***ATTENTION TEXT-ONLY HG SUBSCRIBERS (this means YOU!): Since only
<br>a tiny fraction of our audience receives our emails in text-only form, and the
<br>emails look so much better designed in HTML, we have decided to stop
<br>sending out the text-only versions of Hungry Girl newsletters. This change
<br>will happen in the very near future. Keep an eye out for the HTML versions in
<br>your inbox... coming soon!***

<br>Hungry Girl Today: 8.24.09
<br>
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>Kozy Shack Simplywell Pudding - This pudding is thick and full of fiber, 
<br>calcium, and antioxidants. The French Vanilla is DELICIOUS, and the Dark 
<br>Chocolate is good as well. As for the other three more "experimental" 
<br>flavors: Lemon Ginger, Green Tea Chai, and Pear Mangosteen? Um, not so 
<br>great. The Pear Mangosteen is acceptable, but we are NOT on board with the 
<br>other two. We still love you, Kozy Shack! Each 4-oz. pudding cup has 100 
<br>calories, 1 - 1.5g fat, 17 - 18g carbs, 3g fiber, and 3 - 4g protein (POINTS&reg; 
<br>value 1 - 2*).
<br>
<br>Coffee-mate Powder Stick Packs - These new single-serving packets of 
<br>powdered creamer are GREAT to stash in your purse or desk, especially 
<br>since you never know when you'll be faced with low-quality plain coffee. One 
<br>little stick and you're saved. Choose between The Original (15 calories, 1g 
<br>fat, 1g carbs, and a POINTS&reg; value of 0* per packet) and French Vanilla (60 
<br>calories, 2.5g fat, 9g carbs, and a POINTS&reg; value of 1* per packet). We'll 
<br>likely be sticking (get it!?) with The Original until they start offering these in 
<br>Sugar Free French Vanilla! 
<br>
<br>Biotta Premium Organic Juices - Hey, veggie-drinkers and fruit-sippers! 
<br>Looking for an alternative to V8? Check out these adorable (and recyclable) 
<br>bottles of veggie and fruit juice cocktails from Biotta. They contain more 
<br>nutrients than most commercial juices. YAY! Our new favorite, the Vegetable 
<br>Juice Cocktail, has only 60 calories, 0g fat, 13g carbs, 2g fiber, and 2g 
<br>protein (POINTS&reg; value 1*) per 8.4-oz. bottle. There are some crazy 
<br>varieties like Elderberry, Potato, and Sauerkraut, but those are a little TOO 
<br>adventurous, even for us! Click here to find a few bottles near you or here to 
<br>order online.
<br>

<br>
<br>Bitty Bites!
<br>
<br>Really, Wal-Mart? REALLY?
<br>
<br>In what some consider a moustache-twirlingly diabolical move, Wal-Mart has 
<br>decided to throw some competition in the direction of an American institution: 
<br>The Girl Scouts. One mom/blogger feels Wal-Mart stooped pretty low when it 
<br>unveiled knockoffs of the Scouts' top-selling cookies, Thin Mints and 
<br>Tagalongs. But according to another bloggerWal-Mart claims its versions are 
<br>just "an alternative to the many fudge mint cookies and chocolate covered 
<br>peanut butter cookies," pointing out that Kellogg's Keebler Fudge Shoppe 
<br>Grasshoppers and Peanut Butter Filled Cookies are pretty similar to the 
<br>Scouts' snacks too. A valid point. Apparently Wal-Mart also "supports the Girl 
<br>Scouts . . . through cookie sales in front of [its] stores, local fundraising 
<br>efforts, and donations." Hmmm. We're personally willing to pay a few extra 
<br>bucks for the real thing if it means funding campouts and good wholesome 
<br>fun for the little Hungry Girls out there. And the real Girl Scout Cookies rock 
<br>so much, even we indulge in a few each year! 
<br>
<br>
<br>Jeffrey's Back and Smuglier Than Ever!
<br>
<br>We recently learned that The Next Food Network Star runner-up (and HG 
<br>fave) Jeffrey Saad now has a series of webisodes based on his TV pilot, The 
<br>Spice Smuggler. Yay! While you're over at the FN site, check out Jeffrey's 
<br>tasty-looking recipes, conveniently posted for all to see. Sure, everyone's 
<br>happy for NFNS winner Melissa d'Arabian and her new show, Ten Dollar 
<br>Dinners, but the people demand more Jeffrey. Congrats to both of them! 
<br>
<br>
<br>Bon Appe-Tweet!
<br>
<br>What's Tony winner and TV host Marissa Jaret Winokur's new weight-
<br>management mantra? "Before I eat, I shall tweet." In her blog on 
<br>People.com, she raves that her Twitter pals are like a support group in her 
<br>quest to shed some pounds. It's already helped to change her latte-loving 
<br>ways, and we think it's a pretty savvy idea. (Having to type, "I'm going to sit 
<br>down and chow an entire bag of potato chips," can do a number on the 
<br>appetite.) Read all about it, including her battles with hotel mini-bars. Then 
<br>click HERE to follow MJW on Twitter and HERE to follow HG! 
<br>
<br>
<br>Just HOW Bad Is That Fast-Food Lunch?
<br>
<br>Um, it's pretty bad, people. Researchers from the New York City Department 
<br>of Health and Mental Hygiene surveyed nearly 8,000 customers from fast-
<br>food joints around NYC to see what they ordered. Turns out, the average 
<br>lunch ordered at chicken chains contained around 931 calories -- the worst of 
<br>any fast-food category. The lowest lunch average came from sandwich shops 
<br>(734 calories). Horrifyingly enough, 34 percent of all the fast-food eaters 
<br>surveyed ordered meals averaging 1,000 calories or more... and that's just 
<br>for lunch! Eeeks. Consider yourself warned...
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>Looking for another way to enjoy guilt-free hot chocolate? Hot Cocoa is the 
<br>next limited edition flavor to join the ever-expanding Dreyer's/Edy's Slow 
<br>Churned Light Ice Cream line. It has marshmallows and everything, humans. 
<br>It'll hit the freezer aisle in October. We can't wait! ***More good news for 
<br>chocolate-lovers. A long-term study has found that heart attack survivors 
<br>who ate chocolate two or more times a week cut their risk of heart-disease-
<br>related death THREEFOLD compared to chocolate-avoiders. Pass it on! 
<br>***Pssst... Licorice oil may help burn fat. Don't start inhaling Twizzlers just 
<br>yet, though. Click here for more. ***A new study suggests that eating out 
<br>with a large group of female pals may cause you to consume more calories. 
<br>To be safe, start talking about HG and all the great stuff you've read in 
<br>recent emails before ordering. (Just a little tip!) The study also found that 
<br>none of the variables -- like group size or gender of the other diners -- 
<br>affected what the men ordered. (Sheesh!) But overall, the women still 
<br>consumed fewer calories per meal than the men did. (Score!) That's all 
<br>we've got. HG out!
