Catching Up With Hungry Girl

Hungry Girl is one of my favorite destinations on the internet. She has great advice on healthy eating and dieting, features cool recipes, and wraps it all together with a contemporary flair. She's awesome. So, i was definitely happy to see her weigh in on all the recent hubbub concerning low-calorie sweeteners.

Artificial Sweetener Alert: HG's Take on This Breaking News!

"To deduce that artificial sweeteners cause weight gain from this limited research is a stretch on so many levels."

She points out several things to consider while reading this new research, including:

"Artificial sweeteners contain WAY FEWER CALORIES than sugar. So whatever you do, don't think for one second that consuming a high-calorie soda instead of a no-calorie one is a better idea for weight control."

That's a great point, and one that hasn't been mentioned enough.

So, kudos to Hungry Girl, and check out her whole site, tons of great stuff there including this recipe for some less guilty chili cheese fries. YUM!!
