What food restrictions are in a vegan diet?

Answer 1

Lacto avo vegetarian- What most people are. Eggs and milk are allowed in the diet, but no meat. Lacto vegetarian- No eggs. No meat. Everything else is fine. Avo vegetarian- Eats eggs, but no meat or milk. Pescatarian- Technically not vegetarian, but a lot of pescatarians call themselves vegetarian. They can eat fish, eggs, and milk, but the rest of meat is out. Vegan- No meat or animal products. Honey is border-line.

Answer 2

Omega 3 is the hardest for a vegan to reasonably fit into their diet. Eggs and fish are a large source of omega3 fatty acids for Omnivores. Vegans must use yeasts and flax to get this nutrient which promotes heart, liver and eye health.

Answer 3

Like vegetarians, vegans do not eat meat (red meat, chicken, fish or shellfish). A vegan diet is stricter than a vegetarian diet because it excludes eggs and dairy products as well. Animal byproducts such as casein (a milk derivative) are not consumed by vegans, nor is Gelatin (a common food additive derived from animal bones). For this reason, many processed foods are not vegan. Some varieties of refined sugar are not vegan because they are processed with animal bone-char. Many types of beer and wine are also not vegan, because they are processed with gelatin, isinglass (derived from fish), casein, and egg byproducts. Honey is not considered vegan, because the premise of veganism is to not partake in the exploitation of animals. This is debatable however, because some vegans are of the opinion that it downplays what they consider to be more important issues such as factory farming.
