But while you may be most familiar with a vegetarian or vegan diet, there's another option for those who want to eat more plant-based while still getting some animal protein: the pescatarian diet.
"A pescatarian diet is a vegetarian diet with the addition of fish and seafood," Rahaf Al Bochi, RDN, LD, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and owner of , told POPSUGAR."The focus is on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, plant-based proteins, and seafood. Some people choose to include eggs and dairy.", a pescatarian diet offers two important health benefits:"The pescatarian diet is high in fiber from the whole grains and vegetables, which helps support gut health and reduces LDL cholesterol levels associated with heart disease," Rahaf explained.
Pregnant women should also use caution."Pregnant women should avoid raw seafood and high mercury fish, such as swordfish, shark, and mackerel. Albacore tuna should be limited to six ounces per week for this population as well," she explained. That said, if you're looking to up your plant intake, it could be a great option for you."Anyone who would like to adopt a more whole, plant-based eating style can benefit," Rahaf said."The pescatarian diet can help you consume balanced, well-nourished meals."
