Has anyone?!?!?

bug1106

Has anyone tried any hungry girl recipes? I am really trying to shut this cookie monster up in my head!!!

EmmieBaby

if you want cookies try this

take ripe banana's (2-3)
1 cup oats
mix together and add wtv else you want (nuts, berries, peanut butter)
shape into cookie balls or pancakes
bake for 10min (i think on 350 but not sure)

enjoy

as for HG, I've leafed through her books and it seems (to me) like the same 3 recipes with different ingredients. but she does have simple and easy meals with food I can actually find in a normal store

Do you have a BJs Wholesale Club by you? They have the best Animal Crackers, and only 120 calories for 17 of them.

I will look for a BJ's wholesale Club. Its just so hard. I can resist most things, but dern those evil cookies. And yes, I know that no one is forcing me to eat them, let alone whole pack, but its definitely my addiction:(

She had an episode where she took frozen whole wheat waffles and made it into a breakfast taco shell. It was a really good idea and good when filled with egg beaters and vegetables. You can even dip them in sugar free syrup with not much added calories. Unfortunately I can't find the exact recipe online but here is the taco shell itself.

PER SERVING (entire recipe): 80 calories, 1.5g fat, 185mg sodium, 15g carbs, 2g fiber, 1.5g sugars, 2.5g protein -- PointsPlus® value 2*

Prep:
5 minutes
Cook:
5 minutes

Ingredients:
1 low-fat waffle, thawed from frozen
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lay the waffle flat on a clean, dry surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten the waffle as much as possible.
Very carefully hang the waffle over one grate of an oven rack, so it resembles the shape of an upside-down taco.
Bake it until crispy and firm, about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the waffle taco shell, and stuff it with breakfasty taco items like scrambled egg whites, light cheese, lean sausage crumbles, cilantro, and salsa!

Just eat a cookie! Or maybe two. Just exercise a bit longer to make up the calories, or cut somewhere else. If you keep craving those cookies, it could lead to a binge. If you allow yourself some treats now and then, you are less likely to binge. JMHO!

For some this works! For me its awful, I can not eat two. Two leads to eight.

I had a pretty good dessert last night.
It had those mini angel food cake shells (60 cals a piece) with fruit on top, and like a squirt of whip cream (15 cals)

The whole thing came to around 100. It was yummy!

I have tried many of the HG swap recipes. I like everything I have tried. Too much. If you have a problem controlling yourself around sweets (as I do!) they are still quite dangerous because the temptation to eat the entire batch (Don't judge. I'm a swing binge-dieter lol) is still there!

This one, peanut butter brownies, is SUPER YUM. http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew/show/1982

Check out Chocolate Covered Katie for some healthier dessert options. She's vegan, so her recipes are as well, but many of them can be modified in a few ways.

I love this blog! Have used it many times. And, she loves PB as much as I do.

I feel you. And those little "100 cal" Little Debbies and whatnot only piss me off. A brownie as big as a postage stamp... no thanks! It just wakes the cookie monster demon up.

I know this may sound lame....but when you have a really really really strong craving.....what I do? I grab a big glass of ice water, and put something in it. a squeeze of lemon or lime, my fave right now is liquid chlorophyll with mint. I grab that glass and walk away from the kitchen. sugar combined with flour is my cryptonite! ( cookies, pastries....)

.........I kicked refined sugar to the curb....so the only thing in my house with sugar is the occasional bowl of ice cream. If you are looking for a good sweet crunch...I love raw almonds and a banana. It's sort of like banana cream pie ; ) I have also found that I love dates and dried plums.....apples with peanut butter...all yummy!
