Beyoncé's Diet Secrets Exposed


Beyoncé Knowles looks svelter than ever as she brings down the house in this season's most anticipated flick, "Dreamgirls."

And if you had trouble recognizing the pop star, it may be because she trimmed down her trademark curves just for the movie.

"Back in the 60's, Twiggy and all the models were really, really thin," Beyoncé explained. "So if I was a diva during that time, I would want to be thin... and it was hard!"

But how did she lose 20 pounds in a few short weeks? Beyoncé dished her "Dreamgirls" weight loss secrets to us.

"It took me the two weeks to lose 10 pounds because I only had liquids," she revealed. "And then the other 10 pounds just gradually came off. It was hard, and I could never do that for myself, but for this movie, I was so in the zone."

Fortunately, Beyoncé kept her zone to herself!

"Everyone else was eating really bad around me, and I was very grouchy," Beyoncé admitted. "But I didn't let everybody else know, just in my mind."

While Beyoncé wouldn't recommend taking off so much weight in so little time, the movie did accomplish her goal of becoming a completely different character for "Dreamgirls."

"It paid off because now that I gained my weight back," Beyoncé said. "I'm looking at the movie, I'm like, 'Oh my god, who is that? That is not me.'"

"Dreamgirls" is in theaters now.

Silly people.. I hope you know that you can’t live on this diet forever? Once you start eating normal again your weight will increase and you will probably weigh more than you did before the diet.

Just an advice - it’s soo much smarter if you change your lifestyle over time. Eat healthier food, a lot of meals every day (many smaal meals) and start to excersise! It doesn’t have to be so hard as you might think, a 30 minute walk each day can make wonders!

Good luck!

Im going to start Beyonce’s diet on monday. Everyone is calling me crazy for doing this, but I have gained a few pounds that has me really discouraged and feeling ulgy inside. It’s something that I have to do for myself and not everybody else. I’m so glad that Beyonce did this diet she is my biggest fan and I look up to her. So, if she did it then I know that I can do the samething.

Hey Beyonce, you are one of the biggest insparations in ma life, not in the sence that i wanna be like you when i grow up but as in i want my future to be as bright as yours. (back to point) but im not into all dat losin weight thing, cuz i LOVE being think. but i had a sweet 16 commin up and my dress waz a tub-top with strings attaching the back, well the dress had to be tight so it can hold up. well i needed to look perfect for that dat cuz im usually the person who gives all the time to others. so im here to tell you that you are soooo strong for all that you went through cuz i couldnt’ve done all that, same goes for all that are on that diet thing. ~God Bless~

Hello all it seems that no one ever actually gave the exact recipe for the Master Cleanse. Whats funny is a friend let me borrow the book titled the Mster Cleanse about 15 years ago. Being that I am a diet finatic. and yes people it does work and yes it is very hard.

Recipe
2 TBS Grade B Maple trader joes has it cheapest

2 TBS fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/10 tsp cayenne pepper red pepper

with 10 OZ of water book says warm water, however, also says cold is fine if you prefer.

When I did it years ago I made up my recipe using a 1.5L bottle of water which which is 50.2 oz.

you are supposed to have at least 4 to six 10OZ glasses a day. So I drank one bottle a day and also took dieters tea morn and night. Book states that you are to take the tea night b4 you start diet and every morn and night there after in order to cleanse your body of all the inpurities.

Recipe for 1.5L bottle is

10 TBS grade B maple
10 TBS of lemon juice
1/2 tspn cayenne pepper

Hope this was helpful to anyone who wanted to lose the weight.
