*Sigh* I Love sushi but have been very successful losing wait by doing low carbs. I'm not a fanatic, I allow myself treats- but I treated myself a little too much yesterday lol, so I need to do well today; I'm craving sushi but I'm pretty any sushi will ruin my low carb day. Any thoughts???

    Seared Ahi style tuna is the best! With wasabi and soy soy sauce for dipping.
    It is the only one I know without rice.
    I have been having that quite a bit lately. My brothers and I split 17 fresh tuna we caught in the Gulf Stream. Doesn't get fresher than that. :bigsmile:

    My local Kroger makes sushi with brown rice, so I've tried that on occasion (they make it on demand). It's pretty good and provides an alternative to white rice. I usually don't eat more than 12 small pieces anyway -- and when I do, it's a reward for eating good all week. I haven't noticed any bump or weight gain when I eat it. Now, if I've been really good, I'll go to my favorite sushi restaurant and annihilate a plate of Rock n' Roll sushi. :)

    But for now, sushi is off the menu. My wife is pregnant and can't have it, so I'm on a sympathy diet with her.

    I make my own "sushi wraps".
    Buy some seaweed sheets - aka nori wraps - they're about ten sheets for £1 at my local asian supermarket.
    Roll up with sushi ingredients and slice. Just leave out the rice! The key is to include some kind of moisture so the seaweed sheet is malleable.

    examples:
    smoked salmon and avocado
    tinned salmon, mayo and cucumber
    crabmeat, spring onion and iceberg lettuce
    chicken katsu, iceberg and mayo

    Bulk them up with lettuce or any shredded veggie instead of rice. Use some mayo, wasabi or tiny bit of soy along the edges to seal the wrap. Slice.

    Ask for brown rice in your sushi.

    Anything "naruto" is wrapped in cucumber instead of rice.. try that!! I LOVE it! Some sushi places also offer "low carb rolls".. one of my local favorites has one named exactly that- and it's full of delicious fresh fish and no rice. I would check out local menus online and see what each place has to offer!

    Edited to add: a lot of places will also sub out seaweed wrap for rice (usually for a small upcharge).

    Not necessarily terrible- yes tuna and salmon are "fatty" fish, but they offer good fats, with omega-3's and loads of health benefits to go with them. Avocado is also offers good fat- it's all about moderation. Now, if you're a spicy mayo fiend, you might be in a bit of trouble :-)

    All good for you. Salmon, tuna and avocado have good heart healthy oils in them. and yummy too. :bigsmile:
    Avocado mixed with wasabi on tuna or some nice smoked salmon. Good stuff.

    There is no difference in the amount of carbs in brown rice vs white rice.

    Fatty fish and avocado are both top "super foods" for health...Whatever gave you the idea they were "terrible"?

    Is brown rice low carb now? I've been using it to hit my carb goals.

    NO. Brown rice didn't all of the sudden become low carb...Are you serious?

    Salmon and avocado is probably one of the best rolls you can get. Spicy Tuna not so much...

    Thanks! My family loves sushi. I'm going to have to pay closer attention to the menus! I'm not sure I've ever seen "naruto" mentioned. Do you have to ask for this option?

    Sashimi=low carb. It's just raw fish.

    What reason does it need to be low carb? -_-

    Either way "Sushi" means vinegared rice. So... No?
