My name is Devin Alexander and I'm a health-focused, comfort-food chef living my dream. Some of you may know me as the host of TV's Healthy Decadence with Devin Alexander on Discovery Health and Fit TV or as the author of The Biggest Loser Cookbook, Fast Food Fix and most recently, The Most Decadent Diet Ever!
Years ago, I turned my love of decadent food from a vice into a virtue and worked with a trained nutritionist to drop 55 pounds. My weight loss trick wasn't a fad diet or short-term program; it was based on a simple theory: you don't have to deprive yourself to be healthy and fit. Fifteen years later, I've successfully maintained that weight loss while taking a nutritious, yet enjoyable, approach to life and food. Now, I've joined Weight Watchers® Smart Ones® to provide Community members with great recipes and tips on eating healthy without sacrificing their favorite foods or spending hours in the kitchen.

At home with my teenage daughter, I usually only have time for a glass of orange juice or skim milk before heading out the door, but always keep a box of oatmeal at my desk or string cheese in the fridge to start the morning off with a nutritious and convenient breakfast. I'm excited to share my insights with the masses and teach Community members the value of good nutrition.
Whole grains are the rage right now and for good reason. Americans do not get enough fiber in their diets and whole grains are a great way to boost fiber intake! So, what's so terrific about fiber?
