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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet going meat- and dairy-free doesn't mean suffering deprivation; to the contrary, \u003ci\u003eThe Kind Diet\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlicia knows that changing life-long dietary habits is a process, and that each person progresses at a different pace. For that reason, \u003ci\u003eThe Kind Diet\u003c\/i\u003e 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 form the 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether 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. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harmony\/Rodale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129949962480,"sku":"9781609613501","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609613501_p0.jpg?v=1763841900","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609613501","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
