type of diet to balance. One must know, however, how
much and what specific foods to eat in order for this diet to
be healthy.
Lacto-ovo-vegetarian
This is the most common of the vegetarian diets, one that does
not include the consumption of animal flesh but does include the
consumption of eggs and milk and milk product. Vegetables foods
are the largest part of the diet, which contains mostly fruits,
vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.
A more vegetarian dirt reduces the risk if many common chronic
diseases. As long as one consumes adequate protein, they are also
same from protein deficiency and the problems that could arise
with that.
A mixed vegetarian diet with out without eggs or diary products
can supply adequate protein, although it will take more effort
and imagination. Just don't fill the diet with high fat, empty
calories and a lot of sugars and protein levels should be adequate.
If eggs or milk products are eaten once a day along with other
wholesome foods, this diet should be balanced in all aspects.
Vegetarians have in general - lower blood pressure and weight
less than omnivores. Their incidence of hypertension, obesity,
high cholesterol, heart disease, osteoporosis and cancer are all
reduced.
Vegan
This is the strictest, purest form of vegetarianism. No animal
products are consumed at all, only vegetable products, fruits
legumes, grains, nuts and seeds. No milk or milk products or egg
