Still though, you're not a vegetarian, and as such shouldn't call yourself one. If people are ignorant to the term pescatarian it's because of situations like this.
Vegan diets aren't super healthy though. People should eat more veg, that's for sure but vegans often have it the other way, because they're eating nothing but plant based food, they are lacking in nutrition in other areas. Vegan diets aren't automatically "super healthy" because they're vegan or are eating nothing but veg, a vegan diet may be better than a typical meat eater's diet simply because the vast majority of meat eaters are not health conscious and don't care what they eat. They consider microwave ready meals to be good eating.
If you compare a health conscious meat eater, who follows a good diet and is as meticulous about what they eat as a vegan, to a vegan, the vegan will be the one lacking in health 9 times out of 10.
Yep, You can't just jump on bandwagon and say I'm only going to eat veg now. Need to know what areas you may be lacking certain things and where to get them from. Requires a LOT of research to do right tbh if it's something that someone wants to consider doing.
I also think it may work for a while depending on personal goals, then also later on down the line switch it up.
I toyed with the idea of vegan but I realised it's incredibly strict. Things such as eggs etc are just such a great source of extra nutrients + I want to start using whey protein again to supplement training and obviously you can't even touch that.
