Inside Megan Fox's Struggle to Gain Weight

By Tracey Harrington McCoy Posted Mar 7th 2011 08:50PM

Megan Fox looks pretty thin in her recent ad campaign for Armani. But don't worry, says her trainer, Harley Pasternak, she definitely doesn't have an eating disorder. In an interview with HollywoodLife.com, Pasternak reveals that the 'Jennifer's Body' actress really struggles with gaining weight.

"Do I worry about Megan getting too skinny? Yeah!" Pasternak said. "Believe it or not she has this really fast metabolism," Pasternak continued. "So her training is all about body toning and sculpting. With her its really about she's eating enough of the right things. People thought, 'Oh she must be anorexic,' but she's far from that!"

Fox gets upset when people question whether or not she's anorexic. "She gets frustrated at times because she's like 'I need to put on weight.' So she actually weight-trains to keep on that lean muscle tissue," he said.

Pasternak, who also trains Robert Pattinson, Katy Perry and Amanda Seyfried, then described the kind of training he does with Fox that results in her toned abs. "The key to Megan's abs is first of all genetics," Pasternak admitted.

"The second is that we train her abs on all three planes. It's not just about crunch, crunch, crunch. It's about working her body up and down and side to side and rotation. We train all three of her rectus abdominis, her obliques and her corset muscle to make sure that her abs are not just tight and strong but small. The corset pulls it all in," he concluded.

She already has a great body but if she can add a little muscle and curves, she'll be really hot.

She looks hot. Not all women can have 'curves' and not all women want them. Lol.

I guess this is where I pull out my tiny violin and feel sorry for someone that has a hard time gaining weight in a country that has a weight problem. I really do feel absolutely horrible her only you know, not so much.

She looks like she has a mental disorder with that ink on her. What a stupid tramp.

By Heather

That is the ugliest picture of her I have ever seen. She is usually pretty but not as pretty as everyone makes her out to be.

I was once 70 lbs. at 5'8" as a ballerina. I guess when anyone asks if I think someone is getting to be too thin, I have to keep my opinion to myself.

If she roll with me I could get her thick in no time.

Not 'fat' thick, but 'athletic' thick. Those sexy curves that J-Lo and Janet used to have.

I'd have her looking RIGHT in no time.

At 40 I have to work hard to be thin so hers is a problem I could live with :) !!

Actually, no you don't. I have trouble gaining weight. Always have. I have been eighty pounds all my adult life, exept for two years ago when I suddenly gained weight for no known reason. Then, last year, I slowly started losing it for no known reason. I am not anorexic or balemic. I have stomach problems and stage three kidney failare, and I have a very high metabolism. It is not fun being this skinny, because I can feel all my bones. Sometimes my bones hurt, especially when I sit. My rib cage hits some other bones, and that hurts a lot. I know being overweight is not fun, but trust me, neither is being too skinny. At least this girl has enough money to get help.

I don't think she looks too thin at all. Not all women want big, huge boobs and wide hips!

By El Presidente

Nice tats. If she wants people to read her paragraph maybe she ought to try a bumper sticker or something.

By Eric

I feel for her, but I can't reach her ;)

By Mike

She can't gain weight? Geez, look at her fat thighs?! Seriously, this chick just wants attention.. she's lying.

By hyasm4

shes really too thin. she gained weight when she was younger by using birth control but i guess her body's use to it now and she cant gain any weight. it seems she's getting thinner and thinner everytime i see her. she's a beautiful woman but she needs to find a way to gain some weight like eat a cheeseburger and fries but even with that she'll still be really thin.

By ljsurf322

Yea, get her to gain weight by making her eat unhealthy things? No. Not the right way to go.

Megan looks fine. She doesn't have that wasted look. She just looks very fit. Keep up the good work.
