Hungry Girl’s New Book: Sneak Peek & Giveaway (video post)

by

Yes, Oh Bumbling Band, MizFit is back at the grocery, working out, rhyming, & sporting her Oiselle.

Not only are we fortunate enough to get a sneak peek at Hungry Girl’s new book, 200 Under 200: 200 Recipes Under 200 Calories, I also have a book to give for YOUR reading & cooking pleasure.

Please to enjoy the video.

Please to hit me up in the comments with why you should be the one to receive Hungry Girl’s new book.

Dont wanna wait? You can pre-order here.

(I know. I dont use affiliate links. For some reason I feel as though I’d believe a recommendation more were the reviewer not profiting from it. Call me crazy—I know Ren Man does.)

Winner announced tomorrow. USA & Canada only.


EDITED TO SAY:   For those of you trapped at work without video here are the words:

Oh, girl who is hungry
Thank you for the book!
I'm feeling so special
With my sneakpeak'y look.

I'm here at the grocery
This Miz multitasks
Squatting & shopping
And working the....glutes.

For dinner tonight?
It's page 85.
BaconBundledShrimp?!
Good gosh! Sakes alive!

With it we'll have
Page 120 I think.
Roasted veggies explosion
But hmmm what to drink?!

Page 188?
Or 191?
Can't give it away
That would ruin the fun.

I'll earn some dessert.
Work my tri's while I read!
These cereal kickbacks?
I can feel em. Indeed.

I could rhyme here for days.
I've surely got more.
Multitasking does call.
Must work balance & core.

Hungry Girl? You've done it.
From oatmeal to cheese.
All fab new creations
Under 200 calories.

This ode is complete.
Cardio calls. NO DOUBT.
Time to lunge down the aisles.
I done. MizFit OUT.

  2. Okay Miz, the people at the grocery store – are they just used to you??? Everyone seems so okay being an ‘extra’ in your show!

    I’m “Hungry”, and I have two “Girl”s in my house…

  3. I can not believe you did that at the grocery!!

    Who filmed you?

    And look at that balance, Miz!!

    I’m pre-ordering now so no need to include me in the drawing.
    🙂

  5. I NEED this…200 calorie options….that would be a no brainer, no frustrattion aid to help in my endeavor.

    I LOVED your rhyme…and the fact you did it, filmed it in public 🙂

    Thank you for all the input yesterday it really has helped the mindset.

  7. I love how you did this video while people are just shopping not even paying attention to you.LOL

    I need to win this book because after two years of eating the same things and finally hitting a brick wall, I need to change up my food habits if I am ever going to loose the rest of this weight.

    Also I feel like I never win anything because it’s always for the good folks in the US, but this is open to Canada so worth a try!

  9. I love it..you rhyme so wonderfully, you squat in the grocery….do they just know you and are used to you there and did the bagboy hold the camera for you??

    Sign me up…I am totally a “Hungry Girl” and I am addicted to her newsletters already and I LOVE cookbooks!

  10. You are my favorite blogger because you are so WHO YOU ARE and do not care.

    I aspire to be that way.

    (Notice I didn’t say I aspire to be you. I want to be me!)

  11. Seriously, all the shoppers just ignored you?!?! Were they trying to just pretend nothing was going on? Haha!

    That sounds like a great cookbook! I really appreciate books that have main dishes and sides separate so it’s easier to mix and match based on what you like or what you have on hand.

    p.s. Sorry I’ve been absent. School calls and I can do nothing but answer.

  12. I’ve said this before, but I hope someday to walk into you filming at the grocery story – I know where you shop!

    And that sounds like a great cookbook.

  13. *waves at Debra*
    I laughed the entire time we filmed.
    The husband? not so much my CamRen Man just wanted a quick in & out (which we did. one take) as I think he was a suffering from Cereal Aisle Embarrassment.

    (kinda my bad as we filmed during peak shopping hours.)

  15. You live what you say, Miz, and don’t care what others think.

    I’d love to win the book and more than that I want to be you when I grow up.

  17. Oh my gosh I am soooo excited for this book!! I bought the first cookbook (Its one of my favs!) and I’m buying this one as soon as it comes out! (because I have a terrible luck and I never win anything but I always find its worth a try!!). I also intend on going NYC when the HG comes for her book tour! So excited!

