How To Stay Lean While Eating At A East Bay Japanese Restaurant
Posted by Christian Aguirre on Wed, Sep 01, 2010 @ 05:00 PM
One of our favorite favorite things to do on the weekends is to go out to Japanese. It is one of those kinds of foods that is relatively healthy.

You can pretty much eat anything on the menu, just stay away from the fried battered food, the white rice, and avoid smothering your plate with soy sauce.
In this video we ate out a local east bay Japanese restaurant that we go to every weekend. We love the atmosphere, the staff, and most importantly the food.
Jenn describes what kind of Japanese food you can have if your on a weight loss plan. The best kind of food is to eat sashimi or chicken without the teriyaki sauce.
Sashimi is raw fish and is high in protein and has the good omega -3 fatty acids that your body needs to promote weight loss. Most sashimi is good, but watch out for the salmon. Salmon has a higher ratio of fat than the other kinds of fish.

If you decide to have sushi rolls, there are plenty of east bay japanese restaurants that offer brown rice rolls. I even seen sushi rolls wrapped up in cucumber which is really good.
Now if your not into fish that's o.k. Your next source of protein is chicken or beef. If you decide to eat the standard bento box, ask the waiter to have the teriyaki sauce on the side.

So the next time you go out to your local east bay Japanese restaurant make sure you:
- Keep the teriyaki sauce on the side
- Have sashimi instead of sushi rolls (no white rice, but if you have to make sure the rolls are wrapped with brown rice)
- Don't put any soy sauce on your food because of the high sodium.
- No miso soup, too much sodium
Well I hope you liked the video and found it informative. We would love to hear your questions and comments at the bottom
