So Much Information!

Between the book and the "Kind Life" website, Alicia Silverstone created some great tools for people to choose a vegan lifestyle more easily! The book is filled with lots of information as well as some great recipes.

unique presentation

I very much enjoy reading this book. I read a few pages here and there every day and learn something new everytime. Love the presentation of the topics mixed with life experiences and great recepies.

Please Review The Book If You Intend To Leave One...

For those who lack time, let me sum up the bad reviews for you:

1. Either complains about sellers in the marketplace
2. Issues with Silverstone supporting PETA
3. Issues with the viewpoint AKA veganism, macro, etc.
4. Issues with the ingredients in the book

Most of this book is not recipes. That's okay, it's more a story of Alicia's struggles and viewpoints. I found it quite enjoyable, a quality read that went quickly. I wasn't looking at this to be my new Bible, however.

Nicely done yet immensely impractical

There are many wonderful ideas and noble causes in this book, however, as a normal everyday person without a personal chef and a family to feed and a budget to keep, it is highly impractical. Most of the ingredients are difficult to find Japanese food items you can't get in a regular grocery store. Like, a kubatcha squash, just try and find it or figure out when it's in season. It's a nice "pie in the sky" ideology, but that's not what most people need. Sure I want to lay off the animal products and save the planet too. It's just not doable for the average person.

vegan cookbook

Love this cookbook! Saw this author on Oprah & was very impressed with her ideas. Borrowed the book from the library 1st & then knew I had to have it. Like the layout of the cookbook & all the helpful suggestions to becoming vegan

In The Kind Diet, actress, activist, and committed conservationist Alicia Silverstone shares the insights that encouraged her to swear off meat and dairy forever, and outlines the spectacular benefits of adopting a plant-based diet, from effortless weight loss to clear skin, off-the-chart energy, and smooth digestion. She explains how meat, fish, milk, and cheese?the very foods we?ve been taught to regard as the cornerstone of good nutrition?are actually the culprits behind escalating rates of disease and the cause of dire, potentially permanent damage to our ecology.

Yet going meat- and dairy-free doesn?t mean suffering deprivation; to the contrary, The Kind Diet introduces irresistibly delicious food that satisfies on every level?it even includes amazing desserts to keep the most stubborn sweet tooth happy. Alicia also addresses the nutritional concerns faced by many who are new to a plant-based diet, and shows how to cover every nutritional base, from protein to calcium and beyond.

Alicia knows that changing life-long dietary habits is a process, and that each person progresses at a different pace. For that reason, The Kind Diet encompasses 3 separate levels, from Flirting to Superhero. Flirts learn to dip a toe into the vegan pool, reducing their meat-eating and swapping out a few key foods for plant-based substitutes to see quickly how even small changes can reap big results. Vegans get to experience the life-altering effects of forgoing animal-products entirely, while still enjoying many convenience foods and meat substitutes in addition to the wonderful grains, vegetables and fruits that form the core of that diet. True enlightenment comes with the Superhero program, based on the principles of macrobiotics and built on a foundation of whole grains, vegetables, and other yummy foods that Alicia describes in detail.

Whether your goal is to drop a few pounds, boost your energy and metabolism, or simply save the world, Alicia provides the encouragement, the information, and the tools you need to make the transition to a plant-based diet deliciously empowering.
