Devin Alexander's Inspirational Story

Devin Alexander

Looking at Devin Alexander today, it seems inconceivable that she was once 55 pounds overweight. And yet, by her late teens, she tipped the scales at over 190 pounds. Dieting just seemed to make matters worse, though Devin continued to valiantly try the next new diet plan.

Finally, out of frustration from being deprived of her favorite foods on her latest diet regime, Devin got creative and started “playing around” in the kitchen. Always interested in food and cooking – a trait she attributes to her Italian grandmother, who taught her how to cook when she was very young - Devin began transforming decadent recipes into delicious, healthy dishes. Before long, Devin was cooking up a storm, making great-tasting, healthy food that truly satisfied. And it worked. Devin lost the weight and hasn’t gained it back in over 15 years.

Today, Devin hosts her own television cooking show on the Discovery Health channel, and she has served as Cooking Expert to Womens Health Magazine and Culinary Advisor to Men's Fitness. She also contributes to many national magazines, such as Prevention, Shape and Men’s Health, and appears frequently on network television shows, such as ABC’s “Good Morning America,” NBC’s “Today Show,” and the popular TV series, “The Biggest Loser” on NBC. Exuberant in her determination to show Americans how to “have their cake, and eat it, too,” Devin has authored three cookbooks, including The New York Times best-selling The Biggest Loser Cookbook and Fast Food Fix. Devin’s third book, The Most Decadent Diet Ever! has just been released at bookstores nationwide in mid-April.
