Natalie Portman is opening up about her latest pregnancy craving ... vegetarian food!The Oscar-winning Black Swan actress tells Us Weekly:
- “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."
A few years back, Portman revealed she decided to go vegan after reading the book Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer.
Natalie adds, “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."
Read what Ms. Portman says grossed her out when she first got pregnant ... after the jump.
- “I actually wanted eggs at the beginning and then they grossed me out after awhile. I know there are people who do stay vegan, 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.â€Â
