Hungry girl

[Guest guest]

I dont know if it was this group or another veggie group I am on that

recommended hungrygirl.com but it well worth signing up for her daily

e-mails. I have been getting loads of fun recipes for myself and the

kids.

I know how some of us feel about weird products and fake meat I agree

but when you are trying to lose weight you need to be creative. On

hungry girl this morning she was talking about peanut butter and how

there is a new product out called PB2. You can only buy it online now

but it is actually powdered peanut butter they have removed almost all

of the fat. It has 58 calories and 3 grams of fat for two tablespoons.

Since it is powdered you need to add something to it but she said it

works just like real peanut butter. I looked at the website it didnt

say what the ingredients were.

I thought everyone should know.

I dunno, I might have missed it. But I just looked at Hungry Girl and was

disappointed to

see that it wasn't a vegetarian site although I do see veggie recipes there.

I say this as a

mild warning only to anyone who is a new vegetarian and might find themselves

drooling

at the sight and description of 'juicy chi**en' or lovely shr*mp, or whatever,

and finding

themselves tempted to go off the veggie wagon.

 

But I do see that she uses Weight Watchers points for her recipes, which is a

help to those

of you who keep track of your intake that way.

Hi Pat ~

 

Yes, it was me that sent it a little bit back. I've been getting the daily

emails for a while and haven't noticed her to be overly " meaty " ; but perhaps I

just have a good filter for that! ;-)

 

I find some of her alternate snacks, etc. to be quite creative and they look

yummy. I understand your concern though for those who feel they are being

" forced " to be vegetarian (aka not enjoying it!) being tempted as opposed to

those of us who have chosen this dietary lifestyle and aren't tempted by seeing

recipes which include meat.

Cindi,

I love it her site is fun and youthful so many of the recipes my boys like

and she has all the calories listed. I understand about the meat on her site but

as a vegetarian I think we tend to have to look at everything closely anyhow so

for me the good out weighs the bad. Thanks again for posting that site it is

very helpful when you are on a diet and can only see carrots and celery in your

future to know there are more options out there.

Oh, I was just bowled over by some rather grungy-looking greasy-looking

meaty-looking

photos when I was, unsuspectingly, expecting a veggie site - maybe I clicked in

at a bad

time - it happens - or my own filters were down!! LOL That doesn't mean it

isn't an

excellent site for weight-loss through calorie control, even if not directed to

vegetarians.

It was meant as a simple alert, not as a criticism of the Hungry Girl site. But

you make me

wonder if there are truly many who are 'forced' to be vegetarian ('aka not

enjoying it!')

here. Probably not, eh? So no prob. There might otoh be some who are offended at

sites or

whatever which promote or condone meat, but that's a whole 'n'other topic, I

know, and

not pertinent to this discussiion OK, all done now LOL

 

Love, Pat
