Natalie Portman has been a vegan for two years, but the baby in her belly apparently doesn’t like tofu.
Portman says she’s “listening to [her] body,” and her body is telling her that it wants eggs and dairy.
Said Natalie:
“I actually went back to being vegetarian when I became pregnant, just because I felt like I wanted that stuff. I was listening to my body to have eggs and dairy and that sort of stuff. I know there are people who do stay vegan [while pregnant,] but I think you have to just be careful, watch your iron levels and your B12 levels and supplement those if there are things you might be low in in your diet.”
She continued:
“If you’re not eating eggs, then you can’t have cookies or cake from regular bakeries, which can become a problem when that’s all you want to eat: I actually wanted eggs at the beginning, and then they grossed me out after awhile.”
We support this. If she’s doing what she feels, then it’s probably right. Natalie is really good at maintaining a healthy weight, so she’ll be fine!
