Natascha Kampusch Movie Leads to Actress' Dramatic Weight Loss



Natascha Kampusch was kidnapped at the age of 10 and held in captivity for eight years. The new movie, 3096 is about the life that she led while held captive by Wolfgang Priklopi. Northern Irish actress, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, was recently spotted at the London Film Festival looking like dangerous thin but has revealed that it is all for the role in the movie.

The 30-year-old actress is well-known for her role in Lead Balloon and has never been overweight. However, recently she looks much thinner – almost as if she is anorexic. The star revealed to The Independent that it is method acting. She has created a similar situation to understand how the young Kampusch must have felt during her ordeal.

The film 3096 has gained the title from the number of days that Ms Kampusch was held in captivity. It goes through her life while being held captive in a basement, never seeing daylight and only knowing her captor, until escaping on August 23, 2006. The case sparked media interest instantly, especially since Priklopi committed suicide that day.

This is the first big break that Cambell-Hughes has gained after the TV show Lead Balloon and she has pulled out all the stops to show how committed she is. She was spotted at the premiere of Frankieweenie by Tim Burton, wearing a sheer light blue dress that left nothing to the imagination. Her spine and skeletal figure could easily be seen, sparking interest and questions immediately. She has also bleached her hair blonde for the role.

While Campbell-Hughes has slimmed down for her role as Natascha Kampusch, she is not the only actor to ever do this. Matthew McConaughey has also recently showed his extremely weight loss for his movie The Dallas Buyer’s Club which is about an AIDs sufferer. Renee Zellweger did the opposite to gain weight for her role in the Bridget Jones’ Diary movies on two occasions.

Weight Watchers Recipe: Curried Butternut Squash Soup

Image
The cold weather is closing in. It’s at the point where we’re looking at soups, stews and dishes to make in the slow cooker. We need something hot when it comes to dinner time. Image: Pixabay We decided to do a curried butternut squash soup, and I’ve got to admit that it is absolutely delicious. It’s definitely one to try again. The best thing is that you can make it as mild or as spicy as you want. We used a mild curry powder because my husband isn’t a fan of very spicy food, and neither is my daughter, really. If you’re on Weight Watchers, the recipe is zero points once split between six (the number it serves) and great for the Simple Start/Filling and Healthy plans. The only downside is the cooking time. It takes an hour to cook because the butternut squash needs softening to get the good stuff out of it. I’m making it again tonight, so I’ll make sure there is a photo of my efforts this time. Curried Butternut Squash Soup Ingredients: 1 butternut s...

What Could Losing 5% of Your Body Weight Mean to Your Health?

Image
Image: Pixabay At Weight Watchers we like to focus on small targets before that big one. While Silver 7s are handed out for each half stone (7lbs) a person loses, there is also the focus on losing a certain percentage of your body weight. 5% and 10% are the two that you get small awards for. They sound like small goals, but they do so much for your health. 5% could be 7-14lbs, but you gain a lot of benefits from that small weight loss. Of course, it could be a lot more if your starting weight is higher. Working Out 5% of Your Body Weight To start with, you need to know what 5% of your starting weight is. I like to work in pounds, but you could work in kilos. When I started, I was 14 stone 4 lbs. That works out to be 200lbs in total. Five percent of that is 10lbs. So my 5% target was to lose 10lbs of weight. That would take me down to 13 stone 8lbs. It was so much better as an initial weight loss goal than saying I needed to lose over 3 stone. But What Does ...

Why Eating Fruit and Vegetables Isn’t Enough to Lose Weight

Image
I received a message yesterday from someone looking for some weight loss support. She mentioned that she was eating lots of fruit and vegetables but still not losing weight. Okay, well, eating fruit and vegetables isn’t enough to lose weight. Yes, really! While eating fruit and vegetables can help—it certainly gets you your nutrients—it isn’t going to give you everything your body needs. In fact, too many fruit and vegetables can lead to weight gain. And you need to look at all the other stuff you’re eating! Be honest with yourself. So, let’s look at this in stages… Eating too much of a good thing is bad Yes, you really can eat too much of a good thing. Want to know why? Because you run the risk of not getting a balanced diet. While you get your fibre and nutrients from fruit and vegetables, you need to get carbohydrates, protein, and some fats. Yes, your body needs fat! By the way, fruit is full of natural sugar. While it’s not as bad for you as...
