A Pescatarian Diet Plan

A Pescatarian Diet Plan

A pescetarian diet is often seen as a transition toward becoming a vegetarian. It includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, legumes and beans but excludes the meat except for fish and mollusks. Dairy products and eggs are optional.

Objections

    According to the U.K. Vegetarian Society, fish is not acceptable within a vegetarian diet. They justify this stance on the basis that fish feel pain, ocean stocks are dwindling, which threatens other wildlife dependent upon fish for food, and fishing is wasteful, as an estimated 23 percent of catches are thrown back dead.

Health Benefits

    A pescetarian diet is similar to a healthy Mediterranean diet. One advantage over a traditional vegetarian diet is greater choice on restaurant menus. Pescetarian diets are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, iron and vitamin D.

Sample Diet

    Fish is a good source of Omega fatty acids.

    Assuming dairy products are included, then breakfast might include fruit juice and high fiber cereal with skimmed milk. Lunch could be a mixed salad with yogurt dressing, and for the evening meal, grilled salmon steak accompanied by vegetables and rice. For snacks, mixed nuts and seeds, fresh fruit or oatcakes would be options.
