Become pescatarian

i am a oescatarian for a year now i am only 11 but i cant even imagine eating meat ever again! in my whole life i would have saved at least 100 animals!!!!:)

I want to modify my diet to reduce disease risk. I have been a devoted carnivore my whole life. I have always been a great cook (the one thing I’m comfortable boasting about) but am needing to completely re-tool my repertoire. Send tempeh recipes my way, I’m starting to like the stuff but need to learn more ways to use it.

I started to gain weight since last 4 months.Well,after saw such a dramatic changed to my body,i determine to reduce weight and decided to become a pescatarian.

I want to eat :
- less meat,rice,dairy ,oily,spicy food(maybe once a week).
- stop eating chicken as I am allergic as my easily gets itchy everytime i eat it.
-more fruit,veggie.

I have a friend who is a vegan and she’s talked a lot about her reasons. They kind of made me want to cut out meat from my diet, but the big push came I guess was when I started reading about meat on my own.
Really, the main thing I needed was to see the phrase “higher risk of cancer”.

My father died of cancer in the past year.

The reason I’m keeping fish in my diet is because I’ve heard that it’s one of the best things for you.

But my vegan friend also says that the oceans are over-fished so I’m kind of iffy about it, but I do love fish.
I’ve been trying to stay away from red meat in the past few weeks. The hardest thing for me is the fact that I can’t really help if my family eats meat every night.

I cut meat out of my diet in November after reading Skinny Bitch. I was so clueless about how animals were treated and never gave much thought to how that food arrived on my plate.
I am still eating fish and shellfish. But I feel so much better since cutting the meat out and drinking only organic milk. My digestive system is happy too! :) Try it…and read Skinny Bitch to motaviate yourself!

i am going to do this with my best friend for two reasons, i want to lose weight and i need to stop eating so much meat

I gave up all meat except fish 2 years ago, and have not looked back once. I don’t crave beef, pork, or chicken, in fact, the smell (and sometimes just the thought) of these is repulsive to me. I kept fish and shellfish in my diet to be sure I was getting the protein and omega oils I need, and also because they are not hard for me to digest, as meat is. I have as much or more energy than I ever did (have run 2 1/2 marathons since), experience fewer PMS symptoms, and have experienced increased mental clarity, possibly due to the absence of hormones and chemicals frome the meat. I try to buy only wild caught, both for ethical reasons and to reduce the chance of harmful substances such as mercury. I always find plenty to eat, whether shopping at the grocery store or eating out. My family is all-omnivore, so I often cook an alternate dish to what they are eating, but it’s worth it.

I used to eat all meat, then I stopped eating red meat, then went vegetarian, then went vegan, then went vegetarian, and now I’m pescatarian and very happy with this balance. It’s still tricky though, because I do have several ethical qualms with the way the fishing industry works so I try to watch which kinds of fish I eat.

If you’re looking to do this for ethical or environmental reasons, a good book to check out is Bottomfeeder by Taras Grescoe.

Well, I’m very new ti this new way of eating and I am sure that I can stick with it. I am swearing off of beef for good. I can’t take the beef in my life anymore.I can live with out chicken as long as I can have my lemon pepper talapia and steamed garlic califlower. I have been on the Master Cleanse for almost 9 days and I can’t wait till it is over. I feel and look absolulty amazing and I plan on maintaning a healthy lifestyle for as long as I live. Of course I am aware of the few bumps that I may encounter. But I am strong and I can do this. My body deserves it.I deserve it.

I’m veggie now. I’m getting my omega 3’s from flax, walnuts, and spirulina. It’s also a bit relieving about the fishing industry mess.
