Her Clueless character, Cher, would be way proud. Fourteen years after Alicia Silverstone, 32, made the world fall in love with a soup-can-collecting Beverly Hills teen, the actress is now taking on a weightier task: Educating women about healthy eating.
Over a vegan lunch in Los Angeles, Alicia gave us a sneak peek at her first book, The Kind Diet, which is part healthy-eating treatise, part diet plan, and chock-full of recipes. She also shared the many ways that down-to-earth living makes her glow.
Q: Your book, The Kind Diet, comes out next month. What excites you most about it?
A: I’m excited about presenting something that can make you feel amazing and look your best. Once you’re informed, then you can be really gentle and kind to yourself, by giving yourself all the gifts life has to offer—like mental clarity and vitality—all while making the planet better.
Q: Do you think you’d write another book?
A: Yeah, but I want to wait until I have kids and then write a book for children. I have a lot to say about kids, but I don’t think anyone wants to hear that when you don’t have them! [Laughs.] So I want to have kids and go through, ideally, a whole natural-birth experience.
Q: Have you seen Ricki Lake’s documentary, The Business of Being Born?
A: Yes! Isn’t it beautiful? I think I’ve had baby fever since I was 2. I know I want to be a mom, and I know my husband [musician Christopher Jarecki] will be a great dad. But then there’s the reality part, where I also have all these other things I feel so passionately about, so we’re not at all trying. [Laughs.] I think I might be ready maybe next year.

A bazillion yummy worms in her garden! I gotta love Alica Silverstone for that!
I love her. I always have. She is beautiful inside and out. She is a good role model for females in today’s society.
Thank you very much for the new information in medicine and health! I’m a doctor, that’s why it is very important for me. Can you answer my few questions in ICQ?
I would like a copy of her new book. Some handbags of bamboo and hemp would be cool.
I would enjoy helping her work in her garden, on those hot days,too!
Silverstone is so freaking awesome.
What a great lady she turned out to be! The world can learn a lot from her. I wish her all the best.
As Ted Kennedy said,“For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.“
I hope Alicia becomes that great.
Alicia is my fav actress. She is so talented and kind. I can’t wait for her book since I’m an animal loving vegan too. I love reading interviews with animal friendly people.
Thank you for interviewing her!
Alicia has always been one of my favorite actresses ever. I am a vegan and animal lover too. I can’t wait to get her book!!
I would like to know how Alicia Silverstone transitioned to a vegan diet and whether she is a raw vegan. Also, would Alicia recommend some great cookbooks for beginning raw vegans please?
I’m so happy that she wrote a book about how to be Vegan, I’m a vegetarian animal lover and I’d like to make the next step and go vegan. Alicia is a great role model, I’ve loved her since Clueless and Blast from the Past. I hope she stars in more movies and gets the Vegan message out there in a huge way.
i love her.
I´ll definitely buy her book!
Properly planned vegan diets are healthful and have been found to satisfy nutritional needs.
I also found information about health on the site: Yellow documents. They’ve a lot of document types from different subjects.
Cheers,

She really is just adorable! I have been playing with the idea of going vegan and I really think I could if it were not for steak. Ug. I do however love natural living and really love what she is saying and her beliefs :) How cool! I wonder if she even takes a probiotic? Our family LOVES our Vidazorb chewable probiotic and after a bunch of reading on their benefits, we now take them every day. It just amazes me how much they can help our bodies be what and feel the way we were meant to!
I will buy it too, i don´t live in the us, but i´ve seen most of Alicia movies and i really adore her, i used to be vegetarian, when i was single, and i was healthier, right now, i`m heavier, sick, still married, i want to be healthy again, i hope her book will help me.
Great post and comments. When it comes to health it seems to me old fashioned and natural is best.
I know what you mean about mental clarity, isn’t it wonderful.
Sometime the simple things are best. Great post Sparkle you will Cheers Sussan
Great Article, keep n mind though there are lots of bad vegan diets out there to.
I am a 42 yr old mom of two boys. I am heavy, but enjoy excercising and good for me food. I am however, a total carnivore and feel awful most of the time. I have been doing a lot of research about living a vegan lifestyle and need tips on how to start. Does anyone have any good ideas on how to begin? I just ordered Alicia’s book yesterday and thought I would start there. I really want to feel and look my best for me and my children. Thank you for listening.
