Hi! I am new to/transitioning to a PB lifestyle for the health of it. I am still learning the ins and outs and basically at this point am introducing more and more PB foods and eating less and less meat and dairy. I have made some other positive changes such as cutting out as much processed food as I can, eliminating artificial sweeteners, and reducing sugar. I have a long way to go but am feeling great about the changes I've made thus far! My question is about sushi -- not the ones with fish but the all-vegetable varieties. Is sushi an acceptable food?

I'm new to plant based too. Things seem to be a bit slow on this group, I've only joined to find a few people doing the same approach.
I would have thought that a whole food sushi is fine. Brown rice and veggies wraps in nori has to be good for you!0 -

Do you plan to buy or make your own?
Be careful with the sushi rice. It’s typical mixed with rice wine vinegar to get that classic flavor, which adds a small amount of sugar (not sure how much you are trying to cut, but rice vinegar doesn’t have a lot). Restaurant sushi is rarely, if ever, made with brown rice. I’ve only seen that at chain grocery stores.
Plant-based sushi sounds like it could be a good fit for your goals, though!
