Labels for different kinds of diets; confused

A semi-vegetarian or flexitarian diet is one that is plant-based with the occasional inclusion of meat products. In 2003, the American Dialect Society voted flexitarian as the year's most useful word and defined it as "a vegetarian who occasionally eats meat".

Difference between similar terms

Vegetarianism is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat.

Pollotarian: someone who eats chicken or other poultry, but not meat from mammals.

Pescetarian: someone who eats fish or other seafood, but not poultry or meat from mammals. The macrobiotic diet is plant-based, and may or may not include the occasional addition of fish or other seafood.

Pollo-pescetarian: someone who eats poultry, seafood, and no other meat. In other words, someone who eats white meat only. This word is a combination of "pollotarian" and "pescetarian", it is also written as "pesce-pollotarian". Quote from Wikipedia.
