Which is healthiest: A normal diet, a vegetarian diet or a vegan diet?

Also, if you are a vegetarian, can you eat fish?

And, what can you not eat with a vegan diet?

Thanks! :)Which is healthiest: A normal diet, a vegetarian diet or a vegan diet?
A vegan diet is absolutley the healthiest. BTW that's a Normal diet.

It is NOT normal to eat meat. Even an omnivore diet is opportunistic at best.

If you're a vegetarian you can't eat meat- and fish is a meat ( well, that' what it is if you eat it, otherwise it's not meat its an animal)
No vegetarian eats meat- all animals are not to be eaten.

Vegan is the best diet- it doesn't have any of the animal by products that are so unhealthy for a human body, which was never ever designed to ingest them. We're just not designed to eat the fatty substances from the inside of a mammals breast. It's a fatty, waxy residue, which nature formed to give the young of that species enough calcium to grow teeth. When they're formed, the fatty, waxy calcium susbstance stops being made. Some other species- the "human" species, come to scrap this fatty waxy substance out of the breast of that mammal too, and then eat it.
They get intolerance from it- it gives them some items inside that fatty waxy substance which makes them a bit sick- it contains cholesterol, ( the fat from that mammal) and that is poisonous to a human body, it also contains high levels of fat which the human doesn't need.
Also, the fatty waxy substance is purely an oil to create enamel- one of the hardest substances made in the body of a mammal- and it has very acidic properties to make that enamel- these acids, are often toxic, even mildly, to a human body. They contain sugars which are alien to the human body.
Humans themselves can make use of their OWN species fatty waxy substance from the breast of their kind, and this is only a very short period of time when they need to form enamel ( the enamel is needed as a slicer and grinder of plant matter).

So, ingesting the acidic waxy fat from another animal species is an alien and unnatural concept, and has quite a lot of health effects in a human body, none of which are beneficial.

It aslo creates acids in the human body, to keep ingesting this toxic substance- and the human body does not like acid formation. It is one reason for organ erosion- acids in the body do basically that- they erode and wear the body dow
, as if the internal parts are being bathed in a mild acid solution.

All fatty waxy substances from a non human species, which a human ingests, for reasons of greed, misinformation, uniformed choices with that brain they have, result in gentle disease of the human condition.
Meat, flesh, blood, wax, fatty tissues and fatty coagulated substances ingested from another mammal are not a natural or beneficial thing for a human to eat and should be avoided as far as is possible.

THese items are used by a lot of humans even though they know they're not good/ Humans do a lot of things not good for their bodies which seems a shame.

The foods that are available from the earth make a human body GLOW with health, and filled with packed nutrients NOT containing the waxy fatty build up in mammal bodies. SO one could ingest larger portions of that plant based smorgasbord of multicoloured food and actually exist with more energy- the human body has a TON of energy without even trying, once you ingest the properly given foods from the ergonomic bounty of the plant world, the human brain works as it should, feels as it should, and moves as it should.

Vegan . ( stay away from mammal bodies)
If by 'Normal', you mean omnivore, then it depends. Normal is subjective. Weather a diet is healthy or not depends on if it is balanced and if you are consuming the right amounts of each nutrient on a daily basis, you should be fine.



If you are someone who is consuming fish but no other meat, you would be considered a pescitarian. Quite often, dairy and eggs are included in this lifestyle.



There are at least two different types of vegetarianism. There is lacto (consumes dairy), lacto-ovo (consumes dairy and eggs)



There are also two main types of veganism. There is dietary and there is lifestyle. If you are a dietary vegan, you do not consume any animal products or animal processed products whatsoever. (i.e. white refined sugar is processed with bone char some of the time. This sugar, although a plant derivative, is not vegan because it was processed with an animal product.) The controversial item and sometimes exception to this is honey.

If you are a lifestyle vegan, you do not consume or use any animal products at all. This not only includes food and how the food is processed but also includes clothing and other consumer items, etc. that were made from or processed with animal sources.



Again, if you maintain a healthy balance of fruits, veggies, carbs, protein, non-saturated fats, enough water, etc. on a daily basis any of the above diets can be considered healthy. Finding ways to cut down or cut out animal products is an ethically conscious and environmentally conscious decision that some people decide to make aside from health reasons.



I hope that this clarifies the differences among all the different dietary choices you inquired about. If you are trying to choose for yourself, then I hope that this explanation has helped. All the best to you. :-)Which is healthiest: A normal diet, a vegetarian diet or a vegan diet?
All of these diets are equally healthy, as long as healthy foods are eaten within each one of them. The vegetarian and vegan diets are purported to be healthier than a conventional diet, but a conventional diet can be just as healthy, as long as meat is eaten rarely and the cut is lean (preferably fish).
All are healthy if appropriately planned. Doughnuts and cans of Coke are vegetarian and even vegan in some cases, but that doesn't make them healthy, does it?

Personally, though I am a vegan I feel any of these diets can be healthy so long as you don't overindulge in the ways that the seperate groups tend to...ie, I think omnivores tend to eat too much red meat. Certainly not all of them but many of the people I know who say they "don't eat much meat" eat way more than is recommended. Vegetarians and vegans, on the other hand, may over-rely on soya and tofu and TVP products which might not be healthy.

