Som dete fremgår av teksten er sushi ikke lavkarbo mat og bør ikke spises.....

Know Your Menu
Some of the most popular dishes on Japanese menus are:

•Miso soup: A clear, satisfying soup made from soybean paste and dashi broth, often incorporating a few cubes of tofu and spinach or a sprinkling of green onions as garnish

•Sushi: Different kinds of seafood and shellfish, either raw or cooked, and/or vegetables and sweetened omelet, served either on top of hand-formed ovals of steamed, vinegared rice or spread on a flat bed of rice and rolled inside sheets of nori (seaweed)
•Sashimi: Slices of fresh raw fish, varying in texture and flavor, served without rice
•Shabu-shabu: A fondue-like dish comprised of meat, vegetables and broth
•Ramen, udon, soba and somen: Noodles made from different flours (rice, wheat, buckwheat, etc.) and ranging in thickness from vermicelli-thin to thick and hearty
•Tempura: Batter-dipped and fried seafood or vegetables, served with a dipping sauce
•Gyoza: Fried dumplings known as pot stickers
•Yakitori: Skewers of chicken (other meats are also sometimes available) dipped or marinated in a sweet, soy sauce-based barbecue sauce and grilled
•Sukiyaki: A beef, noodle and vegetable one-dish meal in which ingredients are served in broth, then spooned into individual bowls and blended with daikon and ponzu
•Teriyaki: Broiled meats, seafood or tofu marinated in sweet teriyaki sauce

Tips
• Start your meal with a bowl of miso soup, which has only about 3 grams of carbohydrates per cup and is deliciously filling. If you are watching your sodium intake, skip the soup because miso, like soy sauce, is high in sodium.
• Although tofu is made from soybeans, it is high in protein and contains less than three Net Carbs per four ounces. (For more on Net Carbs, see The Skinny on Net Carbs.)
• Don’t be fooled by teriyaki sauce: It looks just like soy sauce, but is sweetened with either corn syrup or sugar.
• Sip plenty of ocha, or green tea, which offers proven health benefits. It contains antioxidant substances that help battle cell- and DNA-damaging free radicals, the initiators of many cancers. Its subtle flavor is best savored on its own, so skip the sugar.
