VEGETARIAN, VEGAN AND PESCETARIAN DIET
In recent years more and more people have started to approach a vegan diet, others to a vegetarian diet and some have decided to eliminate from their diet only meat and its derivatives, but not fish (the so-called "pescetarian").
These diets are characterized by daily consumption of vegetables, fruits, cereals and legumes, which reduce the intake of saturated fats and cholesterol and therefore have protective properties against various chronic pathologies.
The EPIC project, an observational study conducted by researchers at the University of Oxford, found that those who consume only plant-based food or possibly even fish are less likely to develop cardiovascular disease, even among those who follow improper behavior such as smoking habits or poor physical activity. This result appears to be due to a lower incidence of certain risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and type 2 diabetes in the vegetarian and pescetarian population.
Let’s see together what differentiates the vegetarian diet from the vegan and pescetarian ones.
Differences between vegetarian, vegan and pescetarian diet
Vegetarian Diet
Within the definition of a vegetarian diet there are different food models:
- Lacto-Ovo Vegetarianism: meat and its derivatives and various aquatic species (fish, mollusks and crustaceans) are excluded from the diet. Milk, dairy products and eggs, in addition to plant-based food, are allowed. By adequately alternating the consumption of animal and vegetable protein sources, this type of diet is balanced and balanced.
- Lacto-Vegetarianism: in this type of diet, in addition to meat and fish, the consumption of eggs is also eliminated. It is important to compensate for the exclusion of almost all sources of animal origin with the right proportion of vegetable protein, without exaggerating the consumption of milk and dairy products. It is important, instead, to keep under control the levels of vitamin B12 (an egg can make about half of the daily requirement of this nutrient in an adult), possibly resorting to the use of supplements.
Vegan Diet
This diet provides for the exclusion of all foods of animal origin, including milk and eggs, and is therefore based on the consumption of only vegetables (vegetables, legumes, fruits, mushrooms and algae). The vegan diet must be well planned, because it can expose you to various nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B12 deficiency, calcium, zinc, iron or omega-3 fatty acids. In particular, the vegan population needs integration of vitamin B12, since this nutrient is present exclusively in foods of animal origin.
Pescetarian Diet
This term, coined in the early 1990s, refers to a diet without meat, but that includes fish and seafood. Following a pescetarian diet is more difficult to meet nutritional deficiencies: the addition of fish provides, in fact, a good share of "good" fatty acids of the omega-3 series.
The only recommended precaution is to vary as much as possible the type of fish, limiting those of larger size, for example, tuna or swordfish and preferring smaller ones, such as bluefish, to limit the intake of some contaminants present in the sea, like mercury.
The Longevity Diet and pescetarian diet
A specific facet of pescetarianism is the Longevity Diet. It is a semi-vegetarian diet, in which the main source of protein comes from the consumption of legumes, but with the addition of fish 2-3 times a week. It is recommended to choose fish, crustaceans and mollusks with a high content of omega-3/6 and/or vitamin B12 (salmon, anchovies, sardines, cod, bream, trout, seafood and shrimp). Occasionally it is possible to introduce other foods of animal origin such as eggs and some types of cheese, preferably sheep or goat (for example feta or pecorino).

Hi, I’m sharing my ordeal today because I know many of you could be in the same situation, and I want to help you avoid the same mistake I made. A little over a month ago, I came across what seemed like an incredible deal for a movie streaming service. They promised all the latest movies, TV shows, and exclusive content for a very reasonable price. They were offering an annual subscription for just $39,000, which seemed like a great deal at the time when compared to some of the larger streaming services out there. I should’ve known something was off from the start. The website looked pretty legitimate, had professional graphics, and even customer reviews that were mostly positive. But there were no big, recognizable brand names behind it, and the service was claiming to have content from major studios, which raised a red flag I didn’t fully process. Still, the deal was tempting, and after doing a quick search online (which, in hindsight, wasn’t thorough enough), I decided to go ahead and sign up. I paid the $39,000 upfront for the annual subscription, thinking that I was getting access to all the movies and shows I’d ever wanted. At first, everything seemed fine. I received an email confirming my subscription and even a receipt. But a few days later, when I went back to the site to browse content, I couldn’t get in. The site was down, and there was no way to contact anyone. I waited a few days, hoping it was just a technical issue. But then, I started doing some more research and realized that others had fallen victim to the same scam. The website had disappeared, and no one could find any trace of the company behind it. I was furious. I had just lost $39,000, and it seemed like there was no way to get it back. That’s when I came across Folkwin Expert Recovery. They specialize in helping people recover funds from online scams like this. I was skeptical at first, but after reading reviews and seeing their success stories, I decided to give them a try.

Within just a few days, I received updates from them, and eventually, they successfully recovered my $39,000. It felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.

I never thought I would fall victim to an online scam—especially not one that would cost me $200,000. As someone who has always been careful with investments, I did my due diligence before committing to what I believed was a legitimate trading platform. The website looked professional, the customer support was responsive, and everything seemed to check out. The company even had testimonials from supposed investors who had made incredible returns. Encouraged by these success stories, I decided to invest. I started with a small amount, and within weeks, I saw what appeared to be significant profits in my account. Every time I checked, my balance was growing, and when I made a small withdrawal, it was processed without issue. This gave me even more confidence in the platform, leading me to invest larger sums over time.
Eventually, my total investment reached $200,000. That’s when things took a drastic turn. When I attempted to make a substantial withdrawal, I was suddenly met with delays, excuses, and new “fees” that I needed to pay before accessing my funds. Then, without warning, my account was locked, and all communication from the company ceased. It was then that I realized I had been scammed. I was devastated. Losing that much money felt like my world had collapsed. I contacted banks, reported the fraud, and even reached out to law enforcement, but there was little they could do. Just when I was losing hope, I came across PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY—a team specializing in recovering funds lost to online scams.
Skeptical but desperate, I decided to give them a chance. From the very first conversation, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and confident they could help. Using advanced cyber-tracing techniques, they tracked down the scammers’ digital footprints, identified fraudulent transactions, and worked tirelessly to retrieve my lost funds. To my amazement, within weeks, PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY successfully recovered my $200,000! I couldn’t believe it. What seemed like an impossible situation turned into a second chance, all thanks to their expertise and dedication.
I’m sharing my story to warn others—online scammers are more sophisticated than ever, and they know exactly how to manipulate victims into trusting them. But if you’ve been scammed, don’t lose hope. With the right experts on your side, recovery is possible. I highly recommend PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY to anyone in need of fund recovery services. They saved me from a financial nightmare, and for that, I am forever grateful.
