0:14.9 so people ask me all the time about my lifestyle at the pescetarian and one of the first things that I tell them is that I am NOT a health care provider or

0:23.1 a physician or a nutritionist I'm only providing information based on my lifestyle and my experience as a pescetarian so I became a pescetarian

0:32.9 about 14 years ago and it was a result of a meeting that I had with my nutritionist so for a while I wasn't feeling really well I usually feel

0:42.6 really great and then for about period of six to eight months I started to feel a little bit slow and a little bit sluggish and I increased my exercise i

0:50.1 increased my fruits and vegetables but nothing was really working so I saw nutritionist and if I remember correctly we started off with me having to do some

0:59.1 journaling about my diet what I was eating every day how much exercise i was taking how much water how much caffeine
that sort of thing and then that led to

1:07.2 sort of a stripping of my usual routine so we started eliminating things from my diet and we eliminated so much that i
was basically reduced to eating broth

1:16.2 and certain fruits certain vegetables herbal tea that sort of thing once that period was over we started reintroducing things to my diet and after a really

1:26.2 long period of time we discovered that the pescetarian lifestyle was really what made me feel the most balanced and
made me feel the best so after i left my

1:35.8 doctor's office i was kind of like okay now what I can eat seafood and vegetables and that sort of thing but how do I really incorporate this into my

1:44.0 life and what does it all mean so I really spent the first eight to 12 months figuring out what my life as a pescetarian was and at the time I didn't

1:55.0 even have the word pescetarian I was just you know I ate fish when someone asked me what my specific lifestyle was I would say oh vegetables and I would

2:02.5 eat fish so what I do now is call myself a pescetarian and I describe that as a vegetarian who supplements their diet with seafood it's one of the easiest

2:13.8 explanations for the lifestyle and really my diet my biggest adventure with this pescetarian lifestyle was discovering new species of fish and new

2:22.7 recipes for the species that I was already familiar with shrimp and catfish and perch and things like that I grew up with that stuff so I

2:30.2 knew how to prepare it but after that you know then what because it can get pretty boring if you're only sticking with the same three or four kinds of

2:38.5 fish so that really led to a journey into discovering recipes from other cultures you know how did the Portuguese prepare fish how did the Brazilians what

2:49.2 do they do in Mexico China so that just led to this whole new world of recipes and experimentation and learning how to put really great meals together some

2:58.6 involving seafood and some not involving seafood and that was really the most fun so people ask me all the time was it really hard transitioning over to being

3:08.6 a pescetarian and the answer is no I mean it had its challenges and sometimes it was an adventure but I was motivated I was excited about it and I knew that

3:17.4 ultimately would make me feel better so hard is not the word that I would use I would use the word challenging and I would use the word adventure to describe

3:24.4 my journey into being a pescetarian I you know I settled into being a pescetarian really comfortably probably a year three I you know at that point I

3:34.8 kind of knew my favorite recipes I knew my patterns for what I was going to eat during what time of day you know I knew
my favorite seafood I knew my favorite

3:43.2 stores in probably about three years it took me to go okay this is this is it I love it and let's go so I don't eat seafood every day and that has to do

3:54.5 with the definition that I provided you with earlier my definition of a pescetarian is a vegetarian who supplements their diet with seafood so I

4:01.4 probably eat seafood three or four days a week but definitely not at every meal and definitely not every day so I have multi vitamins but I don't take them

4:10.5 every day you know one of my goals is to get my nutrition through my diet and I do that for the most part on weeks or days
