Alicia Silverstone’s favorite foods were steak and doughnuts before she became a vegan.
The ‘Clueless’ actress, who follows a strict no meat or dairy diet and is known for her environmentally friendly views, has confessed she loved feasting on calorific treats before changing her lifestyle.
When asked what she ate before becoming a vegan, Alicia told InStyle Home magazine: "Steak and doughnuts. Now I'm a total health nut. I don't get sick very often and when I do it's for a short period.
"It's empowering to know that you're responsible for how you feel each day because of the way you treat your body."
As well as eating healthily, the 30-year-old actress keeps fit by jumping on her trampoline.
She said: "It's great exercise and really makes you giggle."
Alicia has worked to reduce her carbon footprint by driving a hybrid car, using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs and has had solar panels installed on the roof of the house she shares with her 36-year old musician husband Christopher Jarecki.
She said: "I love living this way. It's so satisfying and inspiring."
She's into yoga too.
I’ve read about her in Shape magazine in regards to her lifestyle. She’s also active with animal rights and helping dog shelters. She seems to have a pretty low key life and has her act together. Bravo!

Nothing the matter with that. I was actually interested in what she was saying and it didn’t even include her sexual preferences. Unbelievable.

She’s been like this for quite a while and good for her. It’s a refreshing change for a beautiful young actress to care about something other than herself.

I’m with you vtgal: “it didn’t even include her sexual preferences.” It’s about time that can we read on what the celebrities are dong without having to read about their sex lives. Who cares- most people have one, but don’t care to discuss it.

Go Alicia! You are a good role model. Which are few and far between in Hollywood.

good for her, it’s not easy to eat vegan, it’s pretty strict. yoga, the eco-car, all nice.
but for some reason i get the feeling that if you ate a burger in front of her she would shoot you a death glare.
