Diet Details
A K.I.S.S. Plan
Stone isn’t interested in celebrity fad diets. She says there’s a lot of pressure to be thin in Hollywood, but she isn’t giving in on this one and continues to eat whole, natural foods.
Bulking Up
Stone is naturally lean so to pack on extra muscle to play tennis champ Billie Jean King, she upped her calorie intake to 2,500-3,000 calories, drank 2 high-calorie shakes a day and ate as much as she wanted of clean foods.
Sugar Buster
For La La Land, Stone had to slim down. Her trainer Jason Walsh had her limit carbohydrate intake and eliminate sugar completely. He says most people could lose 10 lbs just by cutting out extra sugar from their diet. When she’s not prepping for a role, Stone enjoys sweets as an occasional treat.
Lucky Lady
Stone eats healthy most of the time, so when she wants to indulge, she can without worrying about gaining weight.

EMMA STONE’S Supplements
Protein
To bulk up, Stone drank 2 high-calorie protein shakes a day. But, her trainer says, they have to taste good or you won’t stick with it. He found a product called Metabolic Whey that had a flavor Stone didn’t mind.
Ashwagandha
To help Stone counter the stress of training, she took the Ayurvedic herb, Ashwagandha. Besides decreasing anxiety, ashwagandha lowers blood sugar and increases muscle strength.
Udo’s Oil
Stone also supplemented with Udo’s 3-6-9 Oil with DHA made from flax, coconut, evening primrose, sesame, and algae. Essential fatty acids repair cell damage, eliminate toxins, and reduce inflammation.
