I figure that because I am lucky enough to love sushi (and all the other vegetarian and fish type Japanese food) as a favourite food AND it’s healthy, why not eat lots of it.

I’m not going to eat just sushi obviously, but I think if I stick to sushi, miso, and the individual stuff that’s in sushi most of the time, I should be set. I’m going to allow myself a couple of cheat meals each week so I can still go out with friends and eat with the boy. I’ll still eat my roast veges (including potatoes but not including the olive oil), my morning cereal with low fat milk, pretzels (high in sodium but low in fat, sorts the cravings out), and a fat slice of home made bread every couple of days. It’s more about making a healthier choice than a sweet muffin and cheese filled panini for lunch every second day.
I started today with lunch from my favourite Midland Sushi, including four pieces of ‘crack sushi’ (aka crab sushi, we are all sure it must have crack in it to be so addictive, they may just add MSG to the surimi mayo mix though).

I don’t intend to become obsessive about this ‘diet’, I’m going to try it out for a couple of weeks and tweak it as I go to see what works.
I just loaned ‘Japanese women don’t get old or fat’ from the library as well to help me out :D

Wish me luck. I’ll keep you updated.
