Last Words

All in all, when looking to lose body fat, you do not have to cut out your favorite foods. When we cut out everything and do not enjoy our favorite foods in moderation, the chances of binging and rebounding go up.

Therefore, it’s okay to stop labeling food good or bad. Food is just energy and providing yourself with the best foods for your particular body is the best approach.

With that being said, if sushi is something your taste buds truly enjoy, then there is no need to give it up. Even if your goal is to lose body fat and weight because there are plenty of low-calorie sushi options out there!
