All followers of a vegetarian diet can be divided into several groups.

The basis for such division is, of course, the chosen diet.

Vegans

Vegans can only have plant products on their table. You will never see meat, fish, poultry, eggs, honey or dairy products here.

Lacto-vegetarians

Such vegetarians refuse to eat meat, fish, poultry and eggs, but they eat plant-based and dairy products with gusto.

Lacto-ovo vegetarians

If you ever want to join this group, be prepared to eat plant foods, eggs, and dairy. But don't even dream about meat, fish, or poultry.

Semi-vegetarians

The basis of the diet of adherents of this group is plant products, but they do not completely refuse to eat meat, fish, poultry, eggs and milk, although they eat them in small quantities.

Raw foodists

The basis of this nutritional system is thermally unprocessed foods, mainly vegetables and fruits.

However, if eggs, beef, fish and beans are raw, then they can also be included in the diet.

Earlier we talked about why fluid accumulates in the body.
