Sushi has come a long way and we don't just mean all the way from Japan. The word sushi means "sour tasting" because originally the Japanese use to ferment the fish and wrap it in soured fermenting rice. Preservation abilities dramatically improved and as time evolved sushi changed to what we order today in the Western world.
Sushi is a specially prepared rice accompanied by other ingredients which usually includes raw fish. Sushi is low in fat, and high in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
Shape magazine makes the following recommendations for the best and worst sushi for weight loss:
- go for salmon and tuna because they are low calorie, high in protein & omega-3s, and they are packed with vitamin D
- Wasabi is packed with antioxidants
- stay away from the fried rolls
- get steamed, grilled, or sashimi
- veggie rolls are the healthiest option
- brown rice is the better choice
- a little side of ginger to boost your immunities
- opt for the low sodium soy sauce - 25% less salt than regular
- use chop sticks because you will eat slower and fill up faster
- skip the covered in cream sauce options
- one roll, or six pieces is a proper serving size
