I just saw some food porn posted on FB for cream cheese pumpkin bars. The website it came from is called facebook.com/gettinskinny4life.
Here's the recipe: 1 box angel food cake mix- the 1 step kind • 1 15oz can Pumpkin • 3/4 Cup water • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon • 1 8oz pkg. reduced fat cream cheese • -few tablespoons of water, to be mixed with cream cheese
On what planet is a box of angel food cake and cream cheese going to make you skinny for life?

Just puke it up afterwards. Probably tastes like shit anyway.

That's the binge part. You're supposed to purge afterwards. You know nothing about getting skinny for life.

And why would you want to be, if you had to eat this combination in order to get there? It sounds hideous. OK, Angel food cake is a pretty good base for fresh strawberries and freshly whipped cream, I'll admit. Pumpkin is good for nothing. I hate pumpkin anything. Reduced fat cream cheese tastes like that paste stuff we used in kindergarten crafts class. I'm assuming this is supposed to be some kind of substitute pumpkin pie or cake. But it's not good food porn. It's the kind of food porn that should get its creator arrested. In a real-life comparison, it's like comparing the granny undies section of the Sears catalog to the latest creations from Victoria's Secret.

I like pumpkin, and I'm a fan of real cream cheese. Pumpkin cheesecake is pretty good. But this crap sounds vile.

Maybe that's how you get skinny. The recipes sound so digusting you refuse to eat them, thus losing weigh because you don't eat. I don't think angel food and pumpkin should mix.

I'm willing to keep an open mind about the pumpkin/angel food combination. But I'd use real cream cheese.
I'm tempted to make it just to give a report on it.

I'd try it but swap the angel food for spice cake mix. I think that would go better with pumpkin.

Common gimmick: replacing real ingredients with low fat (generally low quality) ingredients in foods that people want to eat and it makes them feel like they are really dieting and being "good". Not so. If you make a REAL cheesecake with the good quality ingredients it's much easier to eat smaller portions as your taste buds are actually satisfied. IMO eating foods with substituted ingredients never satisfy the appetite, which in turn, leads to eating more. I'm a vegetarian but try to be a vegan but I'm still learning so I ordered a book named "4 Ingredient Vegan" (or something like that) and one of the recipes called for tater tots. Ummm, I guess they could be considered vegan, but that just really turned me off from the whole book. Tater tots are just not something I equate with clean eating.

I tried some Hungry Girl recipes that are of a similar mindset. Yeah. I've checked out a couple of her cookbooks and while she may be "low fat/calorie" the sodium content of a lot of her recipes is insane! I also can't swallow the idea that using that much processed food is good for you. You might lose weight but your poor kidneys. . .

I must say I had no problem keeping the weight off when I was first learning how to cook.

She also lied when she said turnips are a great substitute for potato french fries. They most certainly are not! Turnips suck! I do want to find a kabocha squash, that's pretty much the only thing I picked up from HG.

A FB friend sells Herbalife and is always advertising their latest diet shake. She also raves about their customers who lost 5 lbs this week, etc and raves about the latest group workout they hosted. But then she shows a picture of herself and she's easily 50lbs overweight. And then she posts these recipes that are loaded with GOBS of cheese/cream/pasta. I admit it makes me scratch my head.

I'd be willing to try this recipe. And use DramaQ's suggestion of the spice cake. I'll let you all know if I get skinnier, or just feel like puking...

I hate these gross recipes that people are posting on Facebook! I hate the "share to your wall so you can find the recipe" crap. No, bookmark the recipe in a folder called "recipes" and call it a day. Or create a pin board. Sharing the craptastic recipe is just spamming.

I don't think you're supposed to eat the whole thing in a single sitting.
You can eat all kinds of crap and be skinny for life, you can't eat huge portions of crap and be skinny for life.

I would rather use regular ingredients and eat in moderation. I would rather of a small piece of real cheesecake than a big piece of whatever low fat concoction someone came up with.
I like people sharing recipes on Facebook. I've gotten a few really good ones. Anything that sounds gross I just skip over.
