The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet by Alicia Silverstone

5.0

I enjoyed this book. The recipes were nice and it gives you a new way to look at food-as nourishment and not just enjoyable. When you think of food and what it does for you and use it as nourishment you make different choices. This book does a good job in explaining that. By eating a healthy plant-based diet like we're supposed to we get more energy, better skin/hair/nails and less diseases. We also become a healthy weight and have a glow to us. The author does acknowledge that people have a hard time just adopting this diet and has three stages-Flirting, Vegan and Superhero. She also acknowledges that there will be slip-ups and that it is important to not beat yourself up if you slip-up. I found this book to be informative without being too preachy.
