Some people's dietary choices are influenced by their religious, spiritual or philosophical beliefs.

* [[Buddhist cuisine|Buddhist diet]]: While [[Buddhism]] does not have specific dietary rules, some Buddhists practice [[Buddhist vegetarianism|vegetarianism]] based on Mahayana Buddhism's strict interpretation of the first of the [[Five Precepts]].<ref>Weintraub, Eileen. {{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20200203061437/http://www.serv-online.org/Eileen-Weintraub.htm "Life as a Vegetarian Tibetan Buddhist Practitioner: A personal view"]}}.

* [[Diet in Hinduism|Hindu diet]]: It is popular for followers of Hinduism to follow [[Lacto vegetarianism|lacto vegetarian diets]] (though most do not), based on the principle of [[ahimsa]] (non-harming).<ref name=hindudiet/>  Consuming [[Beef|beef/cattle]] is forbidden or at least taboo among followers due to [[Cattle in religion and mythology|cow veneration]]. Most Hindus in India do intentionally limit their meat consumption one way or another.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Corichi |first=Manolo |title=Eight-in-ten Indians limit meat in their diets, and four-in-ten consider themselves vegetarian |url=https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/07/08/eight-in-ten-indians-limit-meat-in-their-diets-and-four-in-ten-consider-themselves-vegetarian/ |access-date=2022-08-01 |website=Pew Research Center |language=en-US}}</ref>
* [[Jain vegetarianism|Jain diet]]: Due to how the Jain faith interprets ''ahisma,'' [[vegetarianism]] is considered mandatory for followers; a lacto-vegetarian diet<ref>{{Cite book |last=van Popering |first=Ruben |url=http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-119663 |title=Jain Vegetarian Laws in the City of Palitana : Indefensible Legal Enforcement or Praiseworthy Progressive Moralism? |date=2015}}</ref> or vegan diet<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Miller |first1=Christopher Jain |last2=Dickstein |first2=Jonathan |date=July 2021 |title=Jain Veganism: Ancient Wisdom, New Opportunities |journal=Religions |language=en |volume=12 |issue=7 |pages=512 |doi=10.3390/rel12070512 |issn=2077-1444|doi-access=free }}</ref> in particular is considered appropriate for Jains. Most Jains also abstain from consuming root vegetables in order to prevent harming insects, worms and microorganisms when they are uprooted. Most also partake in [[Fasting in Jainism|some form of fasting]].<ref name=":0" /> Some variants of Jainism further discourage or forbid the consumption of honey, fungi, alcoholic beverages and fermented foods.
* [[Islamic dietary laws|Islamic diet]]: Muslims follow a diet consisting solely of food that is [[halal]] – permissible in Islam. The opposite of halal is [[haraam]], food that is Islamically impermissible. Haraam substances include carnivores, pork and other non-ruminant animals, and any meat from an animal which was not killed through the Islamic method of ritual slaughter ([[Dhabihah]]).<ref>[http://www.halalcertified.com/halal.html "What do Halal, Dhabiha Halal and Haram Mean?"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120827000216/http://www.halalcertified.com/halal.html |date=27 August 2012 }}. halalcertified.com. Retrieved 11 March 2012.</ref> If an otherwise Halal animal was subject to torture by humans, its meat can still be considered non-permissible for Muslims.
* [[I-tal]]: A set of principles which influences the diet of many members of the [[Rastafari movement]]. One principle is that natural foods should be consumed. Emphasis is put on consuming produce that is fresh, organic and ideally grown at home or locally. Another principle involves avoiding "unclean" types of food; the definition which is influenced by Biblical teachings. In order to preserve "life energy" Rastafarians encourage [[teetotalism]], and many Rastafarians interpret I-tal to advocate vegetarianism or veganism as well.<ref>[http://www.dundee.ac.uk/chaplaincy/guidetoreligions/rastafarianism/ "Rastafarianism"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160605162631/http://www.dundee.ac.uk/chaplaincy/guidetoreligions/rastafarianism/ |date=5 June 2016 }}. [[University of Dundee]]. Retrieved 11 March 2012.</ref> Many followers do view seafood as an acceptable addition to an I-tal diet but they restrict which kinds they permit; fish over a foot long are typically avoided and all shellfish are eschewed as they are not kosher animals—unlike [[Actinopterygii|finned-fish]] with scales.
* [[Kosher foods|Kosher diet]]: Food permissible under [[kashrut]], the set of [[Jewish]] dietary laws, is said to be kosher. Some foods and food combinations are non-kosher, and failure to prepare food in accordance with kashrut can make otherwise permissible foods non-Kosher.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.thespruce.com/introduction-to-kosher-food-2122519 |title=Kosher Food 101: the Basics of Which Foods Are Kosher |work=The Spruce |access-date=12 October 2017 |archive-date=12 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171012204528/https://www.thespruce.com/introduction-to-kosher-food-2122519 |url-status=live }}</ref>

* [[Word of Wisdom (Latter Day Saints)|Word of Wisdom]] diet: The name of a section of the [[Doctrine and Covenants]], a book of scripture accepted by members of [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]]. Dietary advice includes (1) wholesome plants "in the season thereof", (2) eating meat sparingly and only "in times of winter, or of cold, or famine", and (3) grain as the "staff of life".<ref>{{sourcetext|source=The Doctrine and Covenants|book=Doctrine and Covenants 89|verse=10–17}}</ref> Unlike injunctions against tobacco, alcohol, coffee and tea—compliance with meat-avoidance has always remained optional among [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] and emphasis on refraining from meat has largely been dropped.<ref name="Alexander">[[Thomas G.
