Lisa Lillien has been writing under the moniker "Hungry Girl" for more than a decade. She has leveraged her brand into an array of
cookbooks and TV shows on two networks. Her focus has always been on cooking
good food for real people. Only recently
did she turn her attention to weight loss.
That attention resulted, of course, in a diet book, called The Hungry Girl Diet. After her recent obligatory visit to the Dr. Oz Show, her diet and her book are now sweeping the nation.
Lillien says that the secret of her weight loss plan is
that there is no secret. By eating healthy, calorie-sparse foods in quantity,
you can lose weight while feeling full all the time. She sees her plan as more
of a lifestyle than a limited-time diet. That may be the best secret of all!
The Hungry Girl Diet is simple, tasty and might even
work. Lillien breaks her plan down into a few, easy rules. Her first rule: east
a high-protein breakfast every day. Never skip breakfast! She recommends at least 20 grams of
protein, with lots of fiber and not a lot of fat. Think yogurt with fruit, or
eggs with toast. Choose carefully and you can stay within her 300 calorie
guideline.
The Hungry Girl second rule is to Supersize your portions.
This counter-intuitive rule is all about avoiding hunger. The secret that makes
Lillien’s rule work is swapping out calorie-dense foods and substituting in
calorie-sparse, yet nutrient-rich vegetables. That means lots of nutrition,
lots of fiber, lots of bulk in the stomach, but not too many calories. You feel
full, so you’re not tempted to cheat.

Lillien believes that anyone who follows her Hungry Girl
Diet for four weeks will lose 10 pounds. Then, she recommends tailoring her
guidelines to individual tastes and lifestyles to form a way of eating for the
rest of your life. Never be a hungry girl again!
