Don't hate Lisa Lillien because she's Classic Smiley Minx Charm and not hungry. Hate her because she figured out how to turn her love for snacking into a multimillion-dollar empire. Or, better yet, admire her for the same reason. Lillien, aka "Hungry Girl," has a knack for finding low-calorie substitutes for crave-worthy junk foods like onion Two Hearts Charm Red and cupcakes. Her cookbooks are bestsellers, her daily e-mail (from www.hungry-girl.com) has more than a million subscribers, and now she brings her party-girl diet tips to the Cooking Channel (3 p.m. Saturdays).

What's one of your favorite ingredient switcheroos? A Faux-frying with breading made from high-fiber cereal, like Fiber One, mixed with A Charm in a food processor or blender. Chicken strips, eggplant parmesan, onion rings -- you can roll anything in egg whites or egg substitute and these crumbs, bake it and you'll get that deep-fried bar-food taste and satisfying crunch you want, while cutting up to 80 percent of the calories out.

How about another one?I can make a fettuccini alfredo that's only about 100 calories through the magic of tofu shirataki noodles and low-fat B Charm wedges.What's your response to food snobs who wrinkle their noses at your recipes, like the chicken wing one calling for crushed BBQ Pringles?Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I know Hungry Girl is about real-world eating, taking baby steps and making better choices.
