What is a vegetarian diet?

There are various levels of vegetarianism.

Vegan (total vegetarian) - Diet includes only food from plants: fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts.
Lactovegetarian - Diet as for vegan plus the addition of cheese, milk, yoghurt, and other dairy products.
Lacto-ovovegetarian - Diet as for Lactovegetarian plus the addition of eggs.
Semi-vegetarians - Basically diet consists of everything except Red Meat.

The vegetarian diet misses important vitamins and minerals if it is strictly vegetarian.

A major benefit of the vegetarian diet is that it tends to involve a healthy serving of fruits and vegetables, along with whole grains. However, the problem is getting enough protein.

Vegetarianism is not for everyone. However, if you enjoy fruits and vegetables, are non-committal about meat, and are good at planning meals, you may want to go vegan. But if you do not fall into that category, another diet plan may be preferable. Which diet program you ultimately choose may depend greatly upon your personal preferences and what kind of diet regimen you are prepared to follow over the long run.

Not eating a lot of meat is good but you do need some kinds of animal products. You just can't get everything you need following one diet unless that diet has all you need.
