    Description
    Product Description:
      

    Devin Alexander, author of the New York Times bestseller, The Biggest Loser Cookbook, lets you have your cake and lose weight, too, with sinfully tempting ? yet amazingly healthy ? recipes for America?s all-time favorite foods.

    Chef and former L.A. caterer Devin Alexander has maintained a fifty-five-pound weight loss for over sixteen years by transforming the dishes she and millions of other Americans love best into guilt-free (yet still outrageously mouth-watering) indulgences--Rigatoni with Meat Sauce, BBQ Bacon Cheeseburgers, Eggplant Parmesan, Sinless Yet Sinful Sticky Buns, and even Dark Chocolate Layer Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting.

    These simple-to-prepare recipes for the kind of delectable dishes people crave but feel they can?t eat when trying to be healthy and trim, actually can be the basis of a personal weight-loss plan. They can also be a way to add ?off-limit? 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 the most decadent dishes ? Chipotle Chili with Blue Cheese Crumbles, "Fried" Jumbo Shrimp, Super-Stuffed Steak Soft Tacos, Fettu-Skinny Alfredo, Godiva Brownie Sundaes, and Chocolate Chip Pancakes ? can lead to weight loss, good health, and carefree enjoyment.

    Great Everyday Food Made Light and Easy - 5 stars
    The Most Decadent Diet Ever!: The cookbook that reveals the secrets to cooking your favorites in a healthier way Review
    I am a habitual purchaser of cooking magazines and cook books. Typically I'll try a few recipes from each and toss the issue/book aside for the next one. Not this one!

    I received the book Friday and have made three recipes so far (breakfast sausage links, pumpkin pie bars, and herbed crab salad). Each one has been easy to make, uses ingredients that you may already have on hand, and the results have tasted wonderful!

    I used turkey instead of pork in the sausage and it was pretty good, but I suspect pork would have been much better. Next time I might try grinding my own lean pork (grocery stores only carry ground pork that's really high in fat here).

    As for the pumpkin pie bars, my husband who hates all things 'diet', loves them.

    The crab salad is great on it's own and makes yummy sandwiches (top with lowfat swiss, green peppers, and a little more mayo).

    I plan to make more recipes--this seems like the book I've been looking for. Common, everyday food that uses easy to find, cheap ingredients, with results well worth eating.

    Best cookbook ever! - 5 stars
    The Most Decadent Diet Ever!: The cookbook that reveals the secrets to cooking your favorites in a healthier way Review
    I had to chuckle over some reviews upset that it's a cookbook, not a diet book, and other reviews that claimed it's a diet book, not a cookbook! LOL!

    It's both or either, depending on what you are looking for. A diet to follow if you want one, or just great tasting recipes that are healthy if that is all your are looking for. If you missed that, well...go back and take another look. It is a CINCH though to use in tandem with Weight Watchers as the recipes tend to be 100,200,300, etc calories and nutritional information is included for easy figuring of point values.

    Some recipes use sugar substitute, and she explains that the client the recipe was created for ASKED for that. MOST recipes use the real thing so do be aware if you are diabetic that the recipes are not sugar free. However, any cookbook that can create a chocolate cake with TONS of chocolate icing at only 250 calories for a HUGE piece of cake(and Not ONE speck of sugar substitute was used!) and satisfy this chocoholic's craving is a winner in my book!
    My hubby is a Texan who thinks every meal needs to have real meat in it, preferably BEEF. But he also really needed to lose some weight. I have made most of the recipes in the book and so far, he has been happy with everything I'm made and even requests some recipes over and over. He's lost 40 pounds in 4 months and has meat every meal. Granted most are made with chicken, but beef is included 2-3 times a week so he can live with that. :) We recently went out to eat breakfast and I had to chuckle that my "I love deep fat fried food, the greasier the better" hubby commented that the eggs were greasy! It was the bacon I noticed, but we both had to laugh at how quickly we had learned to appreciate great food without all the grease! That makes me happy because I know now that this is not a "fad" we are going through, but a life long way to cook that will keep us healthy and trim. I'm learning how to adapt my old recipes to Devin's way as well. These are recipes that we are willing to eat the rest of our lives, that don't make us MISS my old way of cooking and that is the key to a life change. You have to know you can live with it forever if you are going to do it forever and Devin has shown me that is doable.

    Because of Devin, I've gone looking for other cookbooks that work for us. Many cut fat and calories by removing all the goodies or reducing them to barely tastable in a recipe and don't replace them with anything that makes up for it. Not acceptable to us. They still have to taste good and satisfy or we can't stick to the plan and start cheating. Devin's recipes do just that.

    Evelyn Triboles books are also excellant if you love Devin's books. Evelyn's Healthy Homestyle Deserts is tooooo yummy! GIve it a try if you can find it!

    Great cook book - 4 stars
    The Most Decadent Diet Ever!: The cookbook that reveals the secrets to cooking your favorites in a healthier way Review
    Fantastic cookbook, great ideas for dishes that had a lot of calories. Devin Alexander does a great job making the dishes taste great and less filling,hmmm, sounds like a beer commercial...Get this book. Look for her other cookbook about fast food dishes that she does the same thing for.
    Don't need a diet book! - 2 stars
    The Most Decadent Diet Ever!: The cookbook that reveals the secrets to cooking your favorites in a healthier way Review
    This is a book for someone looking to follow a diet plan. Not for me. Also, she uses sugar substitutes, which I don't like and don't agree with me physically. So, I returned the book. I'm sure this book is great for someone trying to find a good diet with great recipes. It just wasn't for me.
    great recipes - 5 stars
    The Most Decadent Diet Ever!: The cookbook that reveals the secrets to cooking your favorites in a healthier way Review
    After having this book for a while I am finally getting around to writing my review. We have had several of the recipes and have loved them all!
    When we had the family over for Easter I made the chocolate cake. My husband does not like cake at all. He even said that at the table and followed it up by saying "but this is good!!"
    After my husband had his heart attack he said fettacinni alfredo a.k.a. heart attack on a plate is something he will never eat again. I made the fettaskinny adding grilled chicken. When he saw what was for dinner he almost walked away. I had to get the book and show him the nutrional content. He ate it and said " this tastes like something that should be very bad for me" : )
    It's nice to be able to cook food for the family that not only tastes good but is good for you.
