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.

I cannot stand Beyonce because she is way too conceded. I don’t know anyone who is perfect but she thinks she is perfect. I think she has public arrogance which has to be noticed by an individual because she hides it with her phony phony smile. I hate the fact that she feels she is the only female who can accomplsh some of the things she does daily. I think she was most jealous of the young actress that attracted all the attention in Dream Girls from the American Idol. I feel that she is not real because of the public notice and especially with her parents allowing her to basically run over them. The only reason she wanted to discontinue any future performances with Destiny Child is due to the fact she feels she is better than them and that her friends are using her so called notariaty to move ahead. In closing she is a spoiled brat.
Signed,
A person who looks into the realism of others soul.
