Devin Alexander’s New York Times bestseller The Most Decadent Diet Ever is claimed to be: The cookbook that reveals the secrets to cooking your favorites in a healthier way.
The book goes to show that sensible eating can be healthy as well as lip-smacking tasty!
Devin Alexander maintains that with these recipes in hand, there’s no need to limit yourself to food that tastes like paper in order to become healthy and slim.
The Most Decadent Diet Ever: An Overview
This book is not a diet book, in the truest sense, but a cook book. The mantra of the book is simple – if you love food, enjoy what you love *BUT* cook it in a sensible manner so that you can lose weight without starvation and deprivation.
The book discusses several non-diet foods. The difference? This book tells you how to make these foods in a way that does not bust your diet!
The chapters in the book are divided into categories like breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, entrees, savory snacks, starchy sides and so on. Interestingly, each recipe contains 100-500 calories only. The author has added value to the recipes by offering complete nutritional stats of the dishes. In many cases, data regarding the number of calories in the traditional recipe is also available. This helps you compare the ‘calorie savings’ you are making by cooking the ‘Devin’ way.
Some examples of the wonderful dishes included in the book are Zucchini Boats with goat cheese, chocolate cake and club sandwich.
Where this book becomes particularly valuable is when it conjoins eating with losing weight. There is a simple diet plan that charts out the number of calories that should be taken in by each person. The numbers are arrived at taking into consideration factors like age, gender, activity levels and so on. A quick diet calculator helps you keep track of the number of calories consumed. The author has even provided a helpful weekly plan that can be of use to people who want to lose weight.
Exercise also gets a mention. The author has provided rudimentary information on how to incorporate exercise into your regular routine.
