As I said during our Met Gala coverage yesterday, this is the smallest I’ve ever seen Beyonce look. Her legs look so tiny! She’s lost significant weight off her face, mid-section, hips and booty. I asked, “Has she been on a crazy diet for six months to wear this dress?” Well, we have our answer. On Monday, People Magazine published this story about Beyonce’s vegan dietician Marco Borges. He’s promoting his diet book, 22-Day Revolution and Beyonce has written the foreword to it. Apparently, she claims that she shed 65 POUNDS on this vegan diet.
The nutritionist behind the revolutionary diet that turned Beyonce from a self-confessed fried-meat addict to a kale-worshiping vegan has released his first book. Marco Borges’s 22-Day Revolution is based around a whole-food plant-based diet, and bans meat, eggs, dairy, alcohol and processed foods for 22 days – the length of time it is thought to take to build new food habits.
Beyonce, 33, who admits to having yo-yo dieted for most of her life, is such a Marco Borge evangelist, she claims it whipped her into the ‘best shape’ of her life, and wrote in the book’s foreword: ‘The truth is that if a Houston-born foodie like me can do it, you can too. You just need to try it for 22 days.’ She embarked on Mr Borge’s regime in November 2013, along with husband Jay Z, 45.
‘Our hometown favourites were fried chicken, fajita tacos, BBQ burgers, BBQ rips, fried shrimp, and Po’ boy sandwiches,’ she says of her youth, adding that her food choices were ‘silently sabotaging’ her health. The Flawless singer, who claims she lost 65lbs on Mr Borge’s regime, is famous for having dallied with extreme diets including the Master Cleanse, which involves consuming nothing but a mixture of water, lemon, maple syrup and cayenne pepper.
‘After having my daughter, I made a conscious effort to regain control of my health and my body,’ she continues. ‘But I didn’t want to do a crash diet. I was a mom now. I needed to change my ways and set an example for my child.’
After adopting the 22-Day Revolution plan, also favoured by Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce was hooked on the lifestyle.
‘We celebrated my husband’s birthday with an all-vegan party,’ Beyonce wrote. ‘I can still see the reaction on our friends’ faces. Some were extremely excited while others had some reservations, but in the end, we all enjoyed it immensely.’
If you were just scanning the story, you might think that Beyonce lost 65 pounds in 22 days. She did not. The timeline is as follows: Beyonce still had some baby/pillow weight in 2013 when she started the 22-Revolution in November 2013. She used to the 22 days to develop new eating habits and now she’s vegan (or mostly vegan?) and still doing the program now, 16 months later. And in those 16 months, she claims she’s lost 65 pounds. Has she though? I think she’s lost a lot of weight in the past year, of course. But 65 pounds?
PS… This is my new favorite tweet of all time.

She looks like she lost weight.
65 lbs though??
Whatever. Her body is BANGIN’. Whatever she did and however many lbs she lost is irrelevant. She looks amazing.
I have no idea. But it strikes as something not worth getting in a pissin’ match about.
She does look great, but I’ve never seen her when I thought she had an extra 65 pounds. Maybe 20, but she has always had a good figure, I thought.
She’s also a business partner in the home delivery service of the 22 day plan meals. It’s all a part of her marketing angle. I’ve read a couple of reviews of the food – apparently it’s really awful.
I guess we’re cancelling Bridget’s all-vegan surprise party?
Seriously, she threw her husband a vegan birthday party? I’d be PISSED.
Interesting Bridget. The celebrity endorsement usually has the opposite effect on me; if you have to pay a known talking head to shill something, it ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.
@GNAT-Right? I would believe 30 lbs but ..
@Bridget-I did not know that.
Vegan food isn’t really my thing but I did make some delicious seitan the other day that looked exactly like poop. Seriously.
Even an artfully-placed parsley garnish couldn’t make that crap look any less like dog sh*t. Tasted great though.
Thanks for ruining the surprise, Abbott! Jeez.
Vegan food can be tasty, and a plant based diet is great if that’s your thing. But just apparently not the stuff you buy through this plan.
