<br>Hungry Girl Today: 1.6.10
<br>
<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL
<br>
<br>
<br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>Seems like people always make New Year's resolutions to eat smarter and 
<br>lose weight, but then they give up within a week or so. Why does this 
<br>happen, and how can I avoid having that happen to me?
<br>
<br>Nervous in Nantucket  
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Dear Nervous,
<br>
<br>Happy 2010! Great question. So many people say they're going to start 
<br>eating better in January, and then two weeks later, they're back to their old 
<br>habits. I have a theory about why this happens: I think it's about setting 
<br>unrealistic goals. But it doesn't have to be that way. Here are my TOP ATE 
<br>tips for successful eating in 2010...
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>1. Don't go "on a diet." While diet plans can be helpful, if you think of 
<br>yourself as being "on a diet," everything can become too black and white. If 
<br>you're "on a diet" and suddenly you have a little setback, you may decide 
<br>you're "off your diet" and go back to your old ways. Think of your new eating 
<br>plan as more of a lifestyle change -- one that will have ups and downs, with 
<br>good days and bad. 
<br>
<br>2. Don't deprive yourself. A food plan shouldn't be about deprivation. It 
<br>should be about SATISFACTION. Find foods you LOVE -- things that satisfy 
<br>you but are better choices than the fat-packed alternatives. This is KEY. 
<br>
<br>3. Drink lots of water. Water is good for you. It's good for your skin and your 
<br>metabolism. And it helps fill you up. Plus, not getting enough water can make 
<br>you cranky and more likely to make bad food choices.
<br>
<br>4. Listen to your body. It knows things. If eating cereal for breakfast tends to 
<br>make you hungrier throughout the day, then don't eat cereal in the morning. 
<br>Pay close attention to your body cues. This will help tremendously. 
<br>
<br>5. Live one day (or even one MEAL) at a time. Don't be discouraged and beat 
<br>yourself up if you fall off the wagon and eat badly -- just be aware and make 
<br>better decisions at your next meal. 
<br>
<br>6. Get exercise with activities you enjoy. I used to HATE exercising. I feared 
<br>it. Now I exercise but only do what I like (which happens to be walking on a 
<br>treadmill five times a week, while watching reality TV, and weight training 
<br>twice a week with a friend). Find something you actually enjoy doing, and 
<br>you'll do it. Don't take on an exercise routine that causes pain or discomfort -
<br>- you'll just end up ditching it completely. (And I know this isn't an EATING 
<br>tip, but it's important!) 
<br>
<br>7. Let yourself cheat a little. Everyone strays once in a while. It's totally 
<br>normal. Splurge when you need to, and enjoy it. (Don't feel guilty!) Then get 
<br>RIGHT back on track to prove to yourself that you can handle a cheat meal 
<br>now and then. 
<br>
<br>8. Keep track of what you eat. Write it down. As dorky as it sounds, you 
<br>WILL 100% without a doubt make better choices if you hold yourself 
<br>accountable for what you eat by keeping a food journal. Just do it -- even if 
<br>you only write in it every OTHER day.
<br>
<br>Good luck, and have a GREAT year!
<br>

<br>HG,
<br>
<br>I had a recipe of yours for Buffalo chicken dip and I can't find it. I tried 
<br>searching the site and everything. Where is it?! Thank you so much!
<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Dear Dying for Dip,
<br>
<br>Worry not! I know the dip you're looking for. It's called Buff Chick Hot Wing 
<br>Dip. And it is AWE-SOME. The secret ingredient is Frank's RedHot sauce. 
<br>(Okay, maybe not-so-secret, since the recipe's based on one by the sauce 
<br>company itself.) That dip is creamy, hot, chicken-packed, and all-around 
<br>delicious. By the way, don't feel bad about not being able to find it by 
<br>searching the HG site. Honestly, it can be REALLY hard to find things using 
<br>our search bar. Sometimes (and I CANNOT believe I am admitting this), it's 
<br>just easier to go to Google and search "Hungry Girl" and whatever it is you're 
<br>looking for. (Click here to see what I mean.) Hope you find this info helpful. 
<br>And enjoy the dip!
<br>
