While I will admit that I have her books and have watched her show on Cooking Channel, I wouldn't follow her "diet". She relies on sugar-free; fat-free; and basically chemical laden products. The last time I watched her, she was making some type of chocolate mug cake and that's when I realized - everything that went into that "cake" was nothing but chemicals.
I saw this picture, and then went and put an egg in a pot to boil.0 -
Some times it is good to go on a temporary "diet" Good to knock out a quick 5-10 lbs. But just as important to keep in mind lifestyle changes are necessary to keep the weight off.0

I don't have any issues with her recipes. Some of them are actually pretty darn good, especially her Parm Tilapia.
But...the issue I do have with her is that she likes to demonize foods and basically preaches only eating fat free food...which is silly because your body needs fat in your diet, and many nutrients need fat to bind to in order for your body to be able to use them.
But...if her diet plan works for people then whatever floats their boat...as long as they are staying healthy.
Ok, I don't know loads about Hungry Girl, but she has a parm tilapia recipe and wants you to eat only fat free food? Am I the only one who's confused?0 -
I work out with weights and/or cardio 3x per week, also spend 1 1/2 hrs walking my 3 German shorthaired pointers a couple of times each week. My job is sedentary, but I consider myself fairly active. The book says to add 200 calories a day if you work out, so I just count my exercise on MFP. I don't have a lot of weight to lose - I'll be thrilled with 10 pounds! So far so good!
No no no no... I work out hard when I do. REALLY hard.
Edit: Not here to bash, just don't think it would work well for someone that works out hard, as the body needs fuel to keep going.0 -
thank you for that..based on what was said i thought i was doing something wrong or dangerous..it's a bit hard to know what is okay and what is not when there are so many people here with differing opinions..
I like this post! I used to read diet books for fun. Some of my favourite recipes are the curried butternut squash recipe in the digest diet book, and I also like the carb lovers diet. I like to browse through all the meal ideas, and have incorporated one or two into my diet. These two diets seem to use foods that I prefer to eat, line curry, greens, ginger, garlic, hot peppers, eggs and cheese, hummus, beans, lentils, wraps, carbs, etc.0 -
I like her ideas of "bulking" up tasty traditional dishes with low calorie foods. I like her recipes and really love skinnytast.com.0

Ok, for the doubters: she calls herself Hungry Girl because traditional "diets" left her hungry, so she started making lower cal recipes of her favorite foods that still fill her up. It's not because you are hungry on it
The point is that NO "diet " s necessary to lose weight. Eat what you normally eat just less of it so that you are burning more than you eat.
We are all on a diet in the general sense of diet being the foods we choose toeat.
We are on a diet whether we restrict calories or not according to the definition of diet.
You use the word diet as you like, but as I have stated, to many others and myself it means something else. So that's all really there is to it.....
Losing weight and keeping it off is much more than counting calories, etc and throwing out dictionary definitions, it's a mindset and changing your relationship with food. Losing weight is NOT grabbing the next fad that comes along for the quick fix. I realize this is not true for everyone, but it it for me.
No good or bad is involved here, and neither is there any right or wrong. Not everybody sees things the way that you do, and that's okay. I don't profess my perception of what a diet is or is not is right or wrong, just that it is what works for me.0 -
She once advised viewers to buy deli cole slaw and rinse off the dressing. She also uses a TON of fat free and "light" products which I find unsatisfactory in taste.
I will lose .5 pounds a week eating the real thing.0 -
I bought her book for my daughter and liked it so much I got one for myself. The banana bread is good, also the diet soda cake, my daughter served the"Swapcorn Shrimp" at a party it was delicious and I usually don't care for shrimp. That being said, it is just like everything else, use what works for you and ignore the rest0

Wow, how nasty and condescending are YOU !! It seems to me that you're just looking for an argument here. Did you not get enough attention as a child or something ?!0 -