I take celebrity diet endorsements with a boulder sized grain of salt, because for the most part the goal is to be skinny, not strong and healthy.
Bridget, I wasn’t just talking about weight loss strategies and hawking. See also: skincare lines, hair products, make-up, perfumes, water and even political junk mail.
As a vegan and because you wrote about it here, just wanted to share that you can be vegan without buying anything that comes from a brand (packaged stuff). It’s all in nature and you can get it from most traditional supermarkets. The only thing that you should consider (go to a nutritionist to make sure of your personal needs) is B12 supplements because you can only get it from meat. Even the fake meat is something convenient but not essencial. So if someone tries to sell you something vegan that comes from a company read the labels and suspect. Oh and there’s a lot of of good books about it. “Main street Vegan” is a nice start. *End of educational moment* ^_^
True. Maybe after the baby and she didn’t take many pictures or get out much for a few months. Probably more like 25 from her pre-baby weight.
She definitely looks fit but not starved or deflated.
@Kiddo: I’ve always kind of thought that a celebrity line of products was a 95% guarantee for cheap and tacky.
Yes, I am judgy.
@sofia: I’m not a huge fan of those home delivery services in general, because the key to sustainable, long term good health is in the home. Either you commit to buying the meals for an extended amount of time, or you learn to cook for yourself.
Bridget, yep, agree with the cheap and tacky, come sit next to me. Also, I agree with you on the home delivery services, and to sofia, I don’t think 99% of people ever thought that a vegan diet was a brand issue, prepared food staple. Most people think it is the opposite.
@Bridget: I wasn’t even talking about the delivery services, just really showing that’s just marketing because the diet part of being Vegan, just like you wrote is something you can do alone (not depending from these marketed services) and be in control of. Learning how to cook and experiment not only is the long term sustainable way, but because it’s also empowering.
@Kiddo: You would be surprised at the amount of people who eat products targeted for vegans because they want a “vegan diet”. People who don’t really know how to cook and don’t want to. It’s really easy to be vegan and eat really badly:/ Many go back to their prior diets and give Vegan a bad reputation because they did it wrong, they never really went to a nutritionist or studied it.
Completely agree Kitten.. She looks good
Sofia, that proves my point though, They KNOW that it is about selecting foods, and preparing meals, and vegan diets need more fine tuning for flavor and variety, so they may attempt pre-made packaged options as an ALTERNATIVE, knowing that they don’t care to put in the effort. But they don’t think that prepackaged brands ARE the vegan diet. They just go to that out of convenience. It’s the same with any kind of ‘diet’. People buy prepared meals, take-out, frozen foods, etc, not because it represents that type of diet first and foremost, but because they don’t have the time, lack the ambition, or don’t enjoy cooking or prep work. Maybe that’s how you intended it, that the prepared stuff doesn’t taste as good as what you could make. I tried going vegan, and it wasn’t for me, especially while traveling, and ‘vegan’ at some restaurants equals lettuce only. To those who are driven, I say, “good for you”.
@Kiddo: I agree with everything you wrote. What I wanted to convey was that people don’t need these services or packaged meals. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you, but I glad you tried. Have you considered going vegetarian when traveling? It’s a compromise. Oh and there’s a website/app called happycows that has info about vegetarian/vegan restaurants around the world. It’s quite useful. I actually traveled with a small blender before, but it really depend on the context of your travel.
She does look a little smaller.
Not 65 pounds smaller.
Agreed, and her husband has certainly lost weight over the same period, so it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that they generally stuck to this program together.
Yeah, but how come her husband is not wearing a dress like that?
somebody beat me to a dense pillow comment. Dang it!
65 pounds? What, did she fill that pillow with rocks?
65, what? Her thighs are still curvy or thick as some men say. The lipo genie helped as well. Still she looks great.
That explains the ripples on her abs. Thank you.
I don’t believe this for a second. Never ever is she a vegan now. Crap. Like Bridget says, she wants to promote her business. And you’re right V4Real, she definitely had lipo on her tights. Also she didn’t lost much weight, she always looked pretty slender with curves. I really liked her years ago, but she gets more and more pathetic.
