Vegan Books

The Date: Friday, May 6
The Delivery: Are You Sure That's Vegan? by Claire Gosse and 21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart by Neal Barnard, MD
Staff Pick: 21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart

The DL: We cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Neal Barnard, and we hope the same goes for his book! With shopping guides, recipes, dining out tips, not to mention a plethora of research that backs it all up, it looks like this book makes going vegan (and losing weight) a no-brainer. While we're on the subject, celebrating Mother's Day is a no-brainer with VegNews' guide to a Vegan Mother's Day. A brunch with blueberry scones, tofu scrambles, French toast, and peanut butter frozen yogurt? Count us in.

Crazy Sexy Diet

The Date: Thursday, October 14

The Delivery: Crazy Sexy Diet: Eat Your Veggies, Ignite Your Spark, and Live Like You Mean It! by Kris Carr

Staff Pick: Crazy Sexy Diet

The DL: Continuing our week of books-we've-been-eagerly-anticipating comes Kris Carr's follow up to her first book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, wherein she inspired cancer sufferers and their loved ones all over the world with her refusal to let her cancerous diagnosis stop her from continuing to try to heal in many ways; among them with a plant-based diet, yoga, meditation, and an ultra-positive, playful attitude. Crazy Sexy Diet, which will be published in January, features Carr and her trademark sass, this time focussing completely on a healing veg diet, and including contributors such as Dr. Neal Barnard and Skinny Bitch's Rory Freedman. We expect to, once again, be crazy-sexy-inspired!
