Gabrielle Bernstein Credits Vegan Diet For Physical and Spiritual Health
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 8th, 2013 in Authors, Food & Drink.
Gabrielle Berstein is the author of several best selling motivational and spiritual books.
She’s been given many titles that describe her impact on those looking for inspiration, including ‘“postmodern spiritualist,” a “new role model for thirty-something women,” and a “thought leader of the next generation.”
Add “role model for flexible veganism” to that and you’ve got quite a CV.
Berstein spoke with Shape magazine about how her present lifestyle can kept her looking and feeling great and abstaining from her former life of drug addiction.
She follows a mostly plant-based diet, giving herself room to bend every now and then.
“I’m gluten-free, dairy-free, and I try to keep a low-sugar diet, although from time to time, I’ll have a bite of cake—you know, I’m human. I don’t drink alcohol, and I haven’t drunk coffee since last November. That’s what I don’t eat, but what I do eat is a lot of live foods, mostly plants. I’ll eat some wild fish, but I lean vegan. I could go a month eating vegan, but then I’ll want a grass-fed steak and I’ll have it. I eat grains like quinoa and millet, and I drink a lot of green juice and green smoothies. I’m not a fanatic about my diet. I just believe the more aware you become of your spiritual being the more you want to respect your physical being. It’s a spiritual diet: You love yourself too much to eat crap!”