Maybe she’s subtracting from her weight right after she gave birth? But even if she had 30 pounds of baby weight, I don’t think she lost another 35 from her prepregnancy weight. Is it possible she’s counting from her weight before she gave birth?
That’s the only way I could see this being in the neighborhood of reality, or maybe even at the height of baby weight, right before delivery.
I am 5’5″, and if I went off of my day of delivery weight, I could say that I lost 65 pounds, and I know some women that just had the bad luck to gain a ton of weight in pregnancy, but that weight is impossible to hide. Beyonce has been dancing her butt off in a leotard onstage for the past year and a half.
This is the only way it makes sense to me either–if she’s including the weight of Blue Ivy plus perhaps a bunch of last minute pregnancy bloat in the maximum weight. She never looked like she gained all that much weight while pregnant, and she’s not very tall either, right? I could believe she lost 20 or even 30 lbs off her post-baby weight, but 65? No way.
Not really relevant but one of these days I’d like to see an event not let her walk the red carpet because she always shows up so late. The tantrum would be epic and hilarious. So over her “bow down” attitude.
I second this! That would be absolutely hilarious
Yeah, she’s as desperate and famewhørish as kim k now. Bleh
She looks good, but I can’t see where the 65 lbs came from, unless she’s counting from when she was very, very pregnant.
Sadly she’ll still feel the need to photoshop herself.
I”m calling bullshit on the 65lbs…unless she’s referring to her pre-labor weight. I still want to try the diet though.
I’m still calling BS even if she is including the 10lbs or so the BI weighed inutero. Beyonce has had lip and we all know it. Besides, the only one affected by Blue Ivy’s inutero weight was whoever was Blue Ivy’s surrogate.
Hahahahaha. YES!
She looks good. Strong, thin, not skinny. Still over her being naked all the time, though.
@Kaiser – small thing but Marco’s last name is Borges (not Borge). It is correct in the People article but not in the Daily Mail article.
The lies people tell and the lying liars who tell them.
Here is a funny article about someone who actually tried Beyonce’s vegan diet:
http://www.thecoveteur.com/22-days-vegan-diet-diary-beyonce/
Does anyone remember the video of Beyonce at the basketball game in an “altered state”? Many celebrities who claim *cough* diet and exercise *cough* are using another easier approach.
I forgot about that. Hmmm……..
65 seems like an exaggeration unless they mean to say she lost 65 from the top of her pregnancy weight down to whatever she currently weighs.
Celebrities often seem to exaggerate the post-baby weight loss. They probably are calculating from their highest weight immediately pre-labor, and perhaps justifying it by subtracting the baby’s birthweight from that number. Who knows, but I’ve always questioned those reports.
Beyonce has jumped the 65-pound shark.
There’s no way that she lost 65 pounds. Beyonce lies all the time. She looks good though.
The last photo is ridiculous. The Queen being in the center and posing hard with peasants around her.
+1
Of course she’s selling this. She wants you to buy the 22 day diet meal plan, that she’s so helpfully launched with Borges.
And it explains why she showed up naked to the MET event.
I think she looks the same, less toned if anything, which makes sense if she lost muscle mass.
That said, I thought she was a good and positive image for girls of what healthy looked like, but it seems like she has serious issues (yo-yo dieting ‘most her life’) which is really sad.
If she lost 65 pounds, how much did she weigh before? She looks good, not too thin. When I see that “dress,” I laugh and shake my head
So that dress was a ‘LOOK AT ME (I’ve lost so much weight)’ move..
She looks the same to me. Weird.
Me too. She’s always been curvy. She looks the same way she did last year.
Veganism shouldn’t be seen as the miracle diet. It’s a lifestyle to which it is very difficult to commit.
I guess that seeing it as just a diet makes it very difficult, you are right. You probably need some philosophical, ethics, animal welfare considerations in mind (and in your heart) to feel that it’s something worth of your efforts. Otherwise, it’s just another diet and you’ll feel tempted all the time:/
That’s pretty subjective… and to be clear, she didn’t adopt a vegan lifestyle, or she wouldn’t have cosmetic contracts and continue to wear leather and fur.
