"easy low fat recipes" news and stories

Healthy chef Devin Alexander is known for transforming fattening foods into low-calorie, guilt-free indulgences, having transformed herself from a weight-addled teen to her current svelte self. The author of The Biggest Loser Cookbook, The Most Decadent Diet Ever and Fast Food Fix has done it again, this time with I Can't Believe It's Not Fattening!, which saves home cooks tons of time in addition to grams of fat.

Slashfood: Where did you first read or hear that if you cut 100 calories a day, you'll lose 10 pounds in a year?
DA: I read it in a magazine -- though I sadly can't remember which one -- and said out loud to myself, "No way!" It was like a light bulb went off in my head. Something about that one sentence changed my life. I was the girl who thought that I'd be miserable my entire life because people were picking on me or because I'd never get to eat a brownie again. It was so incredibly freeing for me to know that I could eat what I wanted and lose weight, so long as I changed up some of the ingredients. I'd have eaten chicken Parmesan all over the planet if my parents let me, and the first recipe I made was a non-breaded, non-fried grilled chicken Parm, saving 300 calories. Making simple changes like that helped me lose almost 30 pounds in that first year.
