Kim Barnouin, co-author of the Skinny Bitch vegan book series with Rory Freedman, has launched her own bitchy URL.

Healthybitchdaily.com contains every thing a health conscious bitch should read up on, from health and fitness, body and sex, to food and finances.

Barnouin recently hosted a launch party for Healthy Bitch Daily at Breadbar in Santa Monica, California where there was vegan food prepared by Chef Nori and Barnouin signed copies of Skinny Bitch.

Take a look at the clip below for a highlight of the event.

If you’re hungry, you might want to grab a snack first.

Donate Life Concert Series: Michelle Branch and Jason Castro

Michelle Branch admits she’s less than a perfect eater.

During a 25 things about myself post, Michelle said:

“I am a vegetarian but when I’m hung over I sneak bacon at breakfast and later deny it happening.”

And a later post on her blog, she revealed missing the home cooked meals of her mother sometimes made her go south.

“It all started on a road trip to Northern California. I had no idea what was in store for me as I innocently drove past In-N-Out burger. I can imagine if you grew up vegetarian, the idea of eating meat is unfathomable. But if you grew up with the marvelous food my mother prepared, divulging in a luxuriously rich Bolognese (with red wine of course) or once in a while a greasy hot dog out of a NYC street cart, after three years you would start to relapse too. One double-double animal style later and my tree-hugging hippy eating ways went out the window. I fell hard and hit every branch on the way down.”

But Michelle is trying to promote better eating, and even invited her fans to view Food Inc.

Here’s Michelle showing the yoga moves that will hopefully give her peace and strength to continue on the right diet path in the Posers: Yogastyles of the Movers and Shakers series.

Miami Dolphins v Denver Broncos

Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams knows even with being a vegetarian, your body can’t play professional football forever.

That’s why he plans to become a doctor of osteopathic medicine, according to palmbeachpost.com.

Wowsers!

Athletic, intelligent, and vegetarian?

What’s his marital status again?

The cool thing about osteopathic medicine is that it takes a holistic approach to being healthy, versus relying on medicine to treat ailments.

The eight main principles of the discipline are as follows:

1. The body is a unit.
2. Structure and function are reciprocally inter-related.
3. The body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms.
4. The body has the inherent capacity to defend and repair itself.
5. When the normal adaptability is disrupted, or when environmental changes overcome the body’s capacity for self maintenance, disease may ensue.
6. The movement of body fluids is essential to the maintenance of health.
7. The nerves play a crucial part in controlling the fluids of the body.
8. There are somatic components to disease that are not only manifestations of disease, but also are factors that contribute to maintenance of the disease state.

We are really liking number #4 and we hope Ricky teaches his patients the best way to use their body to defend and repair themselves is by choosing a veg diet, which can help prevent dozens of diseases, including the big killers of diabetes, heart disease, abdominal obesity, and cancer.

Can we get a Dr. Ricky Williams in the house as soon as possible?
