3. Lacto-ovo vegetarians.
This will include your dairy products and eggs in your diet as well as the fruit and vegetables. This is a great way for you to transition from being a non vegetarian to a vegetarian diet because it is not as strict as most vegan diets.
4. Pesco and Pollo Vegetarians.
The Pesco vegetarians will include fish into their diets where as the pollo portion also includes chicken. Therefore these two categories cannot be considered strict vegetarians but they are strict advocates of healthy and organic food choices for a form of detoxification and also health reasons.
Regardless of the form of a vegetarian diet it gives weight loss benefits due to the calorie density that is involved. Therefore a diet that is rich in fiber will fill you up quicker and helps you curb your appetite.
You need to be aware though that even vegetarians need to keep an eye on their overall calorie intake in order to remain healthy. But it is still one of the best ways for anyone to lose weight if it is used in the correct form.
