The Kind Diet

All this week, we’re hosting a giveaway and three of our lucky readers will receive a free copy of Alicia Silverstone‘s new vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet.

Every day until the end of the contest, we’re bringing you a few of Alicia’s thoughts on The Kind Diet, with a reminder to leave a comment to enter to win.

Today, Alicia answers the question of what it means to “eat kind.”

“Eating “Kind” is about being really, really good to yourself and the planet via the foods you put into your body. A plant-based diet filled with whole and organic foods will give you tons of energy, mental clarity, gorgeous skin and a zest for life. But this kindness also extends to the earth itself; by requiring less fuel, water, and other resources, a plant-based diet is much lighter on the planet. And because it is clean, this diet helps our soil, water and atmosphere get healthy as well.”

Don’t miss your chance to learn to eat kinder and help yourself, animals, and the planet.

Enter to win The Kind Diet today.

A behind the scenes look at the photo shoot for Alicia Silverstone‘s The Kind Diet vegan lifestyle book.

Everyone gets the star studded treatment in this clip-even a carrot!

The camera also catches delicious desserts, fresh produce, and recipes in the making. Looks like one clip captured a bowl with leftover dough or batter.

Time to lick that bowl like there’s no risk of salmonella from eating raw eggs!

Watch the clip to also catch a glimpse of Alicia’s hottie rocker husband, Christopher.

Although Tobey Maguire had convinced Natalie Portman to go vegan for awhile last year, from an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal in Interview magazine, Natalie gave hints that she still might do the dairy.

However, a recent interview with the La Times confirms Natalie is indeed vegan, thanks to reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s upcoming book, Eating Animals.

“There are certain things you can have different opinions on, but then other things, like torturing animals, [are] just wrong,” Natalie said and added she planned to become more outspoken on animal rights.

During the interview, Natalie was even munching on a soy cheese sandwich.

Ah, there’s no better way to show activism that by edible  example.

Natalie’s latest film, Kosher Vegetarian, premieres tomorrow October 16.

Alicia Silverstone joined the ladies of The View to discuss her newly released vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet.

Silverstone was looking hot as ever and the pictures of the food that flashed on the screen behind them were mouthwatering.

Joy Behar got some laughs when she asked Silverstone “What’s your idea of a “mean” diet?”

“I do cover that in the book,” Silverstone says, which she describes as “the nasty foods” like processed sugar, meat and dairy.

Alicia Silverstone‘s brand spanking new vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet, was released today.

The best reward for living more vegan is of course the food and Alicia demonstrates a vegan dish made at Candle 79, Seitan Picatta on LX New York.

“I want to stop calling it vegan and vegetarian food — it’s just great food,” Alicia says.
