America has fallen in love with Devin Alexander. Best known as the chef on the increasingly popular series The Biggest Loser and the voice of inspiration for millions more through her appearances on morning network news shows and popular diet websites, Devin Alexander’s delightfully upbeat personality has coached thousands of us to live and eat healthy—without giving up the foods we love. Having experienced it herself, she understands the fight against the bulge. Devin has maintained a fifty-five-pound weight loss for more than fifteen years by transforming the dishes she and millions of other Americans love best—Rigatoni with Meat Sauce, Bacon Cheeseburgers, Eggplant Parmesan, Quesadillas, Sticky Buns, and even Chocolate Cake with Buttercream Frosting—into guilt-free, yet still outrageously mouthwatering, indulgences.

These simple-to-prepare recipes for the delectable dishes people crave, but feel they can’t eat when trying to be healthy and trim, can be the basis of a personal weight-loss plan. Or they can be a way to add “off-limits” foods back into an already successful diet. Or they can simply be part of an exciting new way to eat healthfully—and with pleasure.

In The Most Decadent Diet Ever! Devin Alexander proves that even most decadent dishes—Chipotle Chili, “Fried” Jumbo Shrimp, Stuffed Steak Taco, Fettucini Alfredo, Brownie Sundaes, and Chocolate Chip Pancakes—can lead to weight loss, good health, and carefree enjoyment.

"In her latest health-minded cookbook, chef and author Alexander (Fast-Food Fix, The Biggest Loser Cookbook) lets dieters have their Godiva Brownie Sundaes and eat them too. Eschewing charts, graphs and calorie counters, Alexander uses a simple shorthand ('decadent disks,' each equal to 100 calories) that makes it easy for dieters to plan meals from more than a hundred recipes (including entrees for all times of the day, sides and snacks-both savory and sweet). Her rich version of a crustless breakfast quiche (Devin's Eggs), for example, uses fat free milk, egg substitute, lean ham and lowfat cheese to keep servings down to 2 disks each. These and other caloric corner-cutting ingredients make up the bulk of Alexander's pantry, enabling her to indulge guilt-free in everything from cheesecake and fettucine alfredo to a chicken-and-(light)-brie sandwich. With an emphasis on comfort food like sticky buns, barbecue bacon cheeseburgers and fries, deprived dieters will find Alexander's plan a breath of fresh air."
