Actress, activist, conservationist Alicia Silverstone has long depended on a plant-based diet to maintain her trim and healthy body. And though she eats meat and dairy-free, she feels anything but deprived. In fact, she believes that this type of diet can help you lose weight with ease, clears skin, ups energy, and makes digestion a breeze, and she tells us all about it in her new recipe-filled book "The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet" (Rodale 2009). We talked with Alicia about her new book, her philosophy on life, food and how a "Kind Diet" is not only good for the body, but the planet too.
