What is Sushi?
Sushi (or Sushi-Sashimi),
along with Tempura and Teriyaki is a type of classic Japanese cooking.
Sushi is a staple rice dish of Japanese cuisine, consisting of cooked
rice flavored with vinegar and a variety of vegetable, egg, or raw seafood
garnishes - usually served cold. Nigiri-Sushi is a handmade oblong
of rice topped with sliced raw fish and a dab of Wasabi, green
horseradish paste. Maki-Sushi is a sheet of Nori (seaweed)
which is spread with rice plus seafood or vegetables and garnish. The
Maki-Sushi is then rolled into a cylinder and sliced. Chirashi-Sushi
is a customized, homemade type of Sushi. The ingredients are not formed
into shapes - instead, the vinegared rice is strewn with toppings and
garnish. Vinegar-pickled ginger root (Sushoga) is a traditional
palate-clearing accompaniment to Sushi.

Weight Loss and Diet Nutrition
Losing weight is not simply
a matter of calorie-counting, it's also a matter of good diet nutrition.
Because unless we maintain good diet nutrition and a healthy intake of
protein, carbs, fat, vitamins, minerals and other micro-nutrients, we
won't lose weight efficiently. The best diet nutrition for healthy weight
reduction comes from a balanced calorie-controlled diet that includes
foods from all food groups.
