Since adopting a vegan lifestyle in 2011, Natalie Portman has become a prominent advocate for plant-based eating, a significant evolution from her younger years as a vegetarian. The diet Natalie Portman follows is rooted in ethical and health choices, though she has adjusted her nutrition dramatically for specific movie roles.

To portray the tormented ballerina Nina Sayers, Natalie Portman lost 20 pounds over six months by following a severely restrictive, 1,200-calorie vegan diet. This extreme nutritional regimen was paired with up to eight hours of intense daily rehearsals to mimic the arduous reality of a professional dancer.
