Paula Deen had a lot of good recipes but they're the kind of thing that you eat occasionally for a treat, not the kind of thing you want to build your core diet around. She even said herself that she's a cook, not a doctor. It was her job to show good tasting recipes, not how to lose weight. Have you guys ever heard the phrase "Never trust a skinny cook?" I wouldn't take it at face value, but it does have a little bit of merit in saying that the best tasting/richest food often isn't the kind of food that's going to keep you skinny. Name your top 10 favorite foods and probably more than half of them are going to be high in something "unhealthy". That doesn't mean you eat that all the time as your regular fare, but it also doesn't mean you can never eat them.
