According to their food habit, there are four different types of vegetarians.

The ones who take all dairy products and honey, but avoid eggs are called lacto vegetarians.

Ovo vegetarians are ones who won't take dairy product, but eat eggs and honey.

Lacto-ovo vegetarians will eat dairy products, eggs and also honey.

Vegans are serious type of vegetarian who depend only on plant based foods like fruits, vegetables, greens, pulses, grains, spices and grams.
