I really love this Japanese Cuisine- California Maki Roll. The taste… the way of eating it… with the chopsticks… perfect! Whew~
The first time I taste it was the time I met this friend of mine, who’s the nephew of “I Love Sushi” owner. He even taught me how to make it. ( :-) I still have the knife and the bamboo rolling map to roll up California Maki Roll. For remembrance! Hehehe….) Anyways, I’d love to make some soon! Want some?

1. Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Skipping meals can set you up for
bingeing. Studies show that people who spread their food intake throughout the
day eat fewer calories.
2. Pack snacks. Whether you're at the mall, in the car, or at work, keep
yourself armed with healthy snacks to help you resist fat-and-calorie-laden
temptations from vending machines and fast-food joints.
3. Team up. Enlisting the help of a partner or friend can boost your motivation and help you stay on track.
4. Start writing. Keeping a food or exercise log not only helps chart your progress, but it's also a great way to spot minor slips in your routine before they become major problems.
5. Compliment yourself. Treat you as you treat those you love. Focus on your successes, not failures—and give yourself a pat on the back each day.
6. Get moving. Whether you walk, run, bike, or swim, aerobic exercise is key to weight loss success. Work up to doing at least 45 minutes, 5 or more days a week.
7. Be a little selfish. You need to make time for yourself if you want to achieve your goal.
8. Have two helpings. Filling your plate with two kinds of vegetables, not just one, ups your nutritional intake and leaves less room on your plate for fatty foods.
9. Take one bite at a time. "Mindful eating," which involves concentrating on taste and sensation to make each mouthful an event, maximizes your food satisfaction and minimizes the odds of overeating.
10. Lift weights. Resistance training builds muscles, which boost the number of calories that your body burns throughout the day—making weight loss easier. Aim for two or three workouts a week.
