Mercedes driver, Hamilton said he had changed his habits after watching a documentary about the environmental impact of the meat industry.
"It is something I have been going towards anyway. I stopped eating red meat two years ago," he told the BBC.
"This year I stopped eating chicken and then kind of went back to it and now I've stopped again. So I have generally been pescatarian for the majority of the year and then I cut out fish too."
He added: "I have actually eaten plant-based food for the last two days and it has been amazing. So far, I don't feel as if I have been missing out. I don't know how easy it is going to be when I get home. That is going to be a real test."
