<br>Hungry Girl Today: 06.13.07 
<br>
<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL
<br>
<br>
<br>Dear Hungry Girl, 
<br>
<br>I am going to be on a 14-hour flight to Italy in a couple of weeks, and I 
<br>wanted to see if you had any tips for snacks I could take with me without 
<br>going totally over my Points for the day. Also, I have never flown overseas. 
<br>Any ideas for exercises I could do on the long plane ride? 
<br>
<br>Flying Away
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Flying Away, 
<br>
<br>You're in luck. I've tackled this Q before (and even have a piece on Yahoo! 
<br>about it). And I'm also writing this on a plane right now, so I am feeling 
<br>particularly inspired to answer. A word of warning: Don't be fooled by the so-
<br>called "light" snack boxes they serve (sell) you on airplanes. Those are often 
<br>filled with things that individually aren't so bad for you, but TOGETHER are a 
<br>little insane. A "healthy" pack sold on one of my recent flights contained 
<br>crackers, pita chips, hummus, cheese, chocolate and raisins. Billed as a "light 
<br>snack", that thing had as many calories as a full meal (maybe more!). These 
<br>plane snacks tend to be a bit too "carby" for me. Fatty, chip-like items don't 
<br>fill me up -- they make me hungrier, so I avoid them. That being said, I'll get 
<br>to your actual question. Yes, I do have some recommended plane snacks for 
<br>you, and here they are. For a sweet, fiber-packed fix, I take along VitaTops 
<br>(1 Point), Fiber One Chewy Bars (2-3 Points), or Gnu Bars (2 Points). They're 
<br>all filling and delicious. When I want to satisfy a crunch, I take individual 
<br>packs of crunchy snacks (like freeze-dried/baked fruit or veggies) onboard. 
<br>These days, my favorites are Nature Valley Cinnamon Apple Fruit Crisps (1 
<br>Point) and Sensible Foods Sweet Corn Crunch Dried Snacks (1 Point). I also 
<br>love Quaker Mini Delights (2 Points for any of the 3 flavors) and Crum Creek 
<br>Soy Bites in EVERYTHING! flavor (the packs are HUGE and have just 105 
<br>calories and 2 Points each). As for plane exercises, I try to do a lot of leg 
<br>stretches -- toe points and whatnot. And sometimes I do arm lifts with water 
<br>bottles (just be careful not to clock the person next to you in the head). If 
<br>you want more plane exercises, check out this great book. Have a fantastic 
<br>trip, BTW. I wish I were going with you! (I'd be happy to supply the snacks!)

<br>Dear Hungry Girl, 
<br>
<br>I would LOVE to give up dry carbs but, just like everyone else, I LOVE them. 
<br>That really isn't even the issue, though. It seems like without these items, 
<br>I'm just NEVER FULL! I know you aren't a doctor, but I just wanted to ask 
<br>about your experience when you gave them up. Did you also NOT feel full? 
<br>
<br>Curious About the Carb Thing
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Curious, 
<br>
<br>Ahhh... So you read my bio. Yes, I did give up what I call "dry carbs" for 
<br>almost a year. That includes all starches -- pasta, potatoes, bread, flour of 
<br>any kind, etc. And to this day, if I ever want to drop a few pounds here or 
<br>there for some reason (a special event or trip!), giving those things up is the 
<br>fastest way for me PERSONALLY to lose that weight. It's obviously not the 
<br>same for everyone, but for my body, avoiding those carby items is the key 
<br>to fast weight loss. As far as how I felt when I wasn't eating those things -- I 
<br>felt better than ever. I LOVE protein, and it fills me up WAY more than 
<br>starches fill me up, so getting full was never a problem. For me, having an 
<br>egg-white scramble for breakfast is more filling than eating a bowl of cereal. 
<br>And I find eating a salad packed with protein (like lean meats and beans) is 
<br>more filling than eating a sandwich. I was full -- not hungry -- and had TONS 
<br>of energy and felt fantastic. The reason I started to incorporate starches 
<br>back into my diet is because completely avoiding them FOREVER seemed 
<br>unrealistic. So now I eat those things, but not often. And, even though I'm 
<br>(technically) "Hungry Girl", I'm not really all that hungry (well, at least not 
<br>ALL of the time)!
