I think her weight loss had nothing to do with being vegan, but just that it was an unhealthy diet.
"I followed a strict vegan diet based on raw fruits and vegetables, no bread, sugar and coffee. But I had lost too much weight."
I hope her new diet doesn't involve meat but is instead a healthy vegan/vegetarian but it doesn't sound that way from the article. This just reinforces negative stereotypes towards veganism, similar to when the "vegan" Natalie Portman started eating meat again during her pregnancy.
She obviously is sickly thin but it has nothing to do with being vegan. There's so much pressure on celebrities to look thin and she obviously went that road to lose the weight. Perhaps she should have eaten better.
It would be interesting to see her diet schedule and exactly what foods she was eating, and the quantities.
Most people on a regular vegan diet only lose a small amount of weight, if any.
Also her diet would be classed as a raw vegan diet, not a strict vegan diet.
Argh I saw that too! It really annoyed me...now even more people will be thinking of the vegan stereotype! I'm willing to be there'd be a few people who, when they saw the article, nodded along and thought to themselves or said to their family members "I told you! I told you that a Vegan diet was unhealthy!" and that there'd be parents saying the same thing.
Sigh...
If she had gotten really thin on an omni diet, I bet nothing would've been said about it. It's one of those "look how bad veganism is" news articles.
Any diet can be unhealthy if it's done wrong.
So apparently Natalie didn't go back to eating meat, she just went back to eating vegetarian, predominantly because she craved cakes and cookies and that kind of stuff, which are hard to get vegan, on-demand.
Also, OP, she was pregnant, no need to be so judgmental. The body goes a little whack, so get off your high-horse.

In it she says she enjoys vegan baking, so she could've baked herself vegan cookies and cakes? Not to mention she's a high-powered celebrity who can probably get whatever she wants at the snap of her fingers. I'm not sure where she lives but I know there's Babycakes, a vegan bakery, in both LA and NY.
And I'm hardly on a "high-horse," I'm just saying that both of these celebrities have reinforced negative stereotypes of veganism.