  18. Thanks for the poem.

    I’m at the office and the video shows up as a blank space.

    I’d love to win this book.

    I promise I would never again whine I’m out of snack ideas.

  19. Major LOL here! Thanks for that. I have to ask, how come nobody is looking at you like you’re nuts? I mean really are these extras that you paid to be in your movie? It was actually more funny that nobody was looking at you. They must all know you!!

  20. I can’t win (damn I need a USA mailing address for all these gives) but I want to know if you put weights in the cereal box before you kicked back.LOL

    Come to the UK and play in our shops!!

  22. Look at you taping in the grocery store! You are too funny. And I would love to be one of those “under 200” – pounds, I mean.

  23. I love that you filmed this during peak shopping hours. 🙂

    I love Hungry Girl recipes! This new book sounds like a good one.

  25. Haha. I used to be so embarassed doing weird things in public…until I started teaching. But, admittedly my shopping isn’t as fun as yours! Sounds like a book I could use!

  26. You are so funny & inspirational!

    I would love to win this book! With 7 grandchildren & just finished buying the Easter stuff for them, I am broke. This happens every holiday & their bdays too! I am still wearing leotards from 15 years ago for most of my workouts (YIKES, I know!)! Money is tight for all!

  27. This book sounds wonderful! I am always looking for healthy options when cooking! I have a bunch of old standbys that I love, but they get boring after awhile. I need this book! 🙂

  28. Me, me, me! I need a HG fix to keep me motivated and eating right through the weekends! They are my bugaboo right now.

  29. Enter me to win as I am out of creative ideas!

    Love the video.

    You have inspired me to find some silly exercise in my day.

    (not on camera!!)

  30. LOVED THE VIDEO!!!!

    Dare I *lunge* down the aisle ala MizFit? I may, just to see if other shoppers pay me no never mind as they did you!

    Still laughing over here…and yes, enter me – love Hungry Girl!

  32. hahaha – I love how you added the extra for those of us trapped at work! (*hello!) Still want to watch this when I get home, though. 🙂

    Hungry Girl’s book sounds so good.

  33. I love your poetry and lack of inhibition in the grocery store. That’s how I got hooked on your blog in the first place….you were demonstrating lunges in the soup aisle!

    I’ve already got a copy of her new book (I know someone…LOL) so no need to enter me in the drawing. I just wanted to weigh in with some lurve 🙂

  36. Yay for the posted poem. Even though I have the video/sound, sometimes it’s nice to read again.

    Book looks great!

  37. You are so funny! The people just walk by and don’t give you a second glance. Ha Ha

    The book sounds wonderful. Just what I need since I never know what to make.

  38. Your second commenter said what I’ve always wondered! Those people don’t even give you a second look! I love it!! And Hungry Girl’s new book sounds fab!

  39. I love you, I love Ren/CamMan, I love (as everyone else said) that no-one gave a crap in the background, classic.

  40. Now I’m going to have the song that was playing overhead in the grocery store in my head all day but at least by commenting it here when its playing in my head after laying in bed and not being able to sleep for three hours at least I’ll be able to blame, erm, I mean THINK of you and plan my morning workout LOL

  41. Dear Miz,

    I need the book to help me fit back into my favorite jeans! And help Husband drop some pounds to lower his blood pressure! We need all the healthy ideas we can get! Thanks!

    Love,

    JavaChick

    🙂

  42. Look at you balancing! I need to start shopping at night without my kids- unless you wanna come up with some stuff I can do while pushing a cart and keeping the handsfingertoes from dumping everything in the cart while my back is turned 🙂

    This book sounds pretty fantastic.

  43. Okay…here’s why I need to win. If I do, I will take my book to the grocery store and wax poetic about it…and post it to YouTube for y’all to enjoy.

    Can’t promise I’m bold enough to do it at peak shopping time, though…yikes! Or that my kickback form is as smokin’ hot as yours!

    (I can’t believe I just offered that up…maybe I DON’T want to win! LOL)

  46. You are one awesome woman!!!

    I have Lisa’s first book and am just going to have to get #2!!!

