If you aren't familiar with the pescatarian diet, it's one where you eat mainly plant-based vegetarian foods but also eat fish and seafood. You don't eat other types of meat like beef, chicken or pork. The diet is healthy - like the Mediterranean diet - because you get lots of vitamins from vegetables, grains, and dairy but also an added protein boost and healthy fats - like omega 3 fatty acids- from fish and seafood. A pescatarian diet is rich in vegetables and plants and adds seafood or fish a few times a week. There are so many health benefits to this diet and it's easier to follow than some diets like vegan because it's not as restrictive.

I'm an expert in this diet because I've been a pescatarian for over 20 years, way before alternative diets were even popular!
