Hungry Girl 200 Calorie Cookbook: Cool or Not?
The title debuting on the May 3 New York Times best-seller list isn't a work of thought-provoking literature, it's a new cookbook called Hungry Girl 200 Under 200: 200 Recipes Under 200 Calories ($12). The collection, created by Lisa Lillien of Hungry-Girl.com, creatively combines mostly processed foods that yield low-calorie servings for snacking.
While Hungry Girl is wildly popular, she does have her critics.
Low in Calorie or Low in Cost?
It is commonly known that high-calorie foods tend to cost less than lower-calorie items at the grocery store.
If you look at canned soup, meat, pasta and etc., the items that are better for you are almost always more expensive (aside from fruits and veggies). When faced with choosing between two items, one low calorie and the other low cost, I typically chose the one low in calories — though it is often a difficult decision to make when looking at my food budget.

Soups On Weight Loss
Good news for soup lovers...
A new study out of Penn State has found that when served a low calorie soup (made of chicken broth, broccoli, potato, cauliflower, carrots and butter) and entree, diners consumed 20 percent fewer calories compared to when they did not have soup.
If you're thinking, "I've got to get my hands on that soup recipe."
Lite'N It Up: Tuna Salad Redo
Mayonnaise is considered one of those truly bad for you foods. There's about 100 calories in a tablespoon of what might just be America's favorite condiment.
With this in mind how are you going to satisfy your tuna fish fix?
LesserEvil KettleCorn, Yummy and Low-Cal
My good friend Yum recently paid a visit to the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco and she brought me some great low calorie products to try and pass on the cream of the crop to you.
I must say that in many cases I was less than thrilled with the tastelessness of this year's low calories buzz. One product that exceeded my expectations was LesserEvil KettleCorn (depending on where you shop, they sell for a little over $1.00 per bag).
Cocktail Breakdown
Holidays are a time to let loose and relax with friends. And with New Year's Eve coming up, most people are bound to be celebrating with a drink in their hand.
You may not know it, but many drinks can be a fattening fright.
Low Fat Doesn't Mean Low Cal
Recent studies suggest that we all eat more when we are eating food labeled low fat. Yikes!
When fat is taken out of a food it is usually replaced with sugar, and sugar is not low in calories (or carbs for that matter).
Purely Good for You
Sometimes, we all need a little extra oomph when it comes to our fruit intake.
Pure Fruit Technologies has created exotic juice supplements that are extremely good for you! With flavors like Mango-Xan Antioxidant Recovery Formula, Seabuck-7 Rejuvenation Formula, Goji-Zen Longevity Formula and Gac-Chi Heart & Vision Formula, it's hard to believe that they would actually taste good.
