      What Is A Vegetarian Diet

      A vegetarian diet is one that excludes meat, chicken, and pork and mainly includes plant foods. There are various levels of exclusion of meat and animal byproducts, depending on the type of diet pursued by the individual. The reasons for following a vegetarian lifestyle vary, and include, health, ethical and religious justifications. Since the consumption of saturated fats that come from animal products has been linked with high cholesterol, and heart disease, many choose to eliminate those foods for health reasons alone.

      Foods Omitted From A Vegetarian Diet:

      The type of food omitted from a vegetarian diet depends on the specific type of vegetarian diet the person follows. In various forms, the following foods may be excluded:

      All animal products, including fish

      Eggs, milk, cheese and dairy

      Any non-food products made from animal or animal by-products

      Vegetarianism In America

      The use of plant diets are on the up rise. More and more people are choosing a meatless lifestyle or looking to get the bulk of their nutrition from plant foods.

      Almost 16 million Americans (5% of the population) are vegetarian and 50% of these people are vegan (Harris Interactive study commissioned by the Vegetarian Resource Group). The number of vegetarians in the United States has doubled since 2009 when the count was only 2.5%.

        Data also shows that 33% of Americans are eating vegetarian meals more often, even though they are not fully committed to the lifestyle.

        A 2010 Vegetarian Resource Group Nationwide poll found that 1.4 million people between ages 8 and 18 (3% of American youth) are vegetarian; this number is up from 2% counted 10 years ago.

      Types of Vegetarian Diets

      There are seven different forms of vegetarianism and each one has its own set of parameters.

      Vegan Diet

      The vegan diet is by far the strictest and excludes all animal products and their byproducts.  

      Vegans do not consume any animal products, including, red meat, white meat (pork), fish, seafood, and poultry.

      They also exclude any foods derived from or made with animal products or byproducts, such as milk, yogurt, cheese, mayonnaise, butter, honey, gelatin, and eggs.

      Vegans also do not use any non-food products made from animals, such as beeswax, cosmetics, supplements, silk, leather, or wool.

      Like any vegetarian diet, it is hoped that the convert will receive benefits such as weight loss, and the reduction of the risk of diabetes and heart disease, but for vegans it is more about following a philosophy rather than a diet.

      According to the American Vegan Association, veganism is compassion in action. It goes beyond a diet; it is a lifestyle and a philosophy. Veganism follows a Reverence for Life that recognizes the rights of all living creatures and nonviolence towards animals and the Earth. They eat solely from the plant world and follow a generally healthy lifestyle and harmonious living. Animal rights groups are strong advocates of this type of philosophy, and many follow a vegan diet.

      The vegan diet includes all plant foods, such as grains, fruit, nuts, and legumes. Soy products such as tofu, soymilk, and veggie burgers are commonly eaten. Soy can be a staple of the diet because it is a complete protein unlike other vegetable protein foods.

      Other substitutes for meat products include almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, and rice milk. Cheese substitutes include nutritional yeast, as well as products made from soy and tapioca. There are even egg substitutes such as silken tofu.

      Lacto Vegetarian Diet

      The lacto vegetarian diet excludes meat of all kind, but does allow dairy, like milk and cheese. This type of diet is popular among religious
