Plant-based diets are more popular than ever, and for good reason.
Research shows that people who eat an abundance of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and whole grains tend to live longer and stay healthier than those who eat little.
You probably know this and, understandably, are considering a major overhaul to your diet, but aren’t wholly sold on the idea of cutting out animal products entirely.
How are you supposed to get enough protein?
Will you be able to cover all of your nutritional bases with plants alone?
Will you actually enjoy your meal plans?
Well, the short answer to each of those questions is “yes,” but it’s not necessarily easy because certain animal foods make it much easier to improve your body composition and stay healthy.
That’s why more and more people are turning to “modified” vegetarian diets like the pescatarian diet, which is simply a vegetarian diet that includes seafood.
Some pescatarians also eat eggs and dairy, as well, which is technically known as “lacto-ovo-pescatarianism.”
As you’ll see, pescatarian diets require a little more fine-tuning than regular omnivorous diets, but if you understand and address the downsides and limitations, you’ll have no problem using the pescatarian diet to build a lean, healthy, athletic body you can be proud of.
By the end of this podcast, you’re going to understand . . .
- What the pescatarian diet is
- Its pros and cons
- The most common muscle-building mistakes pescatarians make
- How to use the pescatarian diet to maximize muscle growth, fat loss, and strength gains
- What foods to eat on a pescatarian diet plan
- And more!
Let’s start by defining exactly what a pescatarian diet is.
