What do pescatarians eat?
You’ve probably heard the expression, “you are what you eat.” It’s true! Food is our fuel and the food and drink that we consume determines the types of nutrients in our system and impact how well our mind and body are able to function. One of the most powerful tools that we have to transform our health is our diet. Eating the right foods and spices and avoiding the wrong ones could go a long way toward staving off everything from stomach trouble, to cancer and weight gain, say the experts at John Hopkins University.

The Posh Life Plan does not require you to eat seafood everyday. The diet is based on eating a variety of whole foods and plants. Set the intention to eat vegetables, fruits and whole grains first, then add the fish.
Government agencies from the U.S. to Australia provide guidelines that encourage everyone to eat fish twice a week for the numerous health benefits that it provides, which we will discuss in a separate section.

If you are inclined to eat fish on a daily basis make sure it’s the kind lowest in mercury and be sure to mix up the species. Try something new for each meal.
