Alicia Silverstone
Many celebrities have gone vegan or vegetarian only to abandon those beliefs during their pregnancies but not Alicia Silverstone. The new mom followed The Kind Diet long before son Bear Blu came along. Alicia remains true to the vegan lifestyle and swears it helped her lose weight. Alicia breaks veganism into three stages: the first, "Flirting," is the perfect "trial run" to see if a vegan lifestyle is right for you. Warning: this is a serious lifestyle change that can truly extend to every portion of your life. It's a lot to handle, especially with everything else on a new mom's plate.
