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.

Exactly What I Needed March 16, 2010 Nells (Hollywood, CA United States) I just wanted to thank Devin for writing this book. Thank you soooooooo much. All the foods I've been missing since I started dieting, all now within reach, with wonderfully easy directions. I read it cover to cover and love all the introductions to each dish.
For those who think it's too simple, I say it's deceptively simple and perfectly balanced. The best possible combination in a book of classic, comfort-food recipes. When I cook up those omelets and devour those burgers I can't BELIEVE how low calorie they are. Even better, the servings aren't small, they're unquestionably filling! In disbelief, I double checked every ingredient against my calorie counter, but it's spot on.
Basically a miracle in my mouth.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Devin. Who knew dieting could taste this amazing! I really think I might be eating more delicious food now than before I started the diet in the first place, and the weight's just falling off. All these recipes are keepers and my husband loves them. When I get down to my goal weight, this book will still be one of the first I reach for.

I bought this book looking for tasty recipes to feed my family that would be healthy, but not constantly deny sweets. I just don't use it much. I guess I didn't feel like I needed recipes to make sandwiches from leftovers. I may relook at it again, but I have found some I like better.
Each recipe a winner February 2, 2010 Riterman (Los Angeles, CA USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am excited to try all the recipes in this book. I had to try the chocolate cake first after reading all the reviews and it is a winner! I have made it several times already. This last time I used wheat flour and it was still good. I made the cake, frosted it and then cut it up into wedges which I wrapped tightly in foil and placed the slices in a freezer ziplock bag. Just take one out, thaw on the counter and it is good as new.
I am treating myself to a slice for desert when I need it, which I admit is every day! I am not on the diet plan the book offers.
Even my fussy husband likes what I have made. Stuffed shells,eggplant Parmesan,sticky buns and the chili. There has not been a loser so far.
I did not give it 5 stars just because I have not tried all the recipes yet and some of the ingredients are not at every store. Overall I would highly recommend it to anyone who just wants to eat tasty food that isn't high in calories and guilt ridden ingredients.I also like the glossy pages and photos.
I use these recipes all the time ... January 25, 2010 Payen (Los Angeles, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Great cookbook. Easy-to-follow directions. I have made many of these recipes over and over again. The marinara sauce is now my everyday recipe. The turkey meatballs are great (even BF who HATES diet food raves every time I make them). The chili is good, and I love the chicken strip salad. I highly recommend this cookbook. None of the recipes I have made so far taste like "diet" food.
Decadent Diet Cookbook makes Dad happy! January 18, 2010 Fit4Forty (CO) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This cookbook is really great! I checked it out at the library and have cooked several of the recipes including the boneless buffalo wings (which my family says are the best they ever had), the pineapple fried rice, and the chinese pepper steak. For my birthday, my husband made me the dark chocolate layer cake with chocolate buttercream frosting for my birthday - delicious! I would highly recommend this cookbook, and so would my hubby. He's always putting his nose in and asking if I can cook this or that. The tips for making healthier versions of restaurant favorites make healthy eating FUN!
