Why do you call for Egg Beaters or egg substitute in a lot of recipes and not egg whites? Can I use egg whites instead?

Dear Eggs-tremely Curious, Thanks for the Q!

A) From our HG… I love fat-free liquid egg substitute. (And in case you’re wondering, I like Egg Beaters Original and Better’n Eggs the most!) Truth is, egg sub is very similar to egg whites — it’s basically real egg whites with added nutrients — and in most cases, they can be used interchangeably. A quarter-cup of egg substitute is equal to about two egg whites. (Liquid egg whites sold by the carton measure cup-for-cup like egg substitute.) You can easily make our egg-mug scrambles, omelettes, frittatas, and baked goods with egg whites. The only time egg whites DON’T work as well is when we faux-fry — using egg substitute to help Fiber One “crumbs” adhere to different foods, like onions, jalapeno peppers, etc., before baking them. For some reason, the egg substitute just works better. BTW, hardboiled egg whites are an AMAZING snack. They only have about 15 calories each and they’re ALL protein! Thanks Hungry Girl we needed to get to the yolk of it!

Maintain Your Beauty In Personal Branding, Image Matters!!

How do you think are you going to be able to maintain your beauty during the years to come? Your beauty is shining and legendary. What do you think are you doing right now? Why do you think you can do without sleep? You don’t eat regularly, you don’t eat enough, and what you eat is not worth the mention. Then there is your mood, please watch it, for that you attract exactly what you radiate.

You play with your life like I used to play with mine…

You declare your starved look a beauty ideal and others will follow you because you are their idol, you are a role-model. Take responsibility. You work without rest while you postpone your health and your beauty… You expect to get it back after being rewarded. What do you think will be your reward? What do you expect from your reward? What do you plan on doing with your reward?

What you still mistake for your reward will not satisfy your longing. But you know that. You will receive a thousandfold, yet you will be waiting for happiness. In vain. You will crave even more and try even harder when the only right thing to do is to step back and enjoy the show.

Don’t trade your beauty or your health for something you’re not even vaguely able to describe. What you want lies in front of you, within easy reach, day in, day out.

Let go of everything for the shortest moment of your precious time and feel what is there for you and only for you. Feel what you are missing and what you are neglecting in favor of that fear. Let go and be beautiful. Your reward comes from within.

Surprised?

Confessions from an online Nutritionist for e-Hollywood YOU & your Personal Image brand ‘YOU’:

Health Matters Yes! But that is not the only motivator with my clients in their pursuit to what also matters most to them…

Many people say that losing weight is just a health matter. I am a professional for the past decade in the health & fitness business, and let me tell you personal looks are everything to my clients these days in the society that is fixated on social cultural creative’s. In a world of self-promotion and egos, yes your image is a lot of the attraction to your brand. Now of course my priority with any of my clients, is health & wellness but I will confess that most of my clients come to me for a response in how they want to look, the feel is potentially an ego driven motivator.

So I was asked not that long ago; do looks matter when it comes to self promotion. My study, and most of my clients yes; a change in appearance is the prime motivator.

Not always, but most of the time. We know that competence was the only factor that most people were able to perceive from a photograph. Honesty and likeability were less clear from quick photo impressions. That is a real trivia in online perception that I came across long ago, and will confess the reason why I put more emphasis on my business for online clients, as most came to me for personal self image, perhaps my own marketing prose attracted that kind of client market. So really we all want to ‘BE’ our own voice;  CEOs of our own companies: Me Inc.

Typical scene of today’s urban corporate entrepreneur on the net…”You’re hired, you report to work, you join a team — and you immediately start figuring out how to deliver value to the customer. Along the way, you learn stuff, develop your skills, hone your abilities, and move from project to project. And if you’re really smart, you figure out how to distinguish yourself from all the other very smart people walking around with $1,500 suits, high-powered laptops, and well-polished resumes. Along the way, if you’re really smart, you figure out what it takes to create a distinctive role for yourself — you create a message and a strategy to promote the brand called You.”

Would you agree, looks do matter when it comes to self-promotion we are all seeking human connection, attraction and learning new strategies to market ourselves in today’s economy!

The Truth About Zero

The Truth About Zero-Calorie Food Are there foods so low in calories that it takes as many (or more) calories to digest them as they contain? That is the myth behind diets that claim weight loss through “zero-calorie” or “negative-calorie” foods. It would certainly make dieting easier if we could munch on calorie-free foods all day. But other than water and diet beverages, there is unfortunately no such thing as a zero-calorie or negative-calorie food, according to Kimberly Lummus, MS, RD, Texas Dietetic Association media representative and public relations coordinator for the Austin Dietetic Association in Austin, Texas. Busting the “Zero-Calories” Myth Apart from foods that have been engineered to be calorie-free, like sugar substitutes, virtually all foods contain calories. Some foods contain very few calories, and we do burn a few calories when we chew and digest the foods we eat. But the notion that eating certain foods can put us into a negative calorie balance just isn’t true. “Some foods do require more energy to digest, but digesting foods that are so-called ‘zero-calorie’ such as celery or cucumbers is not going to have much impact” on your total calorie expenditure or weight-loss efforts, notes Lummus. “It wouldn’t be smart nutritionally to think that you are somehow tricking your body and subtracting calories.” Foods that are sometimes touted as being zero-calorie or negative-calorie include: • Apples • Asparagus • Beets • Broccoli • Cabbage • Carrots • Cauliflower • Celery • Cucumbers • Garlic • Grapefruit • Lemons • Lettuce • Mangos • Onions • Spinach • Turnips • Zucchini Lummus points out that you would have to eat such large amounts of these foods to make your body work hard enough to cancel out the calories that it wouldn’t be worth it. Zero to Hero Calories Although these food choices with supposed “zero calories” aren’t going to put you into a negative calorie balance, there are other great benefits to eating them. “They are all fruits and vegetables, so they are great foods to incorporate into your diet,” says Lummus. These foods are also high in fiber and pack a hefty nutrition punch. Fruits and vegetables tend to be “nutrient-dense,” meaning that they contain relatively few calories in comparison to their high level of nutrients. What’s more, they can help you lose weight. Fruits and vegetables can be just as filling as higher-calorie foods, but with far fewer calories and often a lot more bulk. If you are trying to lose weight, start by adding vegetables to your main dishes, snacking on fruit, piling your sandwiches with fresh vegetables, and having fruit instead of dessert after your meals. This doesn’t “trick” your body into a calorie deficit, but it can help you feel full and satisfied while still eating fewer calories and getting lots of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. One true “zero” beverage to make sure you are getting enough of is water. Not only is it healthy to drink enough water, but substituting water for sugar-sweetened beverages can save you hundreds of calories. Aim for six to eight eight-ounce glasses of water each day.
