More About This Book

Overview

In The Kind Diet, actress, activist, and committed conservationist Alicia Silverstone shares the insights that encouraged her to swear off meat and dairy forever, and outlines the spectacular benefits of adopting a plant-based diet, from effortless weight loss to clear skin, off-the-chart energy, and smooth digestion. She explains how meat, fish, milk, and cheese—the very foods we’ve been taught to regard as the cornerstone of good nutrition—are actually the culprits behind escalating rates of disease and the cause of dire, potentially permanent damage to our ecology.

Yet going meat- and dairy-free doesn’t mean suffering deprivation; to the contrary, The Kind Diet introduces irresistibly delicious food that satisfies on every level—it even includes amazing desserts to keep the most stubborn sweet tooth happy. Alicia also addresses the nutritional concerns faced by many who are new to a plant-based diet, and shows how to cover every nutritional base, from protein to calcium and beyond.

Alicia knows that changing life-long dietary habits is a process, and that each person progresses at a different pace. For that reason, The Kind Diet encompasses 3 separate levels, from Flirting to Superhero. Flirts learn to dip a toe into the vegan pool, reducing their meat-eating and swapping out a few key foods for plant-based substitutes to see quickly how even small changes can reap big results. Vegans get to experience the life-altering effects of forgoing animal-products entirely, while still enjoying many convenience foods and meat substitutes in addition to the wonderful grains, vegetables and fruits that form the core of that diet. True enlightenment comes with the Superhero program, based on the principles of macrobiotics and built on a foundation of whole grains, vegetables, and other yummy foods that Alicia describes in detail.

Whether your goal is to drop a few pounds, boost your energy and metabolism, or simply save the world, Alicia provides the encouragement, the information, and the tools you need to make the transition to a plant-based diet deliciously empowering.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

The author of this book was once voted "the sexiest vegetarian alive," but the appeal of The Kind Diet extends far beyond the cover photo. Former Batgirl Alicia Silverstone is serious about helping us change our earth-unfriendly eating habits, but she knows that it's not always easy. As someone who admits that she's strayed from the vegetarian path, she knows that it's a journey to be taken one step at a time. Accordingly, her diet book encompasses three levels: Flirts (for aspiring vegans who want to cut their meat-eating by finding plant-based substitutes); Vegans (who have taken the leap); and Superheroes (who delve into the magical realm of macrobiotics). Along this ascending road, Silverstone provides not only delicious recipes, but also the ballast of good counsel about the adverse personal and planetary effects of meat, fish, milk, and cheese. Now in paperback.

    postively worth reading AND trying!

    Not a single recipe has been disappointing. If you are new to the idea of going vegetarian or vegan THIS is the book for you to buy. Never thought I could live without my steak, burgers and chicken, but this has been an awesome tasty and satisfying alternative. The most incredible thing is that I DO NOT MISS MEAT! No preaching...just a tasty, healthy way to eat! My daughter is doing vegan, while I am keeping my cheese and coffee cream....switched to unsweetened almond milk for cereal. Yum! You do feel lighter and less digestive problems occur!

    Very informative!

    I bought this book when if first came out, skimmed it then sold it on ebay. I have just started eating vegan again and bought the nook version. She has a ton of useful information in the book. It has really made me want to stick with being vegan. Like someone else said, I'm not sure where to find alot of ingredients she talks about so I havent tried many of the recipes yet. I even went to a asian grocery store to look for things but couldnt find any of them. She gives a great base to start a vegan diet with though and I'm glad I re-purchased the book. I like her website too thekindlife dot com.

    Highly recommended

    I found this book so inspiring. It was the push I needed to become a vegan, and I'm loving it. The diet itself makes me feel physically lighter and healthier. Besides that, I feel mentally and emotionally at peace, knowing that I'm leading a more ethical life. I agree that anything people do toward cutting animal products out of thier lives is good. However, People who eat fish are not VEGitarians! So stop calling yourselves that!
