Description |
In The Kind Diet, actress, activist, and committed conservationist Alicia Silverstone shares the insights this encouraged her to swear off meat and dairy forever, and outlines the impressive 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 indicate suffering deprivation; to the contrary, The Kind Diet introduces irresistibly delicious food this satisfies on each altitude—it even consists of amazing desserts to keep the much stubborn sweet tooth happy. Alicia in addition addresses the nutritional concerns faced by many who are new to a plant-based diet, and shows how to cover each nutritional base, from protein to calcium and beyond. Alicia recognizes this varying life-long dietary habits is a process, and this every person progresses at a different pace. For this reason, The Kind Diet encompasses 3 separate levels, from Flirting to Superhero. Flirts study 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 shortly how even small changes can reap big outcomes. Vegans get to experience the life-altering results of forgoing animal-products entirely, while still enjoying many convenience foods and meat substitutes in addition to the wonderful grains, vegetables and fruits this shape the core of this diet. True enlightenment comes together with the Superhero program, based on the principles of macrobiotics and built on a foundation of whole grains, vegetables, and other yummy foods this Alicia describes in detail. Whether your goal is to drop a few pounds, boost your energy and metabolism, or just save the world, Alicia offers the encouragement, the information, and the tools you want to do the transition to a plant-based diet deliciously empowering. |

 Eat Your Vegetables 2010-08-29 |
| By Dr Adam Weiss (Buffalo Grove,IL.) |
| The Kind Diet supports all the reasons why we should embrace a plant base diet beside the health benefits there is the environment and animal welfare to consider as well. From clearer skin to dropping a few unwanted pounds The Kind Diet offers many solutions for replacing that old fashion meal of meat and potatoes with healthier and brighter choices like Azuki beans with Kabocha squash!Or try the Cuban style roasted potatoes. You don't have to eat just tofu anymore to be meatless and the author share some fine recipes with the reader all while improving the well being of yourself and others. Highly recommended. |
| Superhero Vegan with a Push toward Macrobiotic Eating 2010-08-25 |
| By Julia Miller (Tampa, FL USA) |
| Alicia Silverstone's book, "The Kind Diet", is a wonderful explanation of how and why someone would adopt a Vegan lifestyle. She carries you through her thought process smoothly and gracefully. It is a great read with wonderful recipes in the last chapters, recipes she uses everyday. Sign up at her website for more info and questions. She is delightful. There is a vegetarian diet, a vegan diet and then a truly healthier Vegan diet which recommends nothing but whole grains, vegetables and fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds. More difficult to maintain, but I believe it is truly the way we should all be eating for optimum health. If you are exploring better ways to fuel your body, this is a great read! I highly recommend it. |
| Wonderful 2010-08-22 |
| By Leah M Rubenstein (Pittsburgh, PA United States) |
| Let me start this off by saying I have never written a review for anything, ever. I have purchased great products before but I never thought them great enough to compose a review. This book is wonderful. I have been interested in going vegan for a while, and I purchased the book "Skinny Bitch" hoping that it would inform me. It just sort of promoted highly processed vegan foods that really wont help you lose weight, or buy sustainably. This book is completely different. Alicia explains wonderfully all the benefits of giving up what she calls "nasty foods". The recipes are delicious, and the chocolate peanut butter cups may just be one of the best things I have ever tasted. The only one issue is that alot of the recipes require very odd foods that I cant find even at whole foods. Definitly worth the money though, you wont regret it! |
 Her heart's in the right place, but... 2010-08-18 |
| By M. Lowery (Aiken, SC) |
I applaud Alicia Silverstone for the personal choices she's made, and for encouraging others to pursue better health. But I also think this book could have benefited from a collaboration with an actual cookbook writer. While one part of the book is aimed at those just "flirting" with the idea of going vegetarian, it doesn't come off as a beginner's book at all.
One thing the book, and its readers, really could have benefited from is a glossary. What is daikon? Where is it found? How do you select it? What do you look for? What does it taste like? What should it taste like? Someone who's never had it or cooked with it before needs a baseline to work from. I know what onion tastes like raw, how to cook it for different desired effects, and how to choose good ones and avoid bad ones. But daikon? Not a clue. That's just one example. There are many, many ingredients, whether vegetables or products like Vegenaise that I've never had and could use a little guidance on. Not to mention, some of those things are expensive. I'd kind of like to know what I'm getting myself into before I spend five bucks on a jar of vegetarian mayonnaise. A glossary with basic information about the ingredients she uses would have been immensely helpful.
I'm sure there are great books out there for those trying either a vegetarian or vegan way of life for the first time. But I think this book isn't one of them. |
