Carnie Wilson | 150 LBS
Singer of country music Carnie Wilson once tipped the scales at three hundred pounds. Wilson was offered a contract by Fresh Diet, but it didn’t last long because the company broke off its relationship with Wilson. When she received about a third of the weight back, it was allegedly against the terms of the contract. Nevertheless, the business was kind enough to continue providing her with wholesome meals although she was behind on her housing payments and ultimately lost her home. Wilson may not have received the money, but she had already used a lap band procedure to help her lose 150 pounds.
Natalie Portman | 20 LBS
Natalie Portman earned the Best Actress Academy Award for the 2010 film Black Swan, despite having to lose weight for the part. She adopted an eating regimen designed to help her lose weight quickly, along with concurrent exercise. It was reported during the movie’s filming that she was able to shed twenty pounds at the time. Entertainers frequently have to put forth extra effort to land parts, and Portman’s $2 million performance payment must have served as further incentive. On the movie set, Portman even got to know her husband, Benjamin Millepied.
