She chose a much more unconventional (and pretty extreme) route. The actress told The Times she would need wine to fall asleep after eating next to nothing. Read on for more details.

For the last two weeks of filming Adrift, in which Shailene stars as real-life sailor Tami Oldham Ashcraft, the A-lister said all she had to eat was "a can of salmon, some steamed broccoli and two egg yolks every day."
