Filled with personal anecdotes, motivational tips, and nearly 100 recipes, The Kind Diet is a fun and accessible way to begin your own journey toward better health. Whether youre simply curious about life without meat or are ready to go macrobiotic, The Kind Diet's three different approaches offer a way to choose the path that's right for you. - Kepler's Books

Alicia Silverstone is an American actress, author, and former fashion model. She first came to widespread attention in music videos for Aerosmith, and is best known for her roles in Hollywood films such as Clueless (1995) and her portrayal of Batgirl in Batman & Robin (1997).

Silverstone recently published the vegan nutrition book, The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight and Saving the Planet. The guide includes diet and fitness guidance and advice, along with holistic living tips. It "explores the connection between what we put in our bodies and what we're doing to the planet, and how choosing the right foods in the kitchen can help you feeling lighter, sexier, and more alive." She has also produced an online production called "The Kind Life."

It is described as an online expansion of her book, focusing on global warming and vegetarian topics.

I know what she means by filling lighter and more energy

@HETxBEEST Cheeseless pizza? Soy cheese? Pasta without the cheese? And don't call yourself a vegetarian if you still eat meat, it makes no sense whatsoever.

[HETxBEEST]

I'm vegetarian since I was 9 years old, but vegan goes a step too far for me. What does a vegan even eat? If I were vegan I never even could eat a pizza or a chocolate bar. Pasta with cheese would be out of the question. I don't see how it would be healthy to eat absolutely no dairy products. I don't miss the meat, but I certainly would miss the other stuff. I also eat stuff like fish and shrimp by the way, so me being a vegetarian is purely about not eating mammals and birds really.

To be healthy is not about adding things into your life, its about getting rid of things. Thats why she felt liberated. Because she no longer had to cling onto those things. Your body speaks to you. Just pay attension to how foods affect you. Research Dr sebi. He has a list of acceptable foods on his website.

Awesome!

Keep in mind, & remind other vegans in the process.. We must stay away from soy and tofu, potatoes, oats, wheat.

Those named above are starchy man made grains not natrually accuring. Its an alkalizing diet. Best grains/seeds are natrual ancient grains/seeds such as rye, spelt, quinoa, kumat.

Everything that assists in nature has a seed to reproduce itself. Best advice for us.. No seedless or canned fruit. & NEVER use a microwave! We must set a good example and do it right. Peace

@tickyul I'm vegan and I eat low-carb, and raw half the time. Next time you're in a grocery, check out THE ENTIRE PRODUCE SECTION. That's my playground.

She may not be clueless about health, but as someone who's talked about regularly eating CHEESE, she's clueless about what veganism is.
