Answer
Hi Kaydee,

Sushi is low in fat & calories but there are other foods that are also low in fat & calories & easy to prepare. I even encourage people to combine Asian foods with American (western) foods for convenience.

I recommend people to eat rice as their staple food because steamed rice is high in water content (70% of the content is just water), good carb and resistant starch. Resistant starch "resists" digestion, thus it will keep you full but it will end up in the restroom. What the stomach can't digest, the stomach can't absorb the calories. 1 gram of regular carb gives you 4 calories while 1 gram of resistant starch gives you anywhere between 0-3 calories.

If you eat rice with vegetable soup, you will lose weight easily because you will stay full with less calories. Also eating rice increases the serotonin (happy/feel good hormone) level in our brain & helps us control our cravings.
Try this vegetable soup:

Again, there are other foods that are delicious, filling & low in calorie content. If you truly want to lose weight & stay slim for good, get the book, read it a couple of times (it's an easy read with pictures to illustrate my point) & most importantly TAKE ACTION.

If you continue to build the slimming habits described in my book, you can easily lose about 10 lbs/month or more than 100 lbs/year. I would love to see your picture!
