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."

Kind of like people not being vegan, then? But I assume you'll have some righteous, pithy comment for me anyway.

i would rather you check out these links instead of arguing :) since they articulate my thoughts better than what i could in a LJ comment.

That person compared eating meat to racism, so.

What do you think of people who need to consume meat because of certain medically necessary dietary restrictions that limit (if not completely prohibit) their intake of a variety of starches and plants? (e.g. someone with a form of EGID, celiac disease, or an enzyme deficiency who cannot eat certain things without being incapacitated by pain or dying)?

that they have perfectly good reason to not be vegan cause due to the majority of our society ignoring the issues of vegans, no one bothers to ask those questions in mainstream medical science. some people (those who can't access vegan food, those who can't afford it, or those like you say with health problems) get the choice of being vegan ripped away from them. there's plenty of people in the world who wish they could be vegan but those reasons prevent them from making the choice. those people have legitimate reasons that can be solved if the majority of the world was vegan as well, but since the majority of the world is the opposite, that won't happen unfortunately.

That's not why they're calling you obnoxious hun. Of course veganism is beneficial to humans and nonhumans. So is vegetarianism, because every little bit helps. Not everyone has the resources or knowledge about food to go vegan, and not everyone wants to go full vegan because, if you don't have vegan friends, it influences your social life since a lot of places still have no good vegan options.

i agree with you but those who are privileged enough to be vegan should be cause if everyone that could already was, some of those that can't could as well. you know what i mean?
ediesedgwick 2nd-Dec-2012 02:57 pm (UTC)
I agree that that would be the best thing for the planet, but meat is a huge part of our culture and it's unrealistic to expect people to readily abandon that. Honestly if your goal is to help everyone eat less meat, "everyone but vegans is terrible for the planet" is the last thing you want to do. Lots of people consider it sacrifice to go a single meal without meat.

I mean hell, I'm a pretty strict vegetarian and I plan to go as close to vegan as possible (as in, I'm not gonna refuse to eat at a place that has no vegan options if my friends want to go there, but I'll cook all vegan at home) and I was basically dismissing you because of how you presented your point.

You know the fertilizer for the crops you eat comes from farm animals, yes?
alouds 2nd-Dec-2012 04:36 pm (UTC)
not all fertilizer though lol

Synthetic fertilizer is far more damaging to the planet than fertilizer that comes from dead critters. So, way to poison the planet there.
