<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br>
<br>Dear Hungry Girl, 
<br>
<br>I love your emails and recipes so much. Do you have a book? If not, will you 
<br>have one soon?
<br>
<br>Craving an HG Cookbook
<br>  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Craving,
<br>
<br>I get asked this question about five times a day, so here's the 411.  No, 
<br>there is no Hungry Girl cookbook at this time. I am, however, working on 
<br>one. There's no official book deal yet, so I have no idea when it will be 
<br>released; but you can be sure that a Hungry Girl book of recipes and other 
<br>tips & tricks is on the way. Since the book is in the developmental stages 
<br>now, I thought I'd ask you guys some questions about it. If you'd like to help 
<br>me by weighing in (no pun intended) on some things, click here to answer a 
<br>few Qs. Pllleeeeeease?!!? And thanks in advance! :)

<br>Dear HG, 
<br>
<br>I'm fairly new to the site and I have some questions. What are the "Points" 
<br>you mention for? And can I use substitutions in your recipes? Also, why do 
<br>you write about foods that have artificial ingredients?
<br>

<br>  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Hey, Curious! 
<br>
<br>You're not the only one curious about those things. I've had 14 people ask 
<br>what "Points" mean this week alone, so I figured I'd address it. The "Points" I 
<br>mention in my emails refer to the value of the foods when used in 
<br>conjunction with the Weight Watchers plan. I know that many (if not most!) 
<br>of the HG subscribers are NOT following Weight Watchers, but I include that 
<br>information as a service to those who are, and also as a way to promote 
<br>Weight Watchers -- because I think it is an AWESOME plan that people should 
<br>know about. Now, as far as my recipes are concerned, yes, you can 
<br>substitute ingredients. I will often suggest that you use Splenda, but feel free 
<br>to use your sweetener of choice. If I say use Almond Breeze Unsweetened, 
<br>you can use skim milk, light soymilk or another milk substitute you like. If a 
<br>recipe calls for Better 'n Peanut Butter, you can always use regular peanut 
<br>butter. Please do keep in mind that my nutritional info is based on my exact 
<br>ingredients, and if you stray from them, the nutritionals will vary accordingly. 
<br>And, to answer your last Q, Hungry Girl isn't really for health food junkies. 
<br>The foods I feature and create are not always for people who stick to a strict 
<br>diet of natural and organic foods. HG has a more real-world approach to 
<br>eating. I try to feature healthy foods as much as possible, but I am usually 
<br>more concerned with helping people navigate the supermarket aisles and 
<br>helping them seek out things that taste great and won't make them gain 
<br>weight. That about sums it up! Hope I covered it all...
