Vegetarian Star

“Among the “nasty” foods is white sugar (and its friend high fructose corn and syrup). Simply put, you should just consider it crack, only sliiiiightly less addictive. White sugar leeches vitamins and minerals from your blood and bones, messes with your immune system, leads to insulin resistance, and makes you feel crazy-extreme peaks and dips in blood sugar can cause nausea, headaches and fatigue, irritability, anxiety, dizziness, heart palpitations, crying and depression. And it makes us fat.”

—-Alicia Silverstone, in an interview with Planet Green, giving examples of what she calls “nasty” foods in her book, The Kind Diet.

Alicia Silverstone was a guest speaker at the 2009 Boston Book Festival.

As expected, Alicia discussed her debut diet and cookbook, The Kind Diet.

Some might wonder how a vegan diet might change their life.

Alicia had a lot to say about what being vegan “doesn’t” do for you.

“You don’t wake up exhausted. And you don’t need coffee to get through the day. And you don’t keep getting sick and needing anti-biotics. And after a meal, you don’t feel like you needs Tums…”

For all of you enjoying your Kind Diet book copy, you’ll be pleased to know another Alicia Silverstone work may be on the way.

But first, she has to announce she has a child on the way.

“Yeah, but I want to wait until I have kids and then write a book for children,” Alicia said, when asked if she planned to write another book.

“I have a lot to say about kids, but I don’t think anyone wants to hear that when you don’t have them! [Laughs.] So I want to have kids and go through, ideally, a whole natural-birth experience.”

Maybe Alicia and Erykah Badu could do some talking about natural birth together? Erykah could teach Alicia how to coherently Tweet while doing so.

Until Alicia puts a vegan baby on board, pick up a copy of That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals by Ruby Roth to teach your children about a vegetarian lifestyle.

Alicia Silverstone spoke with the Wall Street Journal about her book The Kind Diet.

It’s no secret eating healthy isn’t always cheap, but when you compare the cost of good produce now to cardiac problems and other food related diseases later in life, you’ll find the investment pays off.

Alicia gave some tips on making a healthy, vegan diet work, even if you’re on a budget.

WSJ: Sometimes organic and specialty foods can be more expensive. Do you have any advice for people on a budget?

Alicia: You can do this and this will be cheaper – unless you’re eating at Mc Donald’s everyday. I cant argue with that, cause that’s just cheap. I think it can be a lot cheaper because steak and meat are really expensive. When you start shopping at a local farmer’s market, the food is really inexpensive because it’s in season. At the end of the day, after you take away all of the nasty foods and add the good foods, your grocery bill will level out.

“Nasty” foods being processed, sugar filled-usually things that are already prepared, thus costing more money anyway.

Vegetarian Times magazine had the chance to do a Q & A with Alicia Silverstone for the holiday November/December 2009 issue.

As expected, Alicia had much to say about her new book, The Kind Diet, including the resources she used to provide data on the benefits of a plant based diet.

Alicia cited several well known vegetarian authors for The Kind Diet references.

“I can’t remember if it was Dr. Neal Barnard who blew my mind first or if it was John Robbins. I learned so much from Dr. Barnard’s books Food For Life and Foods That Fight Pain. John Robbins himself gave me a copy of The Food Revolution, which was his next book after Diet For a New America. I love how he lays it all out: “Here’s what they tell us and here’s the truth.” My newest hero is Dr. T. Colin Campbell, who wrote The China Study.”

You can read the entire interview with Alicia in the latest issue of Vegetarian Times on the stands now.

Alicia Silverstone was recently on the The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson to talk about her new vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet.

The lights went out during the interview segment, leaving both Alicia and Craig to chit chat by flashlight.

During the interview, Craig turned to Alicia’s Pecan Crusted Seitan recipe and was horrified!

“Seitan!” Craig said, and then proceeded to do a ritual over Alicia’s head mocking the removal of evil spirits.

Did the powers of seitan cause the lights to go out? Actually, it was probably the strong winds (70mph) that have been reported in the greater Los Angeles area.

“You can’t go eating stuff called seitan. Are you mad?” Craig asks.
