Real Simple magazine, a popular publication for those interested in cooking and housekeeping matters, has compiled some dieting advice from some of the top experts in food and nutrition.

The advice is not in the form of calorie counting or constantly weighing oneself, but rather about choosing wholesome foods that tend to be better for humans and the planet.

It’s no surprise then that several people dispensing these secrets–Alice Waters, Michael Pollan and Mark Bittman— are renown foodies that promote flexitarian eating, locally grown foods and a return to the kitchen for cooking.

In a PSA recorded for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Everett is flanked by several shelter pups.

“I’m always a fan of the underdog. And these are underdog dogs,” he says.

The vegetarian and vegan movement is often associated with a younger crowd.

But as New York Times columnist and book author Mark Bittman explains to AARP, you can go vegan at any age.

Even if it’s just until dinnertime.

Of his self-created “vegan before six” program that only allows meat products for one meal a day, Bittman explained:

“I’m 63. It’s doable. You’re only changing your diet for two-thirds of the time. I mean, do you want to live a longer, higher quality life or not? Some people say, “I don’t care, I’m going to eat my cheeseburgers.” Those are not the people this book is addressed to. Obviously.”

The Forbes interview demonstrates she can also be quite quirky about them to prove a point.

Such was the case when asked to comment on horse meat making it into the food supply in Britain and other places.

Matisyahu last made the vegan news with a declaration of his love for greens.

“I feel dark green vegetables are really important, so every day i try to have some type of dark greens, whether sauteed or grilled or steamed, or in a juice,” he told Vegetarian Times.

Potatoes wouldn’t be the same without the (faux) meat, and a reuben sandwich with tempeh can be made even healthier by substituting greens for the fries.
