<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br>
<br>Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>I was wondering if you could help me with a meal makeover. It is actually 
<br>supposed to be an appetizer, but my husband and I eat it as a meal on the 
<br>night our favorite TV shows are on. We have this once a week! It's basically 
<br>1 small jar of queso dip and 1 lb. of hamburger meat with Tostitos Scoops to 
<br>dip. I've been using ground turkey meat instead of ground beef, so the main 
<br>problems now are the cheese and the Scoops. We need some alternatives 
<br>for our favorite dinner... please help! Thanks in advance for any 
<br>suggestions. :)
<br>
<br>HG-ify My Meal  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear HG-ify My Meal, 
<br>
<br>YUM! There are a few easy ways to lighten up your Mexican fiesta of a 
<br>dinner. You're on the right track with turkey, but pay attention to the type. 
<br>Regular ground turkey can actually have more fat and calories than lean 
<br>beef! But extra-lean ground turkey can be dry and dull. So try turkey that's 
<br>lean (not extra-lean) -- about 93% fat-free. Butterball and Jennie-O both 
<br>make good ones. Frozen ground-beef-style soy crumbles -- like the kinds by 
<br>Boca and Morningstar Farms -- also work GREAT in dishes like this and save 
<br>even more calories and fat. Next, swap your fatty nacho cheese dip with 
<br>HG's Nacho-rific Cheese Sauce. Our sauce is made with a magical blend of 
<br>light and fat-free cheeses, and it is SO good. Finally, make the switch from 
<br>Scoops to Baked Scoops -- or just use Guiltless Gourmet Tortilla Chips. If 
<br>you make your meals with half a bag of those Morningstar Farms crumbles 
<br>(you REALLY don't need that entire pound of meat you've been using), a 
<br>batch of our sauce, and 2 servings of Baked Scoops, you'll have two dinners 
<br>with around 370 calories, 9.5g fat, 34g carbs, 6g fiber, and 36g protein 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 7*) each. With 1/2 lb. lean turkey instead of the crumbles, 
<br>you're looking at around 410 calories, 14g fat, 26g carbs, 2g fiber, and 44g 
<br>protein (POINTS&reg; value 9*) per meal. Either way you'll shave a TON of fat 
<br>from your dinner. BTW, your weekly TV night meal sounds really delicious. 
<br>Can I come over and watch American Idol with you guys?
<br>

<br>HG, 
<br>
<br>I was doing really great diet-wise at the start of the year, but I have been 
<br>slipping lately. I find myself giving up and promising to be good the following 
<br>day, then the following week, etc. But it's been hard to get back on track. 
<br>Any tips for me? PLEASE HELP!
<br>
<br>Off the Wagon  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Off the Wagon,
<br>
<br>This happens every year in February to lots of people. It's easy to slip back 
<br>into your old ways, but don't beat yourself up over it. The single best piece of 
<br>advice I can give you is to get out of that "on a diet/off a diet" mind set. 
<br>Don't think of yourself as being on some sort of a strict plan. If you do that 
<br>and slip up, you'll be more likely to just toss your "diet" out the window until 
<br>you are ready to fully commit again. Instead, take one day at a time, one 
<br>MEAL at a time, even one SNACK at a time. That approach will set you up for 
<br>success! No more of that "I'll start a diet on Monday" stuff. Come on! Other 
<br>little tips? Drink a lot of water. Don't wait until you are STARVING to eat -- 
<br>that will cause you to eat more. So no meal-skipping! Also, always keep 
<br>emergency snacks on hand. Speaking of emergency snacks, don't miss next 
<br>Monday's email -- we'll be launching our latest video short, and it's ALL about 
<br>emergency snacks! For lots more tips on how to stay on track, check out 
<br>our resolutions email from January. Good luck!!!

<br>CHEW ON THIS:
<br>Today, February 11th, is Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day. Spilling milk isn't 
<br>worth crying over, but wasting even one drop of Unsweetened Vanilla 
<br>Almond Breeze may actually be worth shedding a tear or two.
