<br>Hungry Girl Today: 08.18.08 
<br>
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>New Mini-Wheats - If you're a fan of miniature wheat cereal, YOU are in luck, 
<br>friend. Two new options are now in stores -- Frosted Cinnamon Streusel Mini-
<br>Wheats (about 24 biscuits = 180 calories, 1g fat, 44g carbs, 5g fiber -- 
<br>POINTS&reg; value 3*) and Bite Size Unfrosted Mini-Wheats (about 30 biscuits = 
<br>200 calories, 1.5g fat, 46g carbs, 6g fiber -- POINTS&reg; value 3*). Both very 
<br>wheaty -- and very delicious! 
<br>
<br>Kashi Pocket Bread Sandwiches - We told you these were on the way, and 
<br>now they're here! In Chicken Rustico, Turkey Fiesta, and Veggie Medley. 
<br>Each convenient l'il pocket sandwich contains 270 - 300 calories, 6 - 8g fat, 
<br>41 - 49g carbs, and 4 - 6g fiber (POINTS&reg; value 5 - 6*). Like all of Kashi's 
<br>stuff, these taste GREAT! 
<br>
<br>New Amy's Light in Sodium Products - Keep an eye out for even MORE 
<br>reduced-sodium offerings from Amy's. There's Shepherd's Pie (160 calories, 
<br>4g fat, 27g carbs, 5g fiber -- POINTS&reg; value 3*) and Macaroni & Cheese 
<br>(400 calories, 16g fat, 47g carbs, 3g fiber -- POINTS&reg; value 9*). The 
<br>Shepherd's Pie is fabulous! And while the Mac & Cheese isn't exactly low-cal, 
<br>at least there's less salt! Each of these has just 290mg sodium -- that's over 
<br>50% less than the originals!  
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dannon Dilemma -- Good News or Bad?! TELL US NOW!
<br>
<br>Last week we broke the news about Dannon adding 20 calories to their 6-oz. 
<br>Light & Fit yogurt cups. We said it was a GOOD thing because we thought 
<br>Dannon's 60-calorie yogurt was, um, not impressive at all, and we think the 
<br>new flavor and texture are really an improvement. But apparently, many of 
<br>you disagree. We've been barraged with emails from people who are LIVID 
<br>about the "new great taste", added sugars, and 20 extra calories. These 
<br>complainers (you know who you are!) insist that the "thinner" yogurt was 
<br>better and that it's an OUTRAGE that Dannon Light & Fit is back up to 80 
<br>calories a serving (it wasn't always 60 calories). We want to get to the 
<br>bottom of this. Click here NOW to voice your opinion on this very important 
<br>yogurt issue. We MUST know what you think. CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, 
<br>people!   
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>All Fibers Are NOT Created Equal!
<br>
<br>You may have noticed that EVERYTHING has fiber these days. And lots more 
<br>of it. It's not uncommon to find ice cream products with 4 grams of fiber per 
<br>serving -- and snack bars with 12 grams of the stuff. It's a little KOOKY! A 
<br>recent article in Nutrition Action Healthletter (from our pals at CSPI) points 
<br>out some key facts about "high-fiber" foods that have been infused with 
<br>isolated fibers, like inulin, maltodextrin, and polydextrose. These fibers are 
<br>likely not as beneficial to your health as intact fibers, and they probably 
<br>won't lower your cholesterol or blood sugar. Bottom line? As long as you 
<br>don't overdo it, these fibers probably won't hurt you (they cause some 
<br>people stomach discomfort in large doses). But if you're looking to meet the 
<br>RDA of fiber for health reasons, you might want to only count naturally 
<br>occurring fibers, like those in whole grains, fruits, and veggies. P.S. The 
<br>article doesn't suggest that these isolated fibers contain fully digestible 
<br>calories (regular fiber doesn't either), so calorie counts on products that 
<br>subtract calories from fiber aren't affected.  
<br>

<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>Ooooooh -- here's something fun! If you missed the HG Book Tour, you can 
<br>listen to an actual podcast of the Denver book event from The Tattered 
<br>Cover RIGHT HERE. Click to hear Lisa's talk and Q & A! And speaking of the 
<br>HG book, you can download a printable PDF of the recipe titles and their WW 
<br>POINTS&reg; values* by clicking HERE! And you can BUY the actual book HERE 
<br>(15 straight weeks on The New York Times Best Sellers list!). ***Think 
<br>there's no more yogurt news? WRONG-O! You may have noticed that the 
<br>small containers of our favorite fat-free Greek yogurt, Fage Total 0% (Fage 
<br>is pronounced "fah-yeh" -- it does NOT rhyme with "cage"), have gone from 
<br>80 calories each to 90 (some other stats have changed slightly, too). Well, 
<br>guess what? The product itself hasn't changed at all -- the serving size is just 
<br>slightly bigger (it went from 5.3 oz. to 6 oz.). Mystery solved! ***Yes, we 
<br>sent out a whole Side Dish email a few weeks ago about the new Dunkin' 
<br>Donuts "Smart" menu. But we want to stress just how DELICIOUS those Egg 
<br>White Flatbread Sandwiches are. We were visiting the East Coast last week 
<br>and became obsessed with the Veggie one (290 calories, 9g fat, 39g carbs, 
<br>3g fiber -- POINTS&reg; value 6*). SO worth seeking out! YUM! ***Want to burn 
<br>more calories while doing your cardio? STAND UP STRAIGHT! Aiming for 
<br>better posture challenges your balance, and many experts agree that means 
<br>more calories burned. So no slumping! ***You may have heard that there 
<br>have been recalls on certain batches of beef due to E. coli concerns. Well 
<br>after a recent USDA investigation, the recall was expanded and now includes 
<br>over 1.3 MILLION pounds of beef! Click here for all the details. That's all 
<br>we've got. HG out!
