As she steps on the scale, she says “Every woman’s nightmare. This is my weight, 175. Long way to go. Let’s get it.”
Mega-star Beyoncé Knowles-Carter released a video Wednesday on YouTube revealing how she got back in shape for Coachella after giving birth to twins Rumi and Sir in 2017.
Viewers of her Netflix concert documentary “Homecoming” know that the 5 foot, 7 inch superstar was 218 pounds when she gave birth and followed a strict diet.
Well, now Beyoncé is going into more details and explaining how she shed the pounds.
Beyoncé and her husband. Jay-Z, partnered with Marco Borges, who is an exercise physiologist and founder of 22 Days Nutrition, a plant-based diet and creator of the Greenprint Project, which encourages plant-basked diets to help the environment.
The couple wrote the foreword to his book and had a contest offering the chance to win free tickets to their shows for life for fans willing to become more plant-based.
“In order for me to meet my goal, I’m limiting myself to no bread, no carbs, no sugar, no dairy, no meat, no fish, no alcohol,” Beyoncé says in the documentary.
The new video includes scenes of Borges coaching the performer and some of her Coachella team.
Not everyone is a fan of the video or its message.
“Y’all know I love Beyonce. Perhaps a little too much,” Canadian TV host Joelle Tomlinson tweeted. “But, I’m disappointed to hear her calling her weight post-twins every ‘woman’s nightmare’, and promoting a VERY restrictive diet. Perhaps use your star power to promote body positivity and beauty at any body size. #IMHO.”
Well… in Queen Bey’s defense she and Jay-Z did write in the book stating, “We are not about promoting any one way of living your life,” they wrote. “You decide what’s best for you. What we are encouraging is for everyone to incorporate more plant-based meals into their everyday lives.”
