<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br>
<br>
<br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>I love salads topped with fruits, nuts and crumbly cheeses, however those 
<br>things usually add a lot of calories. What are some healthy options to make 
<br>my salads more exciting?
<br>
<br>Salad-Stumped
<br>
<br>
<br>   
<br>Dear Stumped,
<br>
<br>You are definitely right to be concerned. There are plenty of salad-toppers 
<br>that people overuse, adding hundreds and hundreds of calories to otherwise 
<br>healthy and innocent meals. Chinese noodles, greasy croutons, bleu cheese, 
<br>and even too many nuts and raisins are all salad bar offenders. Your best bet 
<br>is to load up on many different types of veggies. Don't count on the bad stuff 
<br>to add zazzle to your bowl; go for colored peppers -- like yellow, orange, red 
<br>and green. Add zucchini, squash, cabbage, onions, carrots, broccoli, etc. to 
<br>your salad to make it more exciting (and beautiful!). Don't get me wrong; 
<br>nothing can take the place of fun and decadent things to throw into your 
<br>salads, so I have plenty of those that are guilt-free, too. Sunflower seeds or 
<br>soy nuts add some nuttiness and crunch without packing in as many calories 
<br>as nuts. A few grapes or pineapple chunks are a nice touch, as well (fresh 
<br>fruit contains fewer calories than dried). Instead of croutons, you can bake 
<br>up some low-cal, high-fiber tortillas and make healthy tortilla strips for your 
<br>salad (or, if you're lazy, just toss in some soy crisps or low-fat chips).  And a 
<br>handful of garbanzos are always a nice touch. As for cheese, you don't need 
<br>to give it up completely. A sprinkle of reduced-fat parmesan or shredded fat-
<br>free cheese on top won't add too many calories. Remember to use a low-fat, 
<br>low-cal dressing, too.  But read labels carefully, 'cuz those "light" dressings 
<br>can be deceiving.  Happy chewing!
<br>

<br>Dear HG,
<br>
<br>Do flavored lip balms have real sugar in them? They taste like they have 
<br>hidden calories...
<br>
<br>Bummed 'Bout Balm
<br>
<br>
<br>   
<br>Dear Bummed, 
<br>
<br>No worries. I have never seen a lip balm that contained actual sugar. Most 
<br>are sweetened with a sugar substitute like saccharin and are calorie-free. 
<br>And it's not like you're whipping out your cupcake-flavored lip balm and 
<br>taking a huge bite out of it, anyway (at least I hope you aren't!). When it 
<br>comes to delicious-flavored lip stuff, feel free to use 'em liberally. No need to 
<br>go overboard stressing over things like that... trust me. And if flavored lip 
<br>stuff helps curb your cravings, check this out NOW.  Good luck!
