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 gives her thoughts on more people adopting vegetarian diets, full or part time.

“When I first started this lifestyle it was still being viewed as something extreme or rebellious. But in recent years I feel as if there’s been a shift. As we’re becoming more and more aware of how our food systems are broken (thanks to some great books and documentaries), the idea that adopting a plant-based diet is something that can make us all healthier (both as individuals and as a planet) has really been gaining traction. So, I feel like this is the perfect time for The Kind Diet. The Kind Diet was written with the understanding that people are coming to this from many diff places (meat-eaters who just want really great skin to vegetarians looking to lose weight–to junk-food junkies looking to save the planet) and we need to offer them varying points of entry. Even little steps in the direction of a plant-based diet can be life-changing. And it’s important that people understand that they needn’t be hard on themselves during the course of this journey–we’re all human and we all “slip-up” but have an inspiring direction to head in is a great start.”

Enter to win The Kind Diet today.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are really getting their vegan on lately.

Earlier this week, the couple reportedly dined at Aphrodite Cafe and Organic Delights in the Vancouver area sharing a vegan strawberry-rhubarb pie and spinach salad.

Most recently, Justin and Jessica enjoyed veg fare at The Naam, also in Vancouver.

Both Justin and Jessica have been involved with environmental activism.

Is the couple taking the next big step towards saving the Planet by eating less meat or going completely veg?

In honor of National Vegetarian Month, yumsugar.com has created a Guess That Vegetarian Celebrity game.

“With society’s growing awareness about the social, health, and environmental impacts of going meatless, vegetarianism has been on the rise. Naturally, it can’t hurt that Hollywood has a number of meat-free role models.”

There are 10 questions, and we thought we’d make it easier on you by helping you “cheat.”

For the question asking, “What celebrity described New Orleans as “the most difficult place to be vegan in the world”?

The answer?

You’re looking right at him.

Jackie Keller

Celebrity nutritionist Jackie Keller shared some tips on eating for better breast health with none other than vegan Skinny Bitch Kim Barnouin on Healthy Bitch Daily.

Jackie shares foods that may prevent and fight cancer and we’re proud to say there are plenty of fruits and vegetables on the list like avocados and carrots.

“Pull out the avocados! Rich in glutathione, avocados are a powerful antioxidant that attack free radicals in the body by blocking intestinal absorption of certain fats. They also supply even more potassium than bananas, and are a good source of beta-carotene.”

And carrots not only work for Bugs Bunny, they work for many of your organs too.

“Carrots aren’t just good for your eyesight. They contain tons o’ Vitamin A (which the body converts to beta-carotene), and may help reduce a wide range of cancers including lung, mouth, throat, stomach, intestine, bladder, prostate and breast.”

Color us turmeric.

“Season with turmeric, a member of the ginger family. Turmeric is rumored to wear medicinal properties because it inhibits production of the inflammation-related enzyme cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) – a culprit found at abnormally high levels in certain inflammatory diseases and cancers.”

“As I said, I love food, I love eating,” Natalie says.

“I’m pretty adventurous with different flavors, different cuisines. The one thing is…”

Question of the day.

Name your favorite faux meat.

Brian Dales, lead singer for The Summer Set, named some vegetarian foods you might find him chowing on after a concert set.

“I just eat a ridiculous amount of Mexican food on tour,” Brian said. “Substituting anything with beans is really easy. When I’m home I really like making pastas and salads with Morning Star Grilled Chicken Strips.”

Here’s a twist.

Brian is also really into cosmetics.

“Right now I feel really strong about cosmetic/personal care product testing on animals. The stuff I’ve been reading is awful and the tests that they run on animals are disgusting and unnecessary. I really hope this can be put an end to. Most of the companies don’t even need to test their products on animals according to regulations.”

A man into cruelty-free beauty?

Everyone loves a vegsexual!

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake grabbed lunch at vegetarian restaurant The Naam in Vancouver, Canada recently.

With all the rumors of their on/off relationship, at least we know they’re together enough to enjoy a good meatless meal.

The Naam is one of the most famous vegetarian restaurants in North America and has been serving veggie since the 60s.

Located in the Kitsilano district, The Naam is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

With both a breakfast and lunch/dinner menu, The Naam keeps Vancouver’s vegetarian food loving residents full with favorites such as the The Breakfast Dragon Bowl, pancakes, granola, veggie burgers, noodles, and deep fried tofu.
