    According tohttp://www.healthycookingrecipes.com , these are the four types of vegtarians:

    Type 1) Semi vegetarians - These 'vegetarians' eat all types of foods in their diet - including meat. However these individuals limit the amount of animal products they consume. I would be considered a semi vegetarian.

    Type 2) Lacto vegetarian - Individuals in this group are a step up from the semi vegetarians. They avoid all animal products except for dairy products in their diet.

    Type 3) Lacto-ovo vegetarians - This type of vegetarian diet excludes all meat except for dairy and eggs. Not too different from the previous type.

    Type 4) Vegans - These are the 'hard-core" vegetarians who avoid all animal products in their diet, such as meats, dairy products, and eggs. The vegan diet rely on lentils, beans, soy products etc..

    Notice fish is considered a meat,...hmmm,....interesting,....
    I'm a vegan, so a Type 4 vegetarian, what are you?

    ya it's real tough. Once you feel you have enough reason for doing it, that will be your drive. :)

    I eat dairy and eggs, but only when they're in something else.
    I wouldn't just eat an egg, or drink a glass of milk.
    I think it's just a case of me being too lazy to completely vegan.

    Vegan here... "hard-core" sounds a bit harsh though --- "intensely passionate towards the cause" is probably more accurate a description :p

    also, there are ovo-vegetarians, who will eat eggs. and pescatarians who eat fish and pollo-whatsits who eat poultry.

    I guess I am in catogary 3. But I don't directly eat eggs or drink milk. I would love to limit the amount of dairy produce in my diet by a considerable amount as this can make me hyper and trigger migraines.

    ps I am looking for vegetarian friendly migraine relief. Most of the painkillers I know of contain gelatin in them which is not helpful at all.

    shoulden't there be a 5th type though really?
    because there are those who eat only Raw (NOTHING cooked or processed, only frest fruits,veggies,fresh nuts etc.)

    myself i'm type 4: Vegan, 'Nuff Said

    Type 3) I eat pizza rolls and crap like that sometimes. The eggs I eat are freerange from a local farmer(very nice to his chickens.) The yogurtI eat is soy.
    About 50% the food I eat is vegan, the rest is vegetarian. And 50% of the vegetarian food is organic.
