Dieta wegetariańska w świetle zasad prawidłowego odżywiania – postawy i zachowania wegetarian w Polsce
A Vegetarian Diet in the Light of the Principles of Proper Nutrition – Attitudes and Behaviour of Vegetarians in Poland

Summary/Abstract: In recent years vegetarian diets have increased in popularity. Thanks in part to their low energy density and high nutrient density, they are used as preventive treatments for commonly occurring diseases. The aim of this study was to demonstrate whether vegetarianism is consistent with the principles of good nutrition and the type of vegetarian diet that is closest to the traditional model of nutrition. Based on surveys and a review of the literature, it is concluded that the most similar model to a mixed diet is a lacto-ovovegetarian diet. Vegetarian diets are able to provide the body with essential nutrients if they are based on the proper selection of plant products and the use of some animal products, such as milk and eggs. An exception is the strictly vegetarian diet (e.g. veganism), which is not recommended by nutritionists.
