"Three hundred calories…a day," reveals Portia while discussing the struggle that is the focus of her new book, Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain

Such a limited diet obviously took it's toll, causing the former Arrested Development star to drop down to a terrifying 82 pounds.  

"It wasn't that I was proud of it," she tells Oprah. "But it was certainly a recognition for my self-control. I definitely had some pretty amazing willpower to get down to 82 pounds. And that's what I was holding on to. I didn't think about anything else."

Portia's book is due out Nov. 1.
