Explore the different of a plant-based diet and learn how eliminating harmful foods like meat, dairy, refined sugar, and over-processed products can have amazing benefits for your health, your appearance, and even the planet! By enjoying an endless variety of deeply nourishing grains, vegetables, and other delectable whole foods – including irresistibly sweet treats you can eat every single day – you’ll say goodbye to dieting forever. Inside, Alicia Silverstone shares the secrets to her radiant beauty and slim physique and proves that a plant-based diet is the most compassionately delicious way to save (and savor) the planet and transform yourself inside and out.

In The Kind Diet, actress, activist and committed conservationist Alicia Silverstone shares her 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 cornerstones 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 lifelong dietary habits is a process and that each person progresses at a different pace. For that reason, The Kind Diet encompasses three 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 the 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. 308 pages.
