Love your book, “The Great American Detox Diet”, can’t wait to read this one!
Love your book “The Great American Detox Diet” but I need help incorporating this way of eating into my lifestyle. I have a feeling that this book would help me tremendously!
With an 0 negative blood type, it seems impossible for me to not eat meat. Even though I do feel that eating meat may be contributing to some of my health problems, I crave meat, . Lately, I have been thinking of my relatives on my mother’s side; they are from Italy. My mom visited them a few years back. She told me that her relatives ate, if any, very little portions of meat. Also, my former upstairs neighbor is a vegetarian. She used to bake treats for my son and me. They were mostly delicious. Maybe it is possible for me to limit or avoid eating meat. That is why I would like to check out your book; to see if it is the lifestyle for me. By the way; I just ordered your book, The Great American Detox Diet and am eagerly anticipating reading it. I appreciate you sharing your wisdom with us so we can have a chance at a healthier lifestyle.
Wow! What a great opportunity! I’ve been “leaning toward” the non-animal world for a while now, and though I’ve cut a lot of animal products out of my life, I have so many questions about how to do this safely and nutritionally. I think this book will help answer all the mysteries of veganism for me! Thanks for the chance to win a copy. And thanks for your informative web-site.
I have been a vegetarian for 15 years, and have always wanted to go vegan. I’ve tried a handful of times, but I only seem to last a day! I, also, recently found out that I have high cholesterol and blood pressure. I would guess that living a vegan lifestyle would significantly help lower both my cholesterol and blood pressure. I would love to read Living Vegan for Dummies! I need all the help I can get!
I am intrigued by the vegan lifestyle, and the more I research, the more I believe it is THE way to optimal health. My efforts at going 100% vegan have not yet been successful, but I remain hopeful that I (and my husband) will succeed.
Finding recipes that taste good is really the key. As a busy working woman, I don’t have time (during the week) to plan elaborate or complicated meals, but we eat out way too much and I need to cook at home to have control over the ingredients in our meals.
Alex has been an inspiration! Thanks for everything.
Hi Alex. I think its time to change all of my bad habits with your help..
Hi,
My husband and I just went to Trader Joes yesterday and bought all natural/organic food. Im sick of being sick. I would love to have this book to learn to be a vegan.
I am a new vegan and still learning the ropes. I’m getting food right, but having a harder time with shoes, clothing, supplements, and meds (no choice on those at the moment – that I know of). When I get a copy of this it will sit right next to your other book. I’d love to snag a free copy being a starving student.
I spent six weeks in India late last year, and the change in my diet (less meat, more veg) left me feeling great. I really want to explore this more, but I’m a novice cook at best! I need all of the help I can get!
I have read so many becoming vegan books. I am a huge fan of the Dummies books and want to much to start being vegan! I think the dummies books have great authors and I am super interested to read this one!
I would like to be vegan, but it seems very intimidating to me. It would be great to have some way to make it easier! I would refer to it all the time.
My cousin, a vegan for several years now, has just turned me on to the lifestyle. I’m trying to grasp the basics of veganism, and I know having handy reference material from a high quality and knowledgeable resource would get me through this difficult introductory phase and set the stage for the next 30 years of good health.
looking forward to seeing all the good vegan info!
I loved your first book and always look forward to your e-mails, especially the recipes.
I need all the help I can get because I converted to a vegan deit due to health reasons, i.e. food allergies. I want to understand how I can make my life beter by living Vegan and this book woud be a good start!
What a way to learn how to live the Vegan lifestyle with a free book on Living Vegan. I hope that I win it and then I can share the ins and outs with family and friends.
As a holistic health coach at a functional medicine clinic, I am always looking for good resources to share with patients – resources that teach me, too. Alex has a reputation for being enthusiastic about her vegan lifestyle, without shaming others who are working their way into health. She is a great example in the community and I expect this new book to be fantastic, just like her last one that saved my life when I was turning to whole foods and away from disease.
Hello Alex,
I have your other book and refer to it often and recommend it to many people. I would love to have your new book and learn more about your approach to nutrition and health.
Thanks for the ume-sho-kuzu recipe. What a great all purpose remedy.

I’m an off-the-wagon vegan…and need to get back on! Pizza and free food & snacks at the office have lured me to the dark side! Kidding aside, I feel I need to reaquaint myself with the basics of veganism and why I went vegan in the first place. I know your book will help! Congrats!
