Types of Plant-Based Diets

There are several types of plant-based diets that people follow. Each diet has its own rules and restrictions, but all of them rely on plant-based foods to meet nutritional needs.

Vegetarian Diet

One of the most popular plant-based diets is a vegetarian diet. Vegetarians don't eat meat, poultry, or fish, but they do eat dairy products and eggs. Some vegetarians also eliminate other animal products, such as honey, from their diets.

Vegan Diet

Another type of plant-based diet is a vegan diet. Vegans don't eat any animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, and honey. Instead, they rely on plant-based foods to meet their nutritional needs.

Flexitarian Diet

A third type of plant-based diet is a flexitarian diet. Flexitarians follow a mostly plant-based diet, but they occasionally eat meat, poultry, or fish. This diet is a good option for people who want to reduce their meat consumption but don't want to eliminate it completely.

Pescatarian Diet

A fourth type of plant-based diet is a pescatarian diet. Pescatarians don't eat meat or poultry, but they do eat fish and seafood. This diet is a good option for people who want to reduce their meat consumption but still want to eat some animal products.

Whole Food, Plant-Based Diet

Finally, a plant-based diet can also be a whole food, plant-based diet. This type of diet focuses on eating whole, unprocessed plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. It eliminates processed foods, refined grains, and added sugars. This diet is often chosen for its health benefits.