Any diet should be based largely around wholegrains and fruits and vegetables. Whether or not you choose to add meat to that or beans/nuts/seeds/tofu/tempeh etc is your choice. Certain items vegetarians tend to eat lots of...like nuts and seeds, are VERY good for you and should be included regularly whether you eat meat or not.

Vegetarians don't eat animals. Fish are animals. if you eat fish only and no other animals, you are called a pescetarian.

Vegans should not eat eggs, dairy products, or honey in addition to meat (which includes fish). This includes eliminating all trace ingredients in products, eg whey, lactose and cochineal and many other ingredients including e-numbers which may be animal based. The easiest way is to focus on whole, natural foods like wholemeal breads (some are not vegan though so watch), rice, pasta, fruits, vegetables, beans and lentils, nuts and seeds, plant oils and avocado and "replacement" meat products like tofu, instead of focusing on refined white grains, cookies, cakes, biscuits etc. If you are buying a lot of processed food you'll be less healthy and squinting at the ingredients list on the packets more often lol!

Please bear in mind if you are doing it for the animal there are many other things vegans shouldn't use/do like fur, leather, animal tested products, etc.Which is healthiest: A normal diet, a vegetarian diet or a vegan diet?
Remember the food pyramid? It's been readjusted within the last few years. What used to be okay has been changed. The important thing to do is what is right for your body.



Regular diet of the food groups has always done a decent job.



However, some feel that the vegetarian diet works better for them, since it is based on fruits and vegetables. Some versions allow for dairy or eggs, but definitely no meat or fish. There are concerns over the use of tofu that can be a harmful culture if not handled correctly.



As far as the Vegan diet - it is strict fruits and vegetables - often with better than 80% of it being raw food. No dairy-eggs-meat-fish. Some even frown upon the high use of soy, of which tofu is based.



One of the best things you can do for yourself, if you are contemplating a move to a different diet is to consult your family doctor and check out:

I hope this helps.
which is healthiest a normal veg diet or a normal vegan diet = both are equally healthy.



OR were you trying to be funny? Is that suppose to be a third option??





What is considered a normal diet?The McDonald's happy meal fast food genetically modified, solent green, dead animal flesh, growth hormones, antibiotics, recycle animal by products, wood pulp, processed glow in the dark foods, high fructose corn syrup, fats and grease, salt, nitrates, food dyes,fillers,preservative's??? Is That what you consider a NORMAL diet???



Is there a way that people who consume such could have it indicated on their donor card because those parts would be pretty much useless from the diet.
Vegetarians are not supposed to eat any kind of meat. Fish is meat. People who eat no meat except fish are called pescetarians, not vegetarians.



Our species has evolved as omnivores, meaning we can eat meat and plants. Hogs, chickens, and bears are some of the other species that have evolved as omnivores.



It's easily proven we're meant to eat meat, eggs and dairy products. They are the only foods that naturally contain vitamin B12 and you can't live without B12. B12 has only been avilable in pills for about 30 years. If your grandmother hadn't eaten animal products, she would have died, your mother would never have been born and neither would you.



We get complete protein (amino acids) from meat; only incomplete protein from veggies. The amino acids they contain must be combined (not at every meal, though) for complete protein. The iron in meat is heme iron. It's much easier for your body to absorb and use than the non heme iron in veggies. Vitamin D3 is from animals and much better than the D2 from veggies.



Yes, you can and should get lots of vitamins and minerals from vegetables. But giving up all animal products is not healthy. Humans do best on a balanced diet: some meat, some veggies, some fruit, restrict refined grains and sugar.



From theveganRD:



"There is, of course, a pretty good argument for eating more plants (lots more plants) and less animal food, but no one has shown that you must eat a 100 percent plant diet in order to be healthy. So to make an argument for a 100% vegan diet based on health benefits alone, we have no choice but to stretch the truth. We have to overstate the benefits of vegan diets, and sometimes minimize or dismiss the risks. And as soon as we stray from the actual facts, our advocacy is on shaky ground."



I'll translate that for you:



"stretch the truth." = we lie

"overstate the benefits" = we lie

"stray from the actual facts" = we lie

"advocacy is on shaky ground." = sometimes we get caught

A monitored, balanced diet. You need the right amount and variety of nutrients regardless of where you get them from.



Vegetarians don't eat fish. Someone who eats a vegetarian diet plus fish is called a pescatarian.



A vegan diet excludes any and all animal products, such as eggs and dairy.
All diets mentioned are equally healthy as long as they are well balanced diets providing optimum nutrition according to a person's particular needs.

And no person on any particular diet will be healthy if they have a sedentary (read couch potato) lifestyle.
A normal diet of course.

It supplements your body with protein

from red meat which vegans restricts.

Protein from vegetables is insufficient and

inadequate and protein from meat is required

for everyday consumption but not too much.

You cant eat foods that involves animals like honey,

which bees worked hard for.

Vegan diet, for me, is not recommended for children

because protein from meat is part of the growing process.

And im not sure about that fish but i think vegans do not like

food that came from animals. But if you prefer normal diet,

it involves also vegetables for source of nutrients which meat cannot

give.



I really dont know why vegans do not like to eat meat

because they say its cruelty. But that is completely natural,

it's part of the natural process that involves consumption of other

living organisms to balance the flow of the nature.
