Beyonce knows how to lose weight

To lose 20 pounds for her latest movie role, Beyonce reportedly used the “maple syrup” diet which consists of mixing maple syrup with water, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper and drinking it as a daily meal replacement. A dietician who works with the British group Weight Concern says:

“The problem is not what’s in the diet but what’s not. There are no fats, proteins, vitamins or minerals and the only carbohydrate is in the form of sugar… People would start to feel very lethargic and would be unable to concentrate… They will probably end up in hospital, especially people who try it for more than 10 days.”

Sounds pretty healthy to me. Although I’ve got my own version of the maple syrup diet. It goes a little something like this. You don’t get all the nutrients of Beyonce’s version, but boy does it go down smooth.

    That is a ridiculous diet. It may help her lose weight, but she will pay a price later for that kind of food intake. Now, I personally like the pureed dog food diet with jelly beans, fava beans and a nice Chianti.

    Why doesn’t she try the “refuse any food that comes near her mouth” diet? It worked for Nicole Ritchie.

    I really hope all these celebrities will just keep trying to out-do each other in the weightloss department then, one by one, they will all pull a Karen Carpenter.

    i suppose you’ll also lose weight, but i’ve always heard of that “diet” as being more of a cleanse. i really don’t want to think that much about beyonce’s bowels though. ew.

    check the similarities…

    I could help her lose about 180 pounds a day… of course that would involve her pushing me off of her every morning, but still, she should really consider it…

    Yeah, my friend does that cleanse every so often. I actually know of a few health nuts who do cleanses as well. It’s not really a diet at all.

    The maple syrup thing is a cleanse. A friend of mine did it for 21 days, she looks fabulous, and did NOT end up in the hospital. Cleansing is entirely different than the standard Hollywood dieting a la Nicole Ritchie…

    Anyway, I just had to say it.

    That’s all.

    @17 Yeah I used that diet too. Only problem is the calorie intake on cum can get up there when you are swallowing dozens of loads a day. I usually like to end the day with a good ass thumping, that way I shit out those extra calories. Kinda like a laxative. Or an enema.

    That’s right, Beyonce, listen to The Man telling you that your butt is too big and you are too curvy to be in movies! Men looooove women with no ass, no hips, and a sharply defined breastbone!

    Say what you want but 99% of the time Beyonce looks good, in control, and is ready for showtime. Britney, Lindsay, and the rest should beg Beyonce to be their life coach.

    She didn’t exactly invent that. It’s called the Master Cleanse. It is a detox cleansing fast that was created quite a long time ago. She either a) learned it from the book that the creator of the fast published (called, aptly enough “The Master Cleanse”) or b)read about it online.

    It’s a great detox, and extremely effective. But Beyonce isn’t exactly a weightloss pioneer for using it.
