The doctor told my dad to avoid oil and sugar, should we still eat out for Father’s Day?

Sushi is fattening, I gained 20 pounds in one year from eating sushi in my early 20s.

If you don't add rice, sushi is actually almost pure protein and fine for a ketogenic diet. As a diabetic I'm well versed in what will and won't spike blood glucose and cause weight gain.

Oils like olive, avocado and other cold pressed oils are fine for most people on a low oil diet, as are pure animal fats like suet. The oils to avoid are highly processed oils like corn, sunflower, and vegetable oils where the oil is extracted by heating processes.

Sugar isn't healthy for anyone. Small amounts of raw honey, however, can be beneficial as it contains antibiotic, antifungal and antiviral properties if it's not irradiated and cold harvested.

Refined sugar is basically poison for the endocrine system in any quantities over time.

Yes. Just don't eat oil and sugar. I expect sushi would be fine.

Absolutely, you can still celebrate Father's Day with a nice meal out! It's all about making smart choices. Sushi got a bit of a bad rep because of the options with fried tempura, creamy sauces, or those sneaky mayo-based toppings. But not all sushi is created equal. You can opt for sashimi, nigiri, or maki rolls with simpler fillings like fish, rice, and veggies. Just steer clear of the heavier, fried stuff or sugary sauces. Most restaurants, especially for Japanese cuisine, offer a variety of dishes that cater to healthier diets. Plus, it's all about balance and moderation. So, go ahead, celebrate your dad with a thoughtful meal that suits his health needs. And hey, maybe throw in some green tea for good measure. It's not just about the food; it's the togetherness that counts. 🍣💚