I stopped eating meat as a kid, but I put off the vegan thing for YEARS because I assumed it would be too hard. It’s really not. And when you know about the environmental benefits of a vegan diet (and the reality of what happens to animals), it gets much easier to turn down a cheese plate. In fact, I never cared about cooking until I went vegan, and now I make recipes from scratch.
Basically, I *like* food more than I did before. I understand it better. I gravitate toward MORE ingredients than ever before, because I no longer stick to the choices I was conditioned to make over and over again.
I actually started to like cooking when became vegan. Everything seemed more interesting and exploring vegetables, spices and other ingredients I barely knew about was exciting.
It’s not hard at all to eat vegan. Really. It’s not rocket science. If it were, the species would never have made it this far. We’re built for vegan eating, humans just got into the habit of eating other animals and their discharges and so now people assume that’s normal. All our essential amino acids are plentiful in plant foods, we’re not obligate carnivores. The body breaks down all protein, whatever its source, into the constituent amino acids to build our own proteins.
It’s cheap to supplement with B12 today and I do that myself because I know I have absorption problems, but that vitamin doesn’t actually come from meat but rather is produced by bacteria which can also be found on plant foods. So there are non-meat ways to get it on a diet closer to the ground, so to speak, again explaining why the species is still alive and kicking. Modern food sources are more likely to be deficient in such bacteria (too clean) and our requirements for B vitamins in general are higher with all the physical stresses today (actually worse than in ancient times), so most carnivores (especially urban ones) should really supplement with B12 today as insurance. But the requirement is small and nobody should be scared away from vegan eating because of it.
You do not have to go along with any particular political agenda to eat vegan. That’s a myth spread by earnest folk who changed to vegan eating as part of their broader political/ religious/ whatever beliefs. They can be quite adamant, but really – just don’t eat animal products. Don’t try to go low fat in the process, that’s the biggest mistake people make when switching to vegan eating and then they incorrectly assume their bodies must need dead animals. No, our bodies just need good fat.
You also can just eat mostly vegan and get many health benefits. Just upping your intake of fruits and veggies significantly, no matter what else you eat, is likely to make you feel lots better and cut down on junk food cravings. That’s probably what Beyoncé and Jay-Z experienced and why they like the vegan eating approach. We need the vitamins and minerals found in real fruit and veg (especially greens). I’m not any kind of a cook, and can guarantee that you don’t have to work hard in the kitchen to eat vegan. You can choose to eat very simply, just eat real food. Fruit, veg, beans, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, whatever grains you can tolerate (actually grains are optional) – how hard is that? Beyoncé’s delivery service is for rich people. The rest of us do fine with a can opener and a knife.
If one can do it for a few years and stay healthy, that’s great. Anyone can feel great at first. But a diet where it’s required to supplement an essential nutrient can not ever truly be considered a truly healthy choice, and that should be examined a lot more than it is. A b12 deficiency is not so fun or easy to recover from. And most of the b12 on the market is the cheap, hardly absorbable kind. The good kind is NOT cheap, and it still may not be enough long term. I’ve been there…and my diet wasn’t even vegan! Vegetarians need to be mindful of it too.
Many people don’t think about or talk about all the ex-vegans AND vegetarians who saw their health go downhill after a few years. And I’m not talking about ones who did things the wrong way around. And sometimes it’s very hard to pinpoint. That said, I’m all for healthy, whole food diets, and I’ve done long-term raw, veg, etc. I just think there should be more awareness of the pitfalls as many people go into it blindly (say, younger people who don’t know much about good nutrition to begin with), and the results can be catastrophic over a longer period of time.
65 pounds?! No. Way. She’s definitely at her slimmest ever at the moment but there’s no way her body ever carried an extra 65lb on it.
She used to have big thighs, but they look smaller and maybe shrunk in the breasts too. 65 pounds is hard to believe though
Lost weight… Yes… Lost 65 pounds no freakin way. Always such a liar.
