<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br>
<br>
<br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>I hear eating certain foods can make you feel less cranky and irritable. Is 
<br>this true, and if so, what should I be eating to make me less crabby?
<br>
<br>Cranky Pants
<br>  
<br> 
<br>Dear Cranky Pants,
<br>
<br>We all get crabby now and then (some of us more often than others, it's 
<br>true), and what you eat definitely can affect your mood. It's a known fact 
<br>that super-concentrated refined sugar sources like soda, candy, jelly and 
<br>juices will do funky things to your blood sugar levels (radical spikes and 
<br>dips!), and that can make you feel crabby and tired. White starches -- like 
<br>most bread, bagels, chips, etc. -- can do the same thing. Experts say foods 
<br>rich in soluble fiber can slow down the absorption of sugar and prevent crazy 
<br>mood swings. Things like oats (slow cooking oatmeal is great!), brown rice, 
<br>beans, oranges, strawberries, etc. are all good sources. Protein is also great 
<br>at keeping your blood sugar levels from fluctuating drastically. So snack on 
<br>lean meats, seafood, etc. to feel more alert and productive. In short, while 
<br>things like gummy bears and chips may give you a quick energy boost, in 
<br>the end they can make you feel sluggish and even cranky. So choose your 
<br>snacks carefully. For more on this, check out my article on Yahoo! about how 
<br>what you eat affects your mood.

<br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>I love the idea of using fat-free versions of sour cream, mayo and cream 
<br>cheese, but I don't like the way they taste at all. Have any tips for me?
<br>
<br>Finicky About Fat-Free
<br>  
<br> 
<br>Dear Finicky,
<br>
<br>A lot of people feel the way you do -- that fat-free versions of normally fatty 
<br>foods like mayo, cream cheese, etc. simply don't taste good. And you know 
<br>what? You guys aren't wrong. Fat-free mayo ISN'T as good as real mayo. 
<br>Some people (like me) have taste buds that are more forgiving than others, 
<br>but even I know that sometimes fat-free cream cheese alone just doesn't cut 
<br>it. The key, in my opinion, is to figure out smart ways to use these 
<br>ingredients. So what I do is use these fat-free versions in recipes. You'd be 
<br>surprised how AWESOME fat-free cream cheese becomes when you mix it 
<br>with pumpkin, no-cal sweetener and pumpkin spice. And how good a little fat-
<br>free sour cream is when mixed with a Laughing Cow Light cheese wedge 
<br>(hello, alfredo sauce!). I can almost guarantee that even the most stubborn 
<br>haters of fat-free foods will learn to appreciate (and even LOVE) using this 
<br>stuff in recipes. You really just need to play around with 'em and see what 
<br>works for you. All three of these low-cal foods are great for making creamy 
<br>dressings, dips, sauces, toppings and more that are guilt-free! Do not fear 
<br>the fat-free...trust me on this one!
