New York Times bestselling author Devin Alexander is once again tackling the fight against obesity. Her book, the Fast Food Fix, is a strong appeal to any American who can't seem to avoid the temptations of the fat- and grease-filled offerings at fast-food chains.
Having maintained a 55-pound weight loss for over 15 years, Alexander lives and eats her message: you don't have to deprive yourself to be fit and healthy.
This culinary expert, who has authored The Biggest Loser Cookbook , The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook , and [I Can't Believe It's Not Fattening], [3] transforms 75 fast food favorites into healthy and guilt-free dishes in Fast Food Fix.
With creative and technical savvy, Alexander astutely finds substitutions for fast-food most notorious (and tasty) ingredients. By replacing fat and calories but not relinquishing on taste, you'll find recipe makeovers for Popeye's Cajun Battered Fries and Hardee's 1/3-lb Western Bacon Thickburger in addition to learning how to coat onions so that they taste like the deep-fried onion rings from your favorite drive thru.
