'When beloved author, TV star, and chef Paula Deen was diagnosed with diabetes, she thought it might be a curse, but it turned out to be a blessing. While food had always played a major part in
her life--from offering comfort during the tough early days to making mealtimes special for her family to inspiring her business and professional life--it would now play an even bigger role: as
the key to managing her health. By taking charge of her life and making small changes--a little less sugar here, a slightsubstitution there--she reaped big results. Paula soon found herself
forty pounds slimmer and feeling great, all the while eating the Southern favorites we all love: (oven) fried chicken, lower-fat biscuits, and red velvet cake--lightened up! Now she's back with