As an only child, I am now essentially parent to my aging parents. While they are open minded for their generation, they are less informed about their healthy options and less empowered in their interactions with increasing dependence on prescriptions medicine from their doctors. I would love a copy of this book to pass on some “gentle” knowledge to them to empower them with nutritional healing and long term health. Thank you for your offer of this, Alex.
Thank you for all the work you do to help popularize Veganizim. You are one of the crown jewels of the Vegan lifestyle. This book is an awesome contribution to the sane diet movement.
I have been following your advice since your first book came out – I first came across it at the library and then bought my own copy which sits next to my bed as night time reading. I’ve found your advice and writing style incredibly engaging and useful. I was very happy for you when I heard you’d been chosen to author the living vegan for dummies book – even if I don’t win a copy, I’ll be buying one soon… Congratulations for all of your well-earned success!
I have just become vegan over the past year, it has been quite a struggle to find the right mix of nutrients in my diet. I would love a copy of your book to learn how to balance my vegan diet, and I would love to learn about vegan protien sources.
Hi!
I really like cooking, and I’m trying to find as much interesting recipes as possible. I live in Croatia, and I’m not a vegan, but it’s just something interesting for me in cooking department. So, please choose me, ha ha … thanks
I feel awful about eating meat…animals! I don’t know how to incorporate non-meat protein into my diet and want to learn!
I’m essentially an ovo-lacto vegetarian right now, but I’m taking a nutrition class that is revealing the pitfalls of eating any animal products whatsoever. Also, I am living on my own for the first time and learning to cook; I would love to learn to cook healthy and vegan the RIGHT way the FIRST time (as well as introduce other lifestyle changes…)!
I am not a vegan, and since I live in Texas, the fact that I do not know anyone who is shouldn’t be a big surprise. But…the idea intrigues me. I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with colon cancer and I can’t help thinking that the main reason for that was his diet. I would love to experiment with becoming a vegan if I had the right tools and guidance.
The documentary “Super Size Me” is what pushed me to become vegetarian. It’s been a tough road, and at times I slipped back to old habits, but have stuck with it. My husband had a heart attack in August, Reading the heart healthy books, they all point toward a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle. My husband has now made the transition to vegetarian and we’ve both begun the road to vegan. I would love to have your book to help in the transition in keeping us heart healthy for a long time.
I’ve found that since becoming vegan a lot of my friends and family are really curious about the lifestyle, I love being able to give them quick and easy tips to empower them and show them that being vegan is easy and rewarding. I have a small library of vegan and animal rights books as well as cookbooks for people to borrow so that they can be informed. I’d love to add your book to my collection.
It would be so helpful to have a copy of your book. I’d love to have additional input about how to make the transition from lacto-ovo veg to vegan and still keep my energies at the optimal level for accomplishing all I need to in a day. Thanks so much!
I have been a fan of Alex’s since “Supersize Me”.
I also enjoyed seeing her on “How Do I Look?”!!! Now I love getting inspiring e-mails on healthy eating and lifestyle choices. I am not vegan, but am certainly a whole foods eater and her recipes and approach resonate with me. Thank you, Alex!
I’m a huge fan and owner of your first book! I’m a lacto-ovo vegetarian and am highly considering going vegan. I would love to have your book as a useful resource to guide me through it!
I’d love to learn how to be an effective vegan. Over the past 15 months I’ve working on a new approach to what I eat and what I feed my family and friends after consulting a muscle tester/nutritionist. I’ve been trying to eat veggies that I grow and that grow locally. Having recently discovered your website, I’ve been intrigued by what you advocate and would be thrilled to have a copy of your book.
Hope you have a fun and productive time in upstate NY. (I live in the Finger Lakes region.)
I choose to not to become a full vegan but i practice it at least 3 days a week. It has help me a lot with weight loss and also with energy. Alex i also like the way you changed your outlook to empower women, I needed it at the same time you updated. I just wanted to say thank you.
I’ve been mostly vegetarian for years, occasionally falling from grace eating fish. My emphasis now is going vegan, which I mostly do. As a cancer survivor of a tiny growth the size of a lentil bean, that was removed, I am a whole lot more aware of what I eat may impact my general immune system. I want to try and stay on course, and I’m hoping that this book will lead me in that direction. Recipes are great, and I love experimenting. But what I’m really looking for is a lifestyle change and I’m hoping that this book has that component. I want to escape the curse that diet may be responsible of one being a diabetic, a cancer patient, or having coronary heart disease. I want a life well spent, active and beating someone a lot at Tennis.
