    Stay away from anything WHITE. White stuff= high starch content so that means LOTS OF CARBS. You can eat sushi, but pull the fish out, put a little bit of soy on it...wrap it up on some leafy salad (because those are at the buffet) and eat it that way. Also, lots of buffets have a veggie and salad bar with many different types of dressings. Sushi is a good replacement for meat,but if you must, award yourself with ONE piece of that horrible-but-delicious chicken they have doused in Chinese sauces (like empress chicken, or brocolli and chicken.) Stick to sea food as well...crab legs ect....youll be ok. Drink hot tea, good for digestion, and eat ginger with your sushimi.

    Have fun! :) xx

    Calories is a big subject when it comes to weight loss. We need to know 3 definitions: the amount of calories in our food, the amount of calories a certain physical action expends every 60 minutes, and finally our own personal daily allowance of calories. The sole diet that clearly showed results for me was green tea, it can be checked out in the resource box below, they have a small number of free trials remaining, it has been highlighted in Fox News and CNN. I melted away twenty five pounds, it clearly does work!

    i hear ya, Indian buffets are the way to go, and if u have access to a THAI buffets thats pretty rad. My say is that, if you are aware of where the tips go in the restaurant (whether to tips go to the owner, or the waiters/waitresses), act upon your discretion. At indian buffets where i know the servers work on hourly basis with no tips, i usually give them no tip, or slip $3 to them secretely, so they get the tip. Cheers

    most foods in the buffet are fried and greasy. Go for things that arent dripping with grease and lots of veggies♥
