a tiny fraction of our audience receives our emails in text-only form, and the
emails look so much better designed in HTML, we have decided to stop
sending out the text-only versions of Hungry Girl newsletters. This change

Hungry Girl Today: 1.11.10
Spotted on Shelves...
Gorton's Grilled Tilapia, Lemon Peppercorn - Love to eat fish? Go the easy
route and grab a box of perfectly portioned, well-seasoned frozen fillets. This
brand-new Lemon Peppercorn flavor from Gorton's line of Grilled Tilapia is
AWESOME, and each fillet (about 3 oz.) has only 80 calories, 3g fat, 260mg
sodium, <1g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g sugars, and 14g protein (POINTS® value
2*). No bait required. P.S. Click here for a cool recipe contest!
Pepperidge Farm Limited Edition Chocolate Adventures Goldfish, Chocolate
Dunked Pretzels - The salty-sweet combo of pretzels and chocolate ROCKS,
and it tastes 13% better when shaped like goldfish. (It's true -- try it.) A 12-
piece serving of these adorable choco-dunked fishies has 140 calories, 6g
fat, 70mg sodium, 19g carbs, <1g fiber, 11g sugars, and 2g protein
(POINTS® value 3*). Find them at select stores, like Target and Walgreens.
And do it soon -- they really are "limited edition" items!
Pop-Tarts Limited Edition Popsters Baked Crispy Bites - Want 100-calorie
packs of Pop-Tart-inspired goodies? Who doesn't!? These icing-topped,
sprinkle-speckled nibbles come in Chocolate Blitz and Strawberry Blast, and
each 100-cal pouch has 2.5g fat, 110 - 115mg sodium, 18g carbs, <1g fiber,
8g sugars, and 1g protein (POINTS® value 2*). SO much less dangerous
than tearing into a 2-pastry pack of the full-sized things, which could set you
back about 400 calories!
Bitty Bites!
The Real Price of Dieting
Now that the new year is here, a lot of people -- fresh off their holiday chow-
fests -- are running for the diet plans. But is it worth the dough? (And for
once, we don't mean Pillsbury.) Check out this terrific article that breaks
down a handful of popular programs -- including how much they cost and
whether or not they're worth it. SPOILER ALERT! Weight Watchers comes out
on top for the combo of being cost-effective and a successful means of
weight loss. The bottom slot goes to In The Zone Delivery, which basically
costs about $224 per pound lost. ACK! Read up...
What's Up with the "Drive-Thru Diet"?
Nope, it's not a fast-food window slinging our Lord of the Onion Rings and
Queen-of-the-Castle Sliders. (We wish.) It's just Taco Bell's latest marketing
push, featuring before-and-after photos of its version of Subway's Jared,
a.k.a. Christine. In addition to chewing on T. Bell's Fresco items, she says, "I
reduced my daily calorie and fat intake by 500 calories to 1250 calories a
day, and, after two years, I ended up losing 54 pounds!" Well, DUH. You can
lose weight by eating food from just about ANY fast food chain, as long as
you're taking in fewer calories than you're burning. Whether you want to
spend your calories on tacos and burritos... that's YOUR call. For guilt-free
picks at any drive-thru, check out our fast food survival guides by clicking on
these links: Burger King, McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Wendy's.
Fast Food + Social Networking = Guilt-Free Giveaways
Subway has officially joined the rest of the world and created a Facebook
page! Okay, that's not the exciting part. The REALLY exciting part is that 'til
January 24th, ten fans per week will each win a $50 gift card! Click here for
the full 411. And while we're not 100% behind Taco Bell's "diet" ads, we do
love that Fresco menu. And The Bell's got a pretty cool Twitter contest going
on -- fifteen folks will win FREE Fresco food for a year. (Say that ten times
fast!) Click here for the tweet deets. FREE FOOD IS AWESOME! (Oh, and click
here to follow HG's Lisa on Twitter, and click here for the HG Facebook page.)
The Buzz...
***Let's hear it for creativity! Inventor Pep Torres attached a stationary bike
to a vending machine, rigging it so that in order to get those Ho Hos, you'd
have to do some quickie cardio. We want snack-cycles EVERYWHERE!
***Need some extra help saying NO to tempting snacks? Check out the
Record-O-Clip: a snack-bag clip/fridge magnet that lets you record a friendly
little message, to be played back whenever it's opened. Like, "Put your
hands in the air and back away from the chips, lady!" Or something more
helpful. You choose. ***Scales are scary, mostly because many of us dread
seeing our weight flash before our eyes. The kinder, gentler Quantum Scale
secretly logs your starting weight and only shows how much you've lost (or
gained, but hopefully lost)! The fact that it comes in pink is an added bonus.
***Eat your applesauce! For every pink package of Musselman's Apple
Sauce sold this month, the Big M will donate 10 cents to the National Breast
Cancer Foundation. Click here for more info, and stock up! ***Nauseating
commercials aside, Carl's Jr. has some GREAT salad options on its menu.
The new Cranberry, Apple, Walnut Grilled Chicken Salad has 300 calories,
and the Original Grilled Chicken Salad has only 200 calories. We recommend
pairing 'em with the Low Fat Balsamic Dressing, FYI! ***YAYAYAY, Chick-fil-
A! The chicken chain has added a yogurt parfait with pretty awesome stats to
its fried-food-heavy menu. With granola or Oreo (YUM!), you get a
substantial, fruit-topped treat for 200 - 240 calories, 4.5 - 5g fat, and 1 - 3g
fiber (POINTS® value 4 - 5*). There are some great grilled chicken salads
there, too. Nice! That's all we've got. HG out!
