At a glance
Go-to breakfast: Smoked salmon and avocado.
Quick answers
Nope. Pescetarian dieters needn’t avoid saturated fat altogether, but their best bets are plant sources, like avocado, that pair saturated fat with healthier monounsaturated fats.
Not in the traditional sense. Pescetarians are more likely to increase their risk for heart disease when eating a higher saturated fat diet. A plant based ketogenic diet that is very high in monounsaturated fats could be a keto option for Pescetarians. Question becomes: how much do you like macadamia nuts and olive oil?
No.
Yes, please. Pescetarians aren’t likely to have issues with histamine. Collagen, kombucha and sauerkraut are all possibilities.
Refined grains, especially products with added sugar, oils and preservatives, aren’t healthy for anyone as a staple, but especially Pescetarians who are at a disadvantage in dealing with the spikes in blood sugar from these processed foods.
Biggest challenge
Steering diet towards lower carb while still choosing plenty of the “right,” fiber rich carbs can be a tightrope. Pescetarians are tasked with the somewhat unique challenge of going low carb without resorting to bacon and butter at every meal.
Closest relative
Not quite you? The nearest type is Pegan. The Pescetarian diet, while needing to strictly avoid dairy and sugar, is a little less restrictive than the Pegan diet because Pescetarians have a normal histamine score.
