I got my copy of Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World today! I ordered it Monday, and was expecting it around the 14th. I am soooo excited! As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been a fan of hers for a few years. I think she’s been doing this for about four years. I remember when she had a simple website and was just posting recipes and tips. She had legion of fans even then. So when I heard she wrote a cookbook, I had to buy it!
I am not disappointed. I haven’t even really dug through it, but here’s an excerpt from her back cover:
Do you want to have burgers, chocolate cake, frozen margaritas, fudge and French fries - and still fit into your pants? Is life not worth living without brownies and onion rings? Do you want a surefire way to tame your cravings? From breakfast ideas and chopped salads to guilt-free junk food and cocktails, Hungry Girl recipes taste great but are low in fat and calories. Check it out!
She is a girl after my own heart. I’m all about simple and easy recipes.
Even if you’re not interested in the book, please check the link. She has a FREE e-booklet deal with Amazon, Hungry Girl’s Weekend Fun Guide, with some really good low-cal recipes (alcoholic drinks, pigs in a blanket, microwave chocolate cake, bbq seafood skewers, peach crumble, baked pretzels, pb&j cocoa-nana trail mix, breakfast, banana bread, chicken lo mein, crunchy apple pie sundae). You’ll need Adobe to get the ebook. But, I can’t wait to make the banana bread! A huge slice for 140 calories.
You can also check her site, Hungry Girl, out just to get a feel for her before buying the book. I highly recommend the site for EVERYONE who wants to really EAT while losing weight.
She uses Weight Watchers for her maintenance. While she calculates the points for foods on her site, she doesn’t in the book. She does include all nutritional info, so if you’re a Weight Watcher, you can calculate it yourself using e-tools or your Weight Watchers calculator.

I can hardly wait to get my copy! We actually have it at the place that I work so I’m going to get myself a copy tonight! I love her site! I’m new to this “sticking to losing weight” thing and her site has helped a bunch!
Have a great weekend!
