How Alicia Slimmed Down

Alicia SilverstoneIf the phrase 'you are what you eat' is any indication...

Alicia Silverstone is one healthy chick.

After Clueless, she came into a bit of stick for going slightly curvy - thanks to "steak and doughnuts" - but then she slimmed down and now we know how...

"I'm a total health nut," Alicia told InStyle Home magazine. "I don't get sick very often and when I do, it's for short periods."

In fact, the 30 year old is such a believer of healthy eating, she became a vegan back in 2002.

She told the mag: "I love living this way. It's so satisfying and inspiring.

"It's empowering to know that you're responsible for how you feel each day because of the way you treat your body."

But it doesn't stop there...

Alicia is also a devoted animal rights activist, and was even voted sexiest female vegetarian by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) in 2004.

She continued: "It's just so lovely to appreciate the trees and birds and animals.

"Everything you do in the name of the environment not only saves your health, it saves your soul."

Bless.
