“The Kind Diet”

Meatless Mouthful–Alicia Silverstone Wants You To Be Kind To Yourself

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, March 31st, 2011 in Actresses, Authors, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.

“I wanted people to have an opportunity to really be kind to themselves—once and for all, have everything they ever dreamed of, like the strongest immune system, the most beautiful skin, increased energy so they are just so vital, and reduced risk of illness—from the really scary ones like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and arthritis to allergies and asthma. The great news is that in that process you are also being kind to the planet and also kind to other creatures and also kind to children and people of the world who have no food. So it really just sums up what is possible through our food choices.”

–Alicia Silverstone, during an interview with Gourmet Live on her book, The Kind Diet. The entire interview with Gourmet Live is available through the free Gourmet Live app, which can be downloaded here.

Alicia Silverstone Releases “The Kind Diet” In Paperback With Soy Ink On Recycled Paper

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, March 15th, 2011 in Actresses, Authors, Books, Environment-Eco-Green, Food & Drink.

Alicia Silverstone‘s vegan diet, lifestyle and cookbook, The Kind Diet, has been released in paperback form.

The paperback edition contains the same useful information about transitioning to a vegan diet, whether you’re interested in eating a few vegan meals a week or going totally raw. The Kind Diet also educates readers on the animal welfare and environmental reasons that motivate some to go vegan.

What’s great about the paperback edition is that it was created in an environmentally friendly manner. The book uses soy ink and is printed on recycled paper. Not only does soy ink produce less harmful chemicals like volatile organic compounds (VOC), it also makes recycling the paper it’s printed on easier because soy ink is easier to remove from printed paper.

As expected, Silverstone is touring to promote the paperback edition. Check out the dates below to see if she’s coming to a town near you.

"Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook"

Kim Barnouin doesn’t think there can be too many cookbook authors in the kitchen.

During an interview with UK’s So Feminine, the co-author of Skinny Bitch and author of her recently released cookbook, Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook, said recipe developers and food writers should definitely pursue their passion of writing deliciously.

“When you find the thing that you are passionate about, go after it 100%. There will never be too many cookbook authors. I love cookbooks so much and I am always on the lookout for new ones. Finding your specific niche can help narrow down your book ideas and help you focus on creating your specific style.”

Fortunately for vegetarians, vegans and those looking to reduce animal products in their diets, cookbook trends have shown the market is welcoming this guidance with open arms.

Sophia Bush Going Vegan With Alicia Silverstone’s “The Kind Diet”

Sophia Bush is trying to go vegan.

And she thinks she can accomplish this with the help of Alicia Silverstone‘s vegan diet, lifestyle and cookbook, The Kind Diet.

“I’m slowly trying to do the vegan thing, so I’m not really a vegan yet but I’m working on it,” Bush said. “My family is Italian (and) my whole life has consisted of great meat and great cheese. I read Alicia Silverstone’s book and I’m trying some of the recipes out.”

The Kind Diet

For someone trying to slowly ease into veganism, The Kind Diet may be the formula for success. Silverstone breaks vegans down into three types: flirts, vegans and superheroes. Flirts dabble with simple vegan recipes here and there while vegans give up animal products completely. Superheroes take health to the ultimate level, mostly scratching prepared or vegan junk food for a steady diet of whole foods.

Laura Linney

Laura Linney had the privilege of working with vegan actress Alicia Silverstone during the run of the play Time Stands Still. The old saying that a vegan rubs off on everyone must be true, because Linney revealed in the August 2010 print edition of Prevention magazine that Silverstone and her vegan cookbook, The Kind Diet, have changed her eating patterns.

“I love Alicia – she had an enormous influence on me. I burst with pride over her book [The Kind Diet]. And she said, “You don’t have to be one thing or the other, just figure out what’s best for you.” I had been so rigid in my thinking about if I was going to be a vegetarian, if I was going to be a vegan. I don’t have to put that pressure on myself. I”m just trying to learn what the best diet is for me.”