As a busy mother of 3 I’m looking for a guide to help with my new Vegan lifestyle. I want easy to make and travel with if needed, food that the kids and husband will eat, and most importantly food that will help instill healthy choices in my children so that they may get a fantastic jumpstart in life and may even pass along to their friends.
Would LOVE to learn what I need to do to serve my family and myself Vegan choices! As an aspiring Vegan, the wife of a Vegetarian who has cholestoral through the roof, and the mother of a 2 and 4 year old who are picky eaters – but love hot dogs and ham(!), I am desparate to give us all a good foundation for life and free us from illness and disease. I’m convinced Veganism is for us, but need to educate myself desparately and move past Kraft Dinner and french fries!! Can’t wait to read your book!
Hi Alex!
I’m in the progress of reading your other book (The Great American Detox Diet) and am thoroughly enjoying it — hardly a few pages in, I got out a spiral-bound notebook to start jotting down notes and ideas!
I have never been a vegan or vegetarian; as a young-one this was limited mainly by restrictions by the household chef/mother (with 6+ mouths to feed, special meals and “unnecessary” dietary restrictions were a no-go). I have always been interested, but I didn’t know how to attempt vegetarianism or being vegan on my own. Now that I am away for school and attempting to feed myself (balancing being a broke student while wanting to eat healthily), I want to set forth on this journey — which I definitely need a bit of help with! (Hence, Living Vegan for *Dummies* would be great!) Looking forward to breaking out a new spiral-bound binder for notes.
Thanks Alex!
I so enjoy your emails. I first heard you speak a few years ago at Healthy Lifestyle Expo. Burbank, Ca. put on by Jeff and Sabrina, of Vegsource. Thank you for the detox recipes and drinks, they give me “hope” at age 74, still trying to figure out why I have so much pain in my legs. I’m reading your book “The Great American Detox Diet” now and would love a copy of your new book, if I’m lucky enough to win. I was not on the computer yesterday, hope this is not too late. Thank you for your passion and knowledge in health and wanting to help others.
I was a vegan a few years ago before I was diagnosed with hashimotos thyroiditis and decided to cut soy out of my diet. I had read multiple conflicting studies that stated soy was bad for thyroid disorders and breast cancer. I’ve tried a number of times to go back to being vegan without the soy and it’s just been tiresome trying to plan an adequate diet with substance with out soy products. Needless to say I haven’t been able to successfully transition back to being vegan even though I’d love to. I would love a copy of this book to learn how to live a balanced vegan life.
Hi: Love your detox book. Thankyou so much for talking to me about IIN. I am enrolled and absolutely love it. I am pursuing my passion. All my best to you in your future endeavors. God Bless you for the work you do.
I was always interested in learning about vegan diets. WE tried some vegan chiles meals during the holidays and the whole family loved it.Would like to learn more. Gaylon
What a perfect book to give to those people who ask “So what do you eat?” when you tell them you are vegan.
I’ve recently realize that it’s just time for me to make a change, that’s all. Simple, but true. Your book looks wonderful!
Just caught part of your interview on npr. Great job! I’m glad to have found your blog and look forward to reading it.
I have just been recently diagnosed with PBC-Primary Biliary Cirohsis. I am waiting for results of biopsy. My primary care doctor is a big supported of a whole foods plant based diet. So I am trying hard.. I am determined that switching to a vegan diet will help me either slow down the progression or maybe even reverse this condition. However, trying to get support for this from my Liver specialist at a major univeristy hopsital is not going to be easy.. I just heard your interview on NPR station in western north carolina.. I am going to share your website with everyone..
I’ve been on and off vegetarian since 7th grade. I now have two out of three daughters who are vegetarian, so I’m excited about really getting serious about getting the whole family on board. I would love to read your book.
After my Mom was diagnosed with colon cancer I have read tons of information about nutrition to try and help her. Unfortunately it was too late and my Mom passed away. I know feel I need to continue my research to help all of my family. I have gone organic and started using brewers yeast and wheat grass, but feel there is still more I can learn and do. Heard some of you on XM on Broadminded and am very interested.
I love your Great American Detox book; looking forward to this one; would make a great companion on the bookshelf. Always looking for vegan info.
