Going Laco/Ovo/ Pescovegetarian for the Most Part:
In high school I studied Physical Therapy and Health Aide along with that came Nutrition as well. Fast-forward 3 years after high school and I thought I would never be back to studying anything that had to do with the human body after I had a few different jobs in the medical field. I just thought it wasn’t right for me. I no longer enjoyed working in the medical field due to the amount of people that did not care about themselves.
Now I have studied nutrition all over again. After refreshing myself about nutrition and the human body both my husband and I decided to become, for the most part, Pescovegetarian. For those who do not know there are different type of vegetarians. I will list them below.
Vegan – True vegetarian, all plant based
Lacto/ovo-vegetarian – allow dairy and eggs in plant-based diet
Pescovegetarian – allows aquatic animal protein
Fruitarians – allow fruits and nuts only
The problem with going full on vegan is many vegans tend to lack proper doses of vitamins that are essential to the human body. For example, B12 is a major vitamin that comes from animal protein. Along with that are concerns for iron as well as fatty acids from fish. Fruitarians tend to lack the most nutrients which leads to deficiencies.
For the most part I stick with basically only aquatic protein, however, I will eat *some* meat maybe once or twice a week, or when I go out to eat. However, when I go out to eat I usually get seafood, unless its tacos.
As a result of going Pescovegetarian I decided I would share
