Alicia Silverstone is a devout vegan and has a new vegan cookbook coming out. But that doesn’t mean she’s perfect, and she admits that she sometimes slips up and cheats on her diet. Dairy is her weakness.

"If I was at a party and there was a tray of cheese sitting there and I had had drinks, then I might have a bite," said Silverstone.

Alicia doesn’t beat herself up too much for occasionally indulging:

"It's human. It's a really good reminder that sometimes you need to have what you remember is this good thing. Because then you have it, and you're like, 'Actually that wasn't better than the recipes in my book.'"

She credits her vegan diet for helping her maintain her great health and looks:

"I haven't been to a doctor in 13 years. I don't have to worry about calories, I don't have to worry about how I look because I know that what I do makes me look my best."

We think she has a fabulous attitude about eating — do your best, but if you slip up every once in a while, don’t hate yourself too much for it!
