To lose some weight (maybe I’m about 10-15lbs overweight now), I’ve gone on a fish diet. It’s not really a strict regimen of fish-only meals, but for a few days now I’ve been avoiding meat. The reason? To avoid fat and cholesterol intake. And since fish is so abundant in my locale, it’s not a very difficult diet to follow.
Fish meat has high protein content, and it’s rich in iodine, and it’s arguably a healthy option to pork or beef. Chicken? I’ve never really been a fan of chicken dishes, so it’s not a hard thing for me to give up. Besides, chicken skin and the dark meat of fowl are crazy loaded with cholesterol!
I’m going to stick to this fish diet for a few more weeks and see what effects it will have on my body.

I want to share my experience — I tried a tofu diet and it worked great. Like your fish diet, it’s not really a tofu-only meal. Tofu is high on protein. Another great thing about tofu is that it’s low on calories. Low calories - high protein, what more can we ask for? Still not convinced? How about low-fat and cholesteroal free?