    So when are you doing your own book??? LOL

  48. ROTFL at you filming in the grocery store! OK, this makes it to the top ten best vids you’ve done, for sure 😉

    oh, and DO want to win… But am torn whether I’d keep the book or send it to my daughter, who is also struggling with her weight. Maybe I’d just have to buy a second 😉

  49. I really want to win this, Miz!
    I promise I’d make recipes take photographs and send them your way.

    I’m with Beanie too.

    WHERES YOUR BOOK?

    We need a MizFitness book.

  51. When I got the first Hungry Girl book put a post-it flag on every recipe I wanted to try. Turns out there is a flag on almost every recipe! I’m sure the second one will look exactly same 🙂 Great rhyming today!

  54. THANK YOU for transcribing the video! I always feel like I’m missing out since I’m trapped in my cubical right behind my boss no less! My husband and I are always looking for new recipes. Oh, who am I kidding – its my husband who does the cooking. Though I’ve been known to make requests 🙂

  55. MizFit, love the video post! I actually thought about doing the same thing, at midnight (if you saw my grocery store at a normal time, you’d understand!). Did you have to ask permission first or something? My boyfriend doesn’t want to film me in the supermarket unless I ask the store guys first! 😛

    I’ve really enjoyed all your posts lately.

  56. Man, I really need some low cal recipes. I can’t seem to make anything thats not smothered in cheese or coated in chocolate.

  57. Love the video – you are the Master Rhymer! 🙂 Did I spell that right?

    Well, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE Hungry Girl’s new book because I am coming off of an extremely self-imposed strict diet and I need help! I’ve been eating the same things at the same time, every single day. I’m scared to death of what to eat and am afraid of going off my diet because the unknown is scary – and I’m afraid all the weight will come back on. But … I know I can’t “diet” forever. I need to approach this as a lifestyle – something I can live with for the rest of my life, and I truly believe that awesome cookbook in your hands will help me to achieve my goal of creating more variety and balance in my meals … for the rest of my life! THank you!

  58. Four months ago I lost my job following a hurricane. Three months ago I started WW (to lose the 12 pounds gained from the previous month, and then the rest too). WW has been my number one resource, but Hungry Girl is a super close #2.

    The recipes she posts are AMAZING. I love breaded fried food, and her trademark “faux-fried” items are one of the only ways I have stuck to my plan!! I have cooked more meals in the last 3 months then my previous 28 years of life. I would love to have this cookbook- but won’t be able to order it (lost my job…)

    If you like fried foods and ranch… try her Faux Fried Zucchini… hmmmmm.

  59. I want to win this!
    I still haven’t found my first HG book.
    I lent it to a friend & can’t recall which one (everyone is denying they have it ;)).

    You and HG should do a book together.

    She can cook and you can help us work it off!

  60. HaHa!! Your posts are always so much fun!! I like to visit “Hungry Girl.” A writing contest she mentioned was integral in my becoming a blogger!

  61. i would love to get a book like this. i’m sure there are tons of ideas that are diabetic friendly, and i need all the help i can get!! lol

    if not, hopefully i can pick one up, or ask for it for my bday or christmas or somethin!

  62. lol! you’re crazy and I love you for that! Next time, you should get someone to dance next to you. and I say HG should do an ode to you too in return.

  65. Sounds great, although I still haven’t gotten bored of the first book (so I’ll wait till the new one comes out to buy it).

  66. I say HG should do an ode to you too in return.

    Seriously, Sophia. Why didnt I think of that? 🙂

    and these:

    So when are you doing your own book??? LOL

    WHERES YOUR BOOK?

    We need a MizFitness book.

    You and HG should do a book together.

    She can cook and you can help us work it off!

    Update coming this weekend.

  68. I would love to win this! i’ve never been a calorie counter so this would help me know how many would be in my meal! this is an awesome giveaway!!

  69. You amaze me, woman! This is my favorite video yet! I need, Need, NEED this book. I’m losing umph on what to eat and need some ideas. Under 200 cals is PERFECT!

    (and the people in the background of the video are oblivious, love that)

  70. I’m in the UK but I wanted to say thanks for letting me know to check this book out! I didn’t know there was a new one!!

