Hungry girls unite!
If most of what you find in your in-box is considered spam, then think of a Hungry Girl e-newsletter as a chocolate rice cake topped with fresh strawberries and fat-free whipped cream: light, but satisfying. Monday through Friday, subscribers to the free service receive a diet wakeup call with tips, ingredient swaps and nutritional breakdowns of restaurant fare. (For shame, IHOP!) A perky "Bewitched"-style cartoon gives the lowdown on which 100-calorie packs will get you through the day and how Fiber One cereal can change your life.
