Confession: We love Lisa Lillien, better known as the "Hungry Girl" creator of recipes designed to boost the flavor and cut the fat. Among her popular cookbooks: "Hungry Girl to the Max!: The Ultimate Guilt-Free Cookbook" (click for details) and her sweet "Hungry Girl 200 Under 200 Just Desserts: 200 Recipes Under 200 Calories" (click to buy now). Why we admire Lisa so much: She understands just how much dieters long for tasty, low-calorie meals and snacks that don't require endless hours in the kitchen stirring, baking and measuring. So when Lisa agreed to take the time for an exclusive interview with us, we set aside our brownies pan (you can savor the brownies recipe for yourself by clicking here).

Lisa concocted her Hungry Girl brand when she lost 25 pounds.. She now maintains her weight loss success "by living the HG lifestyle and exercising." And to those who want to follow in her slimmed-down footsteps, Lisa offers this encouragement, "Change your lifestyle. Live one day at a time! Don't be too hard on yourself." Cautioning against fad dieting, she adds, "It's all about making permanent swaps you can live with forever."

As for Lisa's favorite recipe among her many creations, "Lord of the Onion Rings" wins for its fabulously clever trick of "faux frying with Fiber One." (Tip: Get all of Lisa's "faux fried" recipes by clicking here to buy "Hungry Girl to the Max!: The Ultimate Guilt-Free Cookbook.") She terms it "a Hungry Girl concept that has exploded into something more magical than I could have ever imagined!" We agree - and you can see why by making her recipe for Lord of the Onion Rings below.

Ingredients

  • 1 large onion
  • 1/2 cup Fiber One Original bran cereal
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, or more to taste
  • 1/8 tsp. A fat loss overview can help you produce a clear outline of what you need to focus on to complete your fat reducing objective if you're a rookie; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an intermediate or more enhance phase of their weight loss plan. Following are seven steps that can serve as suggestions for your own weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss applications have misled people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss programs only work by leading to a person's body to eliminate more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. onion powder, or more to taste
  • 1/8 tsp. salt, or more to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
  • Optional dip: Vivi's Original Sauce Classic Carnival Mustard

Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice the ends off the onion and remove its outer layer. Cut onion into 1/2-inch-wide slices and separate into rings. Set aside.

Using a blender or food processor, grind cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Season crumbs with the spices and transfer to a plate or bowl. Set aside.

Fill a small bowl with egg substitute. Prepare a baking sheet (or two) by spraying with nonstick spray. Set aside.

Pop-Up Tip! For the following step, use tongs or a fork to dip the rings into the egg substitute and cereal crumbs -- it'll keep your fingers from getting eggy & crumb-covered. (Don't pierce the rings with the fork; just balance them on it.) One at a time, dunk each ring in egg substitute, give it a shake to remove any excess, and then coat it in the seasoned crumbs. Evenly place rings on the baking sheet(s). Bake in the oven until outsides are crispy and insides are soft, 20 - 25 minutes, carefully flipping rings over about halfway through. Serve with mustard, if using. Enjoy!

MAKES 1 SERVING. HG FYI: You'll only need about 1/4 cup egg substitute to coat your rings, but using 1/2 cup makes it soooo much easier.