  71. I would LOVE to get this book! My daughter (15) is starting to be interested in cooking healthy meals, and this would be a great one for her!

  73. I WANNA WIN I WANNA WIN! Wanna know why? Cause I am so far behind, I just last week FINALLY got around to ordering her first cookbook. Winning this would bring me up-to-date with my cooking. Carlos would apprecaite it too, he says pretty puhleassseee!!!

  75. Love the video. Wish I’d had someone at the camera while I powerwalked thru Lowe’s one day. I’m just beginning my quest for health and well being, so I need all the assistance I can get….AND I just plain love cookbooks! I actually read them like most people read novels. (I do that, too, actually.)

  78. Oh my god. I can’t believe it, that’s hilarious!!! The rhymes, the exercises, the way no one raised an eyebrow at what you were doing.

    Pure awesomeness!

  79. I am hungry and a girl. Good ’nuff?

    Just the simple fact that I could make and eat 10 recipes out of the book in a day is exciting for me. Hmm…possible blog post if I win?

  80. I love the poetry and giggled as you lunged off into the horizon– well, the aisle. In an effort to save $$$ I’ve just been borrowing cookbooks from the library. Poor library cookbooks, with all their resulting smudges and smears! Although I admire HG greatly I’ve not really followed her website/books, but now I’m very curious about what’s in this one. (Esp. pg 188/191…)

  81. Have I told you recently that you’re my hero? I’m going to come visit you and we will lunge-walk down the street together. Am so happy that there are people who are just as unselfconscious about fitness as I am, hehe.

    Hungry Girl is the reason I am now infatuated with tofu shiritake noodles. Mmmmmm!

  82. See, I always tell my students poetry can be funny and they rarely believe me, but here is proof! 🙂

    I would love to win this as I feel I am in a serious food rut and would love some new recipes to try. Plus, if I win it, I will go to the grocery store and do cereal kickbacks!

  83. Miz I want to hang with you!

    Come to Boston.

    (Is your book coming? Is that the update from #66?)

  84. You look fabulous at the market, chick!!! Looking so fit and cool with a hungry girl’s new book!!! 🙂 Rock it!!!

  86. Hey, Carla!! I have her first book and love it!! Plus I’ve been a subscriber since her early days. She just gets it right. I can’t wait for this new book!!! I would LOVE a copy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  87. I would love to win Hungry Girl’s new book! I receive her daily emails and love the tips and recipes. It would be super to indulge in an entire Hungry Girl book!!

  88. Best video yet. How were the other grocery store patrons not staring at you? That last lady didn’t pay a bit of attention even as you began lunging down the aisle toward her. heeheee…

  89. Big fan of HG–I’ll order the book if I don’t win.

    Bigger fan of Miz–that was priceless doing that in the grocery store, and especially the lady right in front of you as you lunged down the aisle who didn’t seem to ‘notice.’

  90. MizFit OUT!

    You’re too funny.
    Thanks for transcribing as I can’t watch videos at work (what’s up with that?! LOL).

    I cant wait to see the video after reading all the comments.

    Love ya Miz!

  93. Trapped, so thanks for the lyrics.

    I’ll definitely be checking out the new HG cookbook. Since I’m going to be working from home in the near future, I could use some low-cal but healthy and tasty recipes. Beyond my usual grilled or bbq’d chicken, that is. Not that I ever get tired of those.

  95. Miz- you are such a nut. I love the first hungry girl book. amazingly so does my man! If I don’t win this I will definitely be ordering it. Thanks for the heads up!

    Jenn

  96. Nice video 🙂 If I won, I would write a nice little write up about it on my website 🙂 That’s not a bribe, that’s probably just what I would do because I’d be so excited to check it out!

  97. Like others have already said, it’s kind of funny how everyone around you is just doing their own thing, like it’s completely normal to take a video in the grocery store… I love it!

    I also LOVE cookbooks!

  98. LOL Great bit! Them folks around you didn’t even seem to notice you. And I though I’m oblivious, not that much though. I would have had to remark on how cute you looked.

    That’s a lot of dishes under 200 calories. Good for HungryGirl.

  99. Why I should get this book? Because I’m not allowed to BUY any more cookbooks (as my cupboard is overflowing!) and really think I need to get this somehow!

