Vegan Anne Hathaway flaunts 25-lb weight loss

Actress Anne Hathaway, who lost 25 pounds on a crash diet for the film, "Les Misérables," looks sporty and sassy in the January 2013 issue of Glamour.





The slender 5-foot-8 Anne dons a white tank top and black underwear that accentuate her lean thighs. Hathaway, 30, admitted she essentially starved herself to look the part of the emaciated Fantine in the tragedy, "Les Misérables."

"I had to be obsessive about it; the idea was to look near death," Hathaway told Vogue. "Looking back on the whole experience, it was definitely a little nuts. It was definitely a break with reality, but I think that’s who Fantine is anyway."

Anne lost 10 pounds before shooting began, and then lost another 15 pounds during a two-week break in filming by eating only two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste a day. Hathaway's competitive personality enabled her to stick to her extreme low-calorie diet.

"I like to fight for a job," she says. "You feel like you've emerged from the scrap, and you're like, 'OK, this one's mine. Did it. Done.' "

Transforming herself physically is nothing new for the dedicated Anne, who worked out five days a week to play Catwoman in "The Dark Knight Rises." In addition to gym workouts, Hathaway underwent stunt training, did strength exercises as well as 90 minutes of dance every day.

Anne, who switched to a vegan diet while training for "The Dark Knight Rises," has really embraced the plant-based eating plan.

"I don't go the soy-meat route; I have a really plant-based diet," she said. "So I wind up cooking at home a lot. Kale is amazing. Spelt [a kind of wheat] pasta is amazing. I can't do the white-flour stuff. It makes me really ill."

that's because educated vegans realize that veganism is much more than a diet, it's an ethical and political stance in this world since nonhumans are not treated fairly. hopefully one day you will give up meat and animal products fully. if you want to know why vegans are so "aggressive" about their lifestyle, check out vegan authors Carol Adams (who used to be vegetarian but now is vegan), and Gary Francione.

I know that, which is why I said lifestyle and not diet. At the same time I believe in respecting other people's opinions. I don't believe in god, I do not harp on people every single fucking time they go to church though.

yeah but veganism isn't a religion- it's a lifestyle aiming to decrease suffering of both humans and nonhumans. believing in god doesn't directly cause the mass murder and suffering of nonhumans everyday, and it doesn't contribute to world hunger and the destruction of the environment either. not being vegan does.

Actually no, you're just being selective and bias, a Vegan lifestyle is just as bad as a meat eating lifestyle. Both of them are ecologically endangering to the environment.

actually no lol cause veganism is a plant based diet not animal based therefore we are no longer third, fourth, fifth, etc consumer and we become first consumers just like other animals. that in combination with organic farming is a hell of a lot better for the environment than any animal based diet ever will be.

... how so?

You would do a lot more good to the world if you campaigned actively for "nonhumans" to be treated fairly. Being a vegan does absolutely nothing to help the world except leave more of the best cuts for the rest of us.

not really but keep telling yourself that. look up how veganism intersects with world hunger and environmentalism and get back to me.

at some point, you have to realize that you can actually hurt your cause by presenting it poorly.
alouds 2nd-Dec-2012 03:24 pm (UTC)
i know but i try my hardest to try to present it the best way i can while not watering it down like what PETA has done. i still advocate abolitionism and not animal welfare.

I think you just proved their point.

wonderful. have you ever heard the term 'counter productive'? thats exactly what an aggressive vegan is and is doing.

and this is coming from someone who is slowly trying to decrease their meat intake as well.

you rock sis

anyone who thinks this is especially "vigilant" needs to reevaluate their own life choices and insecurities about killing animals for their own pleasure
