You are given with a lot of choices every day from which you make decisions, yes? In diet, you may choose to eat all meat, dairy products, seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. When you come to a point in your life when you firmly decide that you want to be a vegetarian, you still are faced with options. Will you be a vegan who eats strictly all veggies without dairy food products, seafood and meat? Or will you be one of the types of vegetarians who will not limit the intake of other food (but not meat) other than vegetables?
The Big Five
The Big Five
1. The Vegetarian Vegan
If you ever decide to be a vegan, be advised that you can eat only vegetables and vegetable materials such as peanuts and seeds. You cannot wear animal-made products like leather and wool. You cannot even use products with animal content or those which have been tested on animals. Pretty solid, right? Anyway, people will admire you for making a difference. Stay cool.
2. The Lacto
Lacto vegetarians set themselves apart by eating only vegetables and milk including cheese, butter and yoghurt. So you can still enjoy eating lots of lovely desserts and sweet stuff made of milky ingredients.

3. The Lacto - Ovo
Going down one level, you can be a lacto-ovo vegetarian who adds up egg into your diet aside from milk products. Still, egg has not formed into a chicken or duck therefore life is not there yet. Eggs are a good source of protein for vegetarians and there are many food recipes which require egg to taste. So if you want to be a vegetarian but can't let go on eating eggs, don't worry. You can fall into this category!

4. The Pesco
Pesco vegetarians are vegetarians who eat fish as well. Many restaurants offer fish and seafood so give yourself a personal serving and still consider being a vegetarian proudly.
5. The Vegetarian Fluctarian
The lowest type of vegetarian is the fluctarian. This means that you can eat white meat and other poultry but keep abstinence from eating red meat. By eating lean chicken, chicken soup or stock and whim meat, you will have the protein compound that vegans won't. So if you are concerned with the lack of specific nutrients that can't be found in a vegetarian diet, do not worry.
