Book: The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone


No matter if you're a full on vegetarian or just looking for more ways to add more vegetables into your life. Alicia Silverstone's book The Kind Diet will offer you new and delicious ways to prepare healthy recipes and intoduce you to a healthy lifestyle change.

About the book:

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 formthe 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.

Green Girl: Tote Bags for Easy Eco-Living

I just love Tote Bags because they make it so easy to carry all of my stuff. Not to mention great for shopping. Neutral or colorful. Work or everyday use. They work for just about everything.

What I don't love at the moment is the ridiculous price tags attached to some of them. Since people are becoming more eco-conscious and carry more tote bags, along with celebrities seen carrying totes as well, designers want to create canvas bags with a luxury price. Yes, you want a bag that's sturdy but it doesn't have to be super expensive. Below are a few cool totes for easy eco-living:
