Advice: considering a pescatarian diet
Hi! (22F) I have been strictly vegetarian for a couple of years now, and recently have been considering introducing a bit of fish in my diet. I got a diagnosis of anemia this year, and have been struggling with eating enough protein to achieve my goals in the gym, on top of other minor health issues. On top of that, I’m Argentinian, and a lot of outings are around food (specially asado) and every time I have a social event wth friends or family I have to comprise for a salad or something equally unappetizing. A lot of places here have barely any vegetarian options so maybe introducing fish might be better. I also think I miss the taste of fish a bit? Although I get kind of queasy thinking about it.
I’m also struggling because I don’t think any of this reasons are strong enough to make myself eat fish again. I don’t have big morals for vegetarianism but I am too emphatic sometimes, and it makes me feel bad to consume animals. I also know it has an environmental impact.
Can I get some advice from someone who has been a vegetarian for longer?
Pt. I did have iron and b12 supplements, although I’ve been told they are not the best to have.
Also! I’m not anemic anymore, but I don’t want to get it again.
