Hungry Girl Today: 12.15.08
Spotted on Shelves...
Foster Farms Savory Servings, Turkey Tenderloins, Chicken Breast Fillets,
and Chicken Breast Tenders - WHOA is this line of seasoned poultry good! It
features lots of delicious marinades (and they don't add silly amounts of fat
or calories to your meat). A 4-oz. serving contains 110 - 130 calories, 1 -
1.5g fat, 2 - 7g carbs, 0g fiber, and 21 - 24g protein (POINTS® value 2 - 3*).
Our favorites are the Fire Roasted Chipotle chicken and the Island Teriyaki
turkey. Mmmmm!
Eggo Bake Shop Mini Muffin Tops - Oooooh, itty-bitty muffin tops that come
in Blueberry, Chocolate Chip, and Chocolate Chocolate Chip. CUUUUTE! You
get to eat a "set of 4", which is exciting. (Come on, FOUR muffin tops,
people?!) The set has 140 - 150 calories, 5g fat, 21 - 22g carbs, 0 - <1g
fiber, and 2 - 3g protein (POINTS® value 3*). But they're pretty much just
like regular muffins, only smaller -- no fiber or fancy vitamins like our
precious VitaMuffins (see below for more news on those).
Bacon Salt - We've mentioned this stuff before, but now it's actually getting
great distribution -- and (reminder!) IT IS FANTASTIC. As embarrassing as it
is, we are 100% hooked on it. It's bacon-flavored salt, it's vegetarian-
friendly, and it has no calories. AHHHHHHHHH! Find it at select markets and
online.
YAY... Bargains!
If you like food and saving money (two of our favorite things), read this

Money... The Great Weight Loss Motivator?!
A study recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association
has found that money can be an extremely powerful motivator when it
comes to losing weight. Three different groups were evaluated for this study.
One group's participants were eligible to win money via a daily lottery if they
achieved their goals. Members of another group could invest their own
money to be matched and returned to them only if they were successful. The
people in the third group simply attended monthly weigh-ins with no financial
rewards. The study basically found that the first two groups lost WAY more
weight than the group that received no financial incentive. You can read all
about the study here. Some employers and health insurance companies have
been trying out similar initiatives recently, in hopes of reducing healthcare
costs. Why not test this weight loss method with friends or co-workers? You
could all put up a little cash and figure out a system where people could win
money each week if they achieve their goals. Sounds like a GREAT thing to
do right after the 1st of the year. Let us know how it turns out...
The Buzz...

Flex programs. Welcome the Momentum program, a new plan that helps you
