2. Your Plant-Based Options Galore!

When it comes to going plant-based, the options are truly vast! Multiple plant-based diets exist to suit anything from aspiring vegan athletes to those just looking to give their health a boost. Here are a few of the choices:

• Vegan: Vegans completely shun animal products, including meat, eggs, and dairy, and instead focus on nourishing their bodies with plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains.
• Vegetarian: Vegetarians subsist dietarily on plant-based foods, but allow for the occasional egg or dairy product.
• Flexitarian: Flexitarians are largely plant-based, but do enjoy meat or animal products in small amounts.

Most of these diets have variations, too. For example, pescetarians include fish and other seafood in their diet, while whole food vegans focus on consuming whole foods only. And these are just a few of the various plant-based diets out there.
