Recipes and eating as a Pescatarian

sirrys

In case you did not know a Pescatarian is the practice of a vegetarian diet that includes seafood but not the flesh of other animals.

I was raised a vegetarian and them became a full on Kosher carnivore when I was a bodybuilder. Now I am going back to those roots but retain the option to eat fish. There are actually non-meat protein options in nature that are more loaded with protein than your typical steak and chicken. Juicing is a life saver in this process.

Starting this process and being a Pescatarian will be interesting. If you want to share vegetarian or vegan recipes let me know.
