There are various factors which have lead to the ever-increasing excess weight of the American citizenry. Jobs are significantly less physically demanding. Hobbies are significantly less physically demanding. Less active entertainment is very alluring, and calorie rich refined foods are always offered.

As a consequence, most adults, at some point or another, tackle issues of weight loss, nutritional value, and overall health. It is actually no wonder that various and sundry diet plans have grown to be a component of pop culture. The Miami Beach Diet is famous, and who has not discovered a low carb weight loss program? There is even a cookie diet program.

With our country's body fat problem so interwoven with our culture, perhaps it's a good idea to look to other cultures that do not exhibit these problems. It would not be advisable to look for answers in agrarian nations. Certainly, reworking our existing economy around weight-loss and health is just not likely. So, let's consider other nations with similar economies to ours.

Why not consider Japan? The small island nation is unquestionably a high tech, service oriented economy just like our own. Although, aside from the Sumo Wrestler, the Japanese are not thought of as dealing with a weight issue.

Let us start by looking at the quintessential Japanese food: Sushi. Is sushi healthy? Sushi consists of small servings of rice (carbohydrates) and fish. Fish is nearly pure protein. Even though some fish is fatty, most fish isn't. Low fat fish includes tuna, albacore, halibut, red-snapper, and shellfish.

However, some sushi can be fattening. Steer clear of rolls with mayonnaise or other ingredients that include saturated fat, including Philadelphia rolls or tempura rolls. Stick with the straight forward, traditional rolls comprised of rice and fish. The smaller the volume of rice, the better.

Could sushi be the secret to Japanese weight control? The food balances reasonable carbohydrates along with a low-fat, high protein fish. Undoubtedly, there are various other variables, however eating sushi certainly can't hurt.
