<br>Hi HG, 
<br>
<br>I keep hearing about coconut milk and coconut water. What is all the hype 
<br>about? Do I need to get on the coconut bandwagon??
<br>
<br>Coconut Meg   
<br> 
<br> 
<br> Hi 'Nut Meg,
<br>
<br>Excellent Qs. First of all, there's a HUGE difference between coconut milk and 
<br>coconut water. Coconut milk usually refers to a thick, creamy, canned 
<br>ingredient that's made from a concentrated amount of coconut "meat." It's 
<br>VERY calorie dense, with more than 450 calories and 50g fat per cup! Even 
<br>the "lite" kind has at least a dozen fat grams per cup. Coconut water, on the 
<br>other hand, is the clear liquid inside the coconut; that stuff is definitely 
<br>getting a lot of buzz these days. I'm pretty selective when it comes to 
<br>drinking my calories; I usually prefer to chew them. That being said, pure 
<br>coconut water is SOOO good for you and tastes really GREAT. It has tons of 
<br>potassium and electrolytes, and some experts say it hydrates better than 
<br>regular water. Plus, the stats are pretty reasonable: 1 cup has about 45 
<br>calories and <1g fat (POINTS&reg; value 1*). A brand called Zico makes 11-oz. 
<br>and 14-oz. containers of coconut water with 60 cals each (POINTS&reg; value 
<br>1*), including fruity flavors like Passion Fruit and Mango! There are other 
<br>fruit-flavored versions out there -- like the kinds by O.N.E. and Vita Coco -- 
<br>with pretty good stats. But always read labels carefully; watch out for lots of 
<br>added sugar and extra calories. And whatever you do, don't confuse coconut 
<br>milk with coconut water. Got it? Good! 
<br>
<br>

<br>Hi Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>I'm new to the site... Love your stuff! I want to buy one of your cookbooks, 
<br>but I don't know which one. How do they differ? Which should I get first? 
<br>Thanks! 
<br>

<br> Hi Paige,
<br>
<br>(Is that your REAL name?) Welcome to HG land! There are three LARGE 
<br>Hungry Girl books and a smaller cocktail book out now (plus some fun items 
<br>like an audiobook and a set of recipe cards). To help you decide which book 
<br>to get, here's some info on each one...
<br>
<br>Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real 
<br>World - Also known as the green book, this is the very first HG cookbook. It 
<br>has a little bit of everything: breakfast, soup, salad, and dessert recipes; fast-
<br>food makeovers; and, of course, survival guides! It's pretty classic and a 
<br>great intro to HG recipes. And if you ever struggle with food decisions at 
<br>restaurants, at parties, on vacations, and more, THIS is the book for you.
<br>
<br>Hungry Girl 200 Under 200: 200 Recipes Under 200 Calories - This book is 
<br>really great if you love to eat many mini meals (say that three times fast) 
<br>throughout the day, since each recipe has fewer than 200 cals. There's an 
<br>entire chapter of cupcakes; lots of mix-n-match options for breakfast, lunch, 
<br>and dinner; plus snacks, shakes, fun appetizers, and more... 
<br>
<br>Hungry Girl 1-2-3: The Easiest, Most Delicious, Guilt-Free Recipes on the 
<br>Planet - Ooooh, the latest big HG book. This could be my favorite. The 
<br>recipes are so insanely easy, ANYONE can make them. In addition to dishes 
<br>with four or fewer ingredients, slow-cooker recipes, and meals made in foil 
<br>packs for easy cleanup, there are more than 60 two-ingredient recipes! This 
<br>is definitely the book for anyone who is looking for simple, yet fantastic, no-
<br>guilt recipes. 
<br>
<br>Hungry Girl Happy Hour: 75 Recipes for Amazingly Fantastic Guilt-Free 
<br>Cocktails and Party Foods - This adorably sized book is AWESOME, especially 
<br>if you like to have people over for get-togethers. There are recipes for finger 
<br>foods, decadent cocktails, spiked pitcher drinks, and sooo much more. (It 
<br>makes a great gift, too!) 
<br>
<br>Okay, I hope that helped you make your decision. Now click here to visit our 
<br>book site! You can see photos of all the recipes and compare prices from 
<br>popular online retailers. You'll find the Weight Watchers POINTS&reg; value* for 
<br>each recipe there, too. The books are also sold in stores, BTW. Happy 
<br>chewing!!!
