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

3.0

A little intense, lots of foods I cannot pronounce. However, I did get a lot out of this book. I am now grossed out by drinking cows milk. Now I drink almond milk, and I'm a dedicated flirter. As a nurse, who knows many dieticians, I had a few issues with this book. Cardiac diets do not say add salt to food during cooking, you SHOULD add at the dinner table. You can always add, but you can't remove the salt once it's in. Adding salt at the dinner table makes you more aware of how much is going into your food and puts the cardiac patient more in control. Also, Silverstone doesn't wash her veggies because she wants the B12 from the dirt... apparently, people with a low immune system should bot be following this diet. This book is definately worth reading if you are interested in a plant based diet, lots of suggestions and half the book is a cook book, which is great!... Just a little intense and a difficult diet to follow over all.
