Anne Hathaway is said to be on a crash diet in order to lose weight to play her latest part in a film.
The 29 year old actress has been told to lose 16 lbs in three weeks to play a dying prostitute in the film adaptation of Les Miserables.
Fans of this musical will be aware that this single mother ends up having consumption and further on appears as a ghost.
Anne is already a slim 10, yet she has been instructed to lose more than a stone for her portrayal of a starving, dying prostitute.
The daily recommended number of calories for women is 2,000 calories; the actress will be on a dangerously low 500 calories daily to get the quick result that she wants for the part.
Going on a crash diet of so few calories is far from healthy. There are many dangers associated with crash dieting, including it playing havoc with your blood sugar levels, making you feel weak and dizzy, as well as giving rise to headaches. Crash dieting also deprives your body of essential nutrients and minerals.
