About the Author
Alexandra Jamieson, CHHC, AADP, has been seen on Oprah,
The Final Word, 30 Days, and The National Health Test with Bryant
Gumble. She was even featured in the award-winning documentary
Super Size Me (2004). In her two books, Living Vegan For Dummies
(Wiley) and The Great American Detox Diet (Rodale), Alex offers
remarkably sane — and tasty — advice on how to detox, live
healthfully, and feel fantastic.
Her knowledge of nutrition has been artfully developed through
years of both professional and self-led study. Alex now commands
a matchless repertoire of nutritional wisdom and food savvy. She
is a professionally trained healthy gourmet chef, having studied at
New York City’s Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary
Arts. She refined her techniques by cooking professionally in
Milan, Italy, as well as at a variety of popular New York City restau-
rants. In addition, Alex is a certified health and nutrition counselor.
She studied with groundbreaking pioneers in the field of nutrition
at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
Alex also traveled the world, visiting more than 20 countries,
premiering Super Size Me (an Oscar-nominated documentary),
and acting as a messenger for the power of holistic nutrition and
healthy detoxing. In every country, she sought out healthy vegan
food and was pleasantly surprised to find great options every-
where. Time and again, her clients experience the magic that hap-
pens when they feel great in their own bodies. Members of her
programs step up to a new level of confidence and willingly expand
and explore bigger dreams and authentic goals.
A healthy and energetic vegan herself, Alex lives in New York City
with her family, including her vegan son, Laken, and a lively boy
cat named Sue.

Dedication
This book is dedicated to everyone who is thinking about going
vegan, has gone vegan, knows someone vegan, or was vegan and is
now dipping their toes back in the water. My hat is off to you and
your efforts to live well, be healthy, and make a difference in this
world.
And to my son Laken, who loves good food. I love you, handsome.
Author’s Acknowledgments
Writing a book is a team effort. While I measured, mixed, baked,
and tested in the kitchen, the amazing folks at Wiley were backing
me up, every step of the way. My deepest thanks and acknowledge-
ments go to the following people who made this book possible:
Copy Editor Megan Knoll, Recipe Tester Emily Nolan, Technical
Editor Rachel Nix, who also did the nutritional analysis for the
recipes, Acquisitions Editor Lindsay Lefevere, whom I was
delighted to work with again, and Project Editor Chad Sievers,
who kept me on track and focused. Thanks to the Composition
Department folks who helped with the layout and design work.
Thanks also to Rich Tennant who creates all the fun and smart car-
toons for these books.
