<br><br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br><br>
<br><br>I can tell that you LOVE ice cream! I see you often use Breyers Double 
<br><br>Churn Free in recipes, but you also write about Dreyer's/Edy's Slow Churned 
<br><br>Light a lot. Which one do you like more? Any other ice cream picks or advice 
<br><br>for me?
<br><br>
<br><br>Ice Cream Obsessed
<br><br>	
<br><br>	
<br><br>
<br><br>Dear Ice Cream Obsessed,
<br><br>
<br><br>I have A LOT of opinions about ice cream. For starters, Breyers Double 
<br><br>Churn Free is great if you want super-creamy ice cream that's fat-free and 
<br><br>pretty low in calories -- it's great for dessert recipes, especially blended 
<br><br>shakes. But if you're looking for the BEST-TASTING light ice cream to enjoy 
<br><br>scooped out of a "tub" or carton, definitely go for Dreyer's/Edy's Slow 
<br><br>Churned. My favorite flavors are Take The Cake and Caramel Delight, but 
<br><br>honestly, there are a BAZILLION different kinds and they are all 
<br><br>INCREDIBLE, so the choice is yours. The only issue I have with those is that 
<br><br>it's a little hard to stick with one serving. If you have the same problem when 
<br><br>left alone with a multi-serving container, stick with pre-portioned, single-
<br><br>serving frozen treats. There are some "snack size" cartons of light ice cream 
<br><br>out there, like the new ones from Dreyer's/Edy's, but just read labels on 
<br><br>those carefully -- they often have more than the typical half-cup serving. The 
<br><br>Skinny Cow makes a lot of great single-serving treats (Truffle Bars, 
<br><br>Sandwiches, Fudge Bars, etc.), as does Weight Watchers (too many to 
<br><br>mention, but the new-ish Candy Bar Ice Cream Bars are AMAZING). If you 
<br><br>like to use LOTS of ice cream in smoothies, shakes, and other blended 
<br><br>drinks, check out a product called Arctic Zero, which has a tiny fraction of the 
<br><br>calories of any low-fat or fat-free ice cream (128 - 136 calories in the entire 
<br><br>pint!). Arctic Zero is a bit harder to find than most ice cream, but you can 
<br><br>buy it online. People are obsessed with it. It's not exactly "ice cream" (more 
<br><br>like a really good frozen protein shake), so I find that it's best in recipes and 
<br><br>for when you want to eat a LOT of frozen dessert. Other brands worth 
<br><br>mentioning are Turkey Hill (I get TONS of emails about the guilt-free options, 
<br><br>but I can't get 'em easily in Los Angeles) and Blue Bunny (lots of FANTASTIC 
<br><br>scoopable and pre-portioned treats). Remember, these are just a few of my 
<br><br>favorites -- there are SO many more out there. Just be sure to pay attention 
<br><br>to labels -- not everything with "light" or "reduced-fat" in its name is low in 
<br><br>calories and fat. Stay cool...
<br><br>

<br><br>Dear HG,
<br><br>
<br><br>You write about food all the time but rarely talk about exercise. Do you think 
<br><br>it's important? And do you exercise?
<br><br>
<br><br>Wondering About Workouts
<br><br>	
<br><br>	
<br><br>
<br><br>Dear Wondering,
<br><br>
<br><br>Yes, I absolutely think it is important to exercise, and I do it A LOT. But I'm 
<br><br>going to be truthful: I used to hate to work out. A long time ago, I would 
<br><br>avoid gyms and gym equipment at all costs. They intimidated me in a huge 
<br><br>way. I would attempt intense workouts that were unreasonable or "scary," 
<br><br>and then I'd quit and feel bad about myself. Then I changed. I started to do 
<br><br>some simple weight training to build muscle, and I began doing low-impact 
<br><br>cardio as well. I WISH I were the type of person who could easily run a few 
<br><br>miles every day, but I'm not -- so I walk, usually on a treadmill, just fast 
<br><br>enough to get my heart rate up a bit. And the thing that keeps me happiest 
<br><br>while walking on a treadmill is watching TV. I have a TiVo in my treadmill 
<br><br>room, and I watch my favorite shows while I walk. (These days, I like The 
<br><br>Next Food Network Star and The Big Bang Theory!) TV helps distract me and 
<br><br>makes exercising almost fun. Truly. I typically walk on the treadmill for 45 
<br><br>minutes to an hour, four to five times a week. The key is to figure out what 
<br><br>works for YOU -- working out with a friend, listening to upbeat music while 
<br><br>you exercise, watching movies while using cardio equipment... ANYTHING 
<br><br>that can help make your workouts fun. Now I actually look forward to my 
<br><br>workouts. Another thing I learned (thanks to my fancy schmancy Bodybugg!) 
<br><br>is that doing simple household chores or even going to the mall can be a 
<br><br>good workout. The other day I actually burned more than 200 calories trying 
<br><br>on clothes at Nordstrom Rack. (Yes, I tried on A LOT.) Amazing! I also love 
<br><br>to play a video game called Rock Band with my husband (I'm the drummer), 
<br><br>and I burn about 20 - 35 calories per song while playing. The lesson here? 
<br><br>You can find ways to exercise in the most unlikely places, and you can 
<br><br>actually have LOADS of fun doing it. So start exploring and get moving!

<br><br>CHEW ON THIS:
<br><br>Today, July 22nd, is National Penuche Day. Penuche is a vanilla-flavored, 
<br><br>fudge-like candy. July 22nd is also the date in 1967 that the band Vanilla 
<br><br>Fudge played its first-ever concert. Coincidence? We think not.