  101. Way to make grocery shopping more fun!!!!!
    I heart Hungry Girl. Anxiously awaiting the new book!

  102. (Crosses fingers) I hope I am the lucky winner of the Hungry Girl cookbook. I’m a newlywed to exhaust her stash of healthy receipes. If I don’t find news one soon, the hubby might go back to his old ways of eating fried fatty foods. Oh, I hope I win. 🙂

    And thanks for the quick responses to my e-mails.

  104. stopping by .. I see you are still up to your usual fabulous self… LOVE IT!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!

  105. Ok, you are friggin brave, lady! LOL Last time I used a (personal) video camera in a grocery store, I got asked to leave (I was 22 and it was a scavenger hunt). I’d love to be entered into your drawing for that wonderful sounding book.

  106. I’m hungry. And I’m a girl. And this girl would like to do something about that hunger….

    Hungry Girl rocks. And 200-calorie recipes can’t be passed up. Time for some adventures in the kitchen! 🙂

    Thanks, MizFit!

  108. Cool poem! 🙂

    I need the book! My husband is drowning me in calorie laden horror with his cooking and I need some fresh alternatives to counterbalance the damage!

  111. Would love the cookbook! We are trying to get down to fighting weight over here….both hubby and I are training for half marathons this spring and marathons in the fall.

  112. Oh MizFit how your rhymes make me smile
    Filming in the grocery store! Laughing in the aisle!

    I’ve ESBM’d, Weight Watcher’d and Rachel Ray’d
    A Hungry Girl cookbook would really make my day!

    So scared was I to start to cook
    I started to panic when i’d open the book
    Now I’m feeling brave and confident and such
    I’d really like to win the book..really..so much!

    Ok that’s it lol, its getting lame, but PLEASE let my number come up this time!

    xo

  113. you guys have kept me laughing all day long.
    thanks for that.
    ALMOST as fun as filming in the aisles and dodging the management team.

    almost 🙂

  114. I love love your rhymes.

    You need to do a book of just those.

    Rhyme Your Way Fit?

    And yes. I want to win this. BAAAD.

  117. What a great book! Thanks for the video too!

    BTW, I am giving away $40 worth of greek yogurt coupons + other loot if you or any of your readers are interested.

    Greek yogurt is so expensive, every little bit helps, right?

  122. You are hilarious. I want the book because I hate to cook and if they’re all under 200 calories it can’t be too difficult.
    Please, please pick mmmmeeee as the winner!

  123. (apologies in advance to Parliment…)

    (Ow)
    We want the book*!
    Give up the book!
    (Ow)
    We need the book
    We gotta have that book!
    (La la la la la
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, owww!)

    * HG book would be nice, but equally applicable to the MizFit book! Hope it’s choc-full of kickin’ MizFit rhymes, too! 🙂

  124. Dear Miz,
    I’m writing this poem
    not to win HG’s book,
    cause I’ll buy it myself,
    by hook or by crook.
    I’m writing my bio,
    I didn’t forget,
    I’m just thinkin’ and thinkin’
    trying not to fret.
    I don’t really know you
    but I love you just the same,
    I feel better already,
    no more weight will I gain.

  126. I can’t believe you taped that in the grocery store!! So brave… 🙂

    I would love a copy of the book! The Hungry Girl emails always give such great tips. Pick me!! 😉

  128. After one of our dance lessons, I embarrassed my husband by doing the samba down the aisles of Hobby Lobby. Hey, it’s a great abs workout! 😉 And once you get that rhythm in your head, you can’t stop!

    And he SAYS he was embarrassed, but I know he was watchin’ my butt the whole time! LOL

  129. ROTFL! You are so crazy, MizFit! I love it!

    Sounds like an absolutely great book! I’m going to see if my library can get it if I don’t win 🙂 I try to keep all my main meals in the 300 calorie or less range, so this would be absolutely perfect! And — I desperately need help planning some different meals. Woman cannot live by chicken breast alone!

  130. That was awesome! I would love the book for different meal ideas…I eat the same things all the time! Can you say RUT!?

  131. Just loved the video….I need some changes in my meals and this would certainly help.

  132. Anyone help with vacation advice?
