<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br>
<br>
<br>Dear Hungry Girl, 
<br>
<br>My doctor has taken me off caffeine, which means I can no longer have my 
<br>standard Frappuccino Light Blended.  Can you suggest any delicious, low-cal, 
<br>caffeine-less drinks I can find at Starbucks, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, etc?  
<br>Thanks!
<br>
<br>Caffeine Fiend
<br>
<br>  
<br> 
<br>Dear Caffeine Fiend,
<br>
<br>No caffeine?!  Eeeks!  Just kidding...it's actually no biggie.  There are TONS 
<br>of options to fulfill your coffee craving without going against the doctor’s 
<br>orders.  One thing I love about Starbucks is that they’re fantastic about 
<br>accommodating special drink requests.  They’ll gladly whip up your favorite 
<br>drink with decaf coffee.  They usually have 2 decaf coffees available on any 
<br>given day -- the house blend as well as a yummy flavored one. Look for 
<br>decaf Christmas Blend (spicy-sweet),  Komodo Dragon Blend (earthy and 
<br>smooth), LightNote Blend (smooth & crisp), Shade Grown Mexico (refreshing, 
<br>light-to-medium bodied), Sumatra (bold), Espresso Roast (intense and 
<br>sweet),  and Caff&eacute; Verona (full and creamy). You can enjoy almost anything 
<br>on the menu, caffeine-free, as long as you start with one of these decaf 
<br>coffees.  Just look out for other caffeine-laced ingredients (like an espresso 
<br>shot) before ordering.  The Coffee Bean, and most other coffee chains, will 
<br>also make their classic menu items with decaf coffee.  Look for these decaf 
<br>blends at The Coffee Bean – House, Columbia, Espresso Roast, French 
<br>Roast, Viennese,  Butterscotch Toffee, Chocolate, Cinnamon Hazelnut, 
<br>Cr&egrave;me Brulee,  French Vanilla, Hazelnut, and Irish Cr&egrave;me.  Okay, yum!  Now 
<br>I need some coffee...

<br>Dear HG,
<br>
<br>Does microwaving vegetables damage their vitamins and nutrients?
<br>

<br>  
<br> 
<br>Dear Challenged,
<br>
<br>All cooking affects the nutrients in vegetables to some degree.  Many 
<br>vitamins are sensitive to heat exposure.  Water can also wash away some of 
<br>the vitamins.  So, in the grand scheme of things, zapping your veggies in the 
<br>microwave can actually help PRESERVE nutrients, because you can use very 
<br>little water and cook veggies for shorter periods of time.  Here are some tips 
<br>for nuking veggies:  Use a very small amount of liquid, cover your container 
<br>to help veggies cook faster and keep nutrients intact, and don't overcook 
<br>your vegetables.  Fresh, raw veggies are the most nutritious of all, so try to 
<br>eat as many of those as possible.  Veggie it up!

<br>CHEW ON THIS:
<br>
<br>Today, August 23rd, is National Sponge Cake Day.  You're probably safer to 
<br>celebrate with a small slice of angel food cake.  They're similar, but angel 
<br>food cake is generally lower in fat and calories, so go for it.  We won't tell 
<br>anyone...

<br>HG Thank You!  Thanks to the 247 people who emailed in to tell us what 
<br>G.O.R.P. stands for, after reading yesterday's email.  The majority of you 
<br>said "Good Old Raisins & Peanuts," though some of you mentioned oatmeal, 
<br>granola, and peas!?!
