Answers:
hi and i've decided not to eat meat(e!.g!. chicken, beef, etc!.) but i still eat eggs, fish and dairy!. i didn't decide to stop [eating such 'heavy' meat] because i felt sorry for animals and what-not!. animals are meant to be killed and eaten; it's not a crime!. my primary reason pertains to esthetics and i wanted to become healthier!. the name for this diet is called pescetarianism!. how long has it been since you've stopped!? for me, it's only been 6months but i consider this as a life-time commitment!. some of the benefits i have gained were the difference in skin tone and texture, i feel physically lighter and cleaner, and much calmer!. my physical appearance has improved which i'd noticed after about 2 weeks!. it feels great and i'm glad that you have started as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As others have said, pescatarian!.
FYI:
vegan=no animal products whatsoever
dietary vegan=won't eat honey, eggs, fish, milk, etc, but will wear silk, wool, and/or leather
lacto- = will consume milk/products
ovo- = will eat eggs/products
pesca- = will consume fish/seafood
pollo- = will not eat chicken
place all these in front of vegetarian
when you get to the point of being a pesca-pollo-lacto-ovo vegetarian, it's simpler to say "I don't eat red meat"

There's also fruitarian=no root vegetables, which directly contradicts the fifth-level vegetarian who doesn't eat anything that casts a shadow (for those w/o a sense of humor, fruitarian is real, fifth-level is the simpson's joke)!.

Just so you know, there's also a combination of these!. I have relatives who follow the Jain diet, so they don't eat root vegetables/eggs, but consume milk, since they're Indian and cows are theoretically not mis-treated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The best thing you can say that won't confuse as many people is to say that you are a vegetarian that eats fish!. It's funny how many do actually! I'm a vegetarian (no fish) and people always ask me if I eat it!. It's more common than you would think!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

You decided not to eat meat yet you still eat fish!. Interesting!.
Fish = meat!.
You're an pescetarian otherwise known as an omnivore!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Fish is meat!. Sorry, there is no such thing as a vegetarian that eats fish!. Eliminate fish and you are a lacto-ovo vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i know a few people who identify as vegetarians but they still eat fish!. i don't think a die hard vegetarian would eat fish, but i don't know!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know people that just don't eat beef(they will eat chicken and pork)!. Kinda weird since we're from Montana!. I'm not sure if there is a word for you!. You are just someone who doesn't want to eat meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You eat anything you want just exercise every day and there is no special name for diet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
