Reasons vary widely as to why people opt to go vegetarian. Some claims health reasons, others for their stand about animal rights and there are some who just want to try it out.

For vegetarians, there is no specific eating plan. One thing is certain, vegetarians do not eat red meat, which is what the whole idea of turning vegetarian is for.

There are different vegetarian types:
1.    A vegan or total vegetarian do not eat anything else but plants like fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds and nuts.
2.    A lactovegetarian is someone who incorporates plants with dairy products like cheese and milk.
3.    An ovo-lactovegetarian is a diet of plants, eggs and dairies.
4.    Semivegetarians eat everything else except red meats.
5.    Pesci-vegetarian eats fish instead of chicken but no red meat.

Being a vegetarian, no matter what type you prefer, is a decision. Decision is something you think about, you research about and you stick about. It has many benefits health wise but it is best to seek guidance from a registered dietitian just to avoid deficiencies that usually comes with vegetarianism.
