The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet

New Book Review

The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet, by Alicia Silverstone and Neal D. Bernard. 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.

Alicia Silverstone, perhaps best known for her generation-defining turn in Clueless, continues to work steadily in film, television, and theater.

Everything Vegan

New Book Review

Vegetarian Times Everything Vegan, by Vegetarian Times Magazine. At last! The something-for-everyone vegan cookbook! A must-have for every kitchen, this simple, straightforward compendium from Vegetarian Times magazine (the leading authority on vegetarian and vegan cooking), offers more than 250 taste-tempting, health-giving, planet-loving reasons for making your meals meat-, egg-, and dairy-free.

In his foreword to Vegetarian Times Everything Vegan, Neal Barnard, MD, founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, lays out the science supporting the health and nutrition benefits of a vegan or plant-based diet. Dr. Barnard cites studies that prove how choosing to eat vegan can help reduce the risk of high cholesterol (and the diseases associated with the condition), certain cancers, and diabetes. He also shows how a vegan diet is one of the best, longest-lasting choices for slimming down.

But, when it comes to eliminating meat, eggs, and dairy from your diet, tasting is believing. Vegetarian Times Everything Vegan offers fresh, delicious ideas for every meal of the day with recipes for smoothies, appetizers, sandwiches, pastas, soups, main dishes, baked goods, and more. All recipes come with full nutritional analyses to show just how healthy each dish is. Other features include a Menu Ideas section that puts together special occasion menus; tip boxes and sidebars sprinkled throughout the book that offer serving suggestions and break down the basics on shopping, prepping, and trimming time in the kitchen; and informative sections on wine pairing, meat substitutes, bean types, and rice varieties. As for the recipes themselves, from easy adaptations like meaty Portobello Mushroom Burgers to sublime global cuisine offerings such as Forbidden Rice Bibimbap (a crispy-chewy fried rice dish), there's plenty to sink your teeth into without sacrificing your commitment to a vegan lifestyle.

Founded in 1974, Vegetarian Times is published monthly and has more than amillion readers worldwide. Called "the Bible of vegetarianism" by Newsweek, Vegetarian Times is trusted by the New York Times, Time magazine, and CNN as their authority on vegetarianism. Other cookbooks from Vegetarian Times include Vegetarian Times Low Fat and Fast, Vegetarian Times Beginner's Guide, and Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook.