Her height is listed as 5’7- so I think to lose 65 lbs off her frame, she would look emaciated now.
That said- I find her supper boring.
Well it’s bland vegan food, of course her supper would be boring 😉
Did she have 65 lbs to lose? I’m honestly curious. She never really looked overweight, even right after having her (pillow) baby. She looks great now, but 65 lbs? That’s a lot, and she’s not a super tall woman. She’s 5’8″ if I remember correctly, which is tall but not “I can carry an extra 65 lbs and nobody will notice” tall.
I don’t see this as giving a good example. As a vegan myself, when I see celebrities who endorse diets for weight issues talking about health like it’s the same thing I feel really annoyed because it’s just not true. Actually there’s a whole industry that sells products talking about health when it’s just about the weight and the aesthetics of it. And of course there had to be a book about it right? When these “influential” people decide they REALLY want to talk about health and what we eat as a society I’ll listen, until then this is just about looks and money.
Book AND a home delivery service for pre-made meals.
I’m feeling a bit depressed now:/ And you now what saddens me more? Is that this kind of stuff is seen and normal and acceptable and even encouraged (self made woman blah blah blah). Influential celebrities capitalizing from people’s fears and insecurities with a lot of young people as fans. They capitalize on their brand with aspirational propaganda and the “victims” have no critical thinking about it because they are sold before a celeb even opens his/her mouth. UGH. *Rant over*
I mean I get it – if I were in their position, I’d prefer to be the one profiting off of my own image and endorsement. But I just get kind of tired of how mercenary the Carters are. They’ve confused business acumen with slapping your name on everything.
I get it when you don’t have a lot and are thinking about your future. But they are greedy. How much is enough?
it also drives me crazy when people with plant based diets say their vegan. she hasnt given up her cosmetic contracts due to animal testing or her leather.
I didn’t even went there because it’s usually a subject felt as controversial, but yes. Veganism isn’t just about the diet, it’s a lifestyle change that requires ethical, philosophical considerations about using/abusing animals and the concept of violence. It requires most of all a complete change of perspective about it.
Exactly. I’m a vegan too (not just in diet), and I hate that it’s a “trendy” diet plan now instead of a way of life.
I haven’t eaten meat for 15 years, and I’ve been vegan for at least two years. But only recently, when acquaintances/servers/etc. find out that I’m vegan, they often ask if I’m gluten-free too. They hear “vegan” and think “restrictive” or “allergies”, but it’s purely an ethical choice… and it happens to have amazing health & environmental benefits too. We need to reframe this dialogue, STAT.
She looks smoking hot. I guess it’s possible she lost 65 lbs if that was starting from pregnancy weight. I still appreciate that Beyoncé never looks unhealthy/too skinny/bobble head when she slims down. She just looks great.
Is alcohol part of a vegan diet? Because a birthday party with no fried food *and* no booze would be a hard sell for me!
No, the alcohol/processed food thing has nothing to do with the vegan diet, and the vegan diet itself is far from restrictive or crazy. All vegan choices aren’t healthy (far from it)… but all dairy- and meat-based choices do have health & fitness drawbacks that don’t exist in plant-based foods.
Though if you want to get technical… some alcohol actually isn’t vegan. It’s often filtered or distilled using animal products (e.g. wine is filtered through fish bladders). There aren’t animal products in the final result, and it’s never noted on the package, so most people don’t realize that. It was mentioned in ADDITION to the vegan thing though, so I doubt she realizes that or the article was implying that.
Also… I’m a strict vegan who loves booze and fried food. (Even if I couldn’t, the desire for indulgence wouldn’t be enough to justify the torture of animals… but I digress.)
Meat isn’t the only thing that can be fried, and lard isn’t the only thing you can use to fry stuff. This is definitely perpetuating the notion that vegan diets are ultra-restrictive. They’re not.
@Brittney B: Thank you:)
All I see is a glazed donuts with sprinkles. Quite honestly, she looks very pulled and tucked. And annoyingly try-hard. First we had Fake Baby, now we have got Fake Pillow. I find it hard to believe anything she says.
This ^^^^^
Yes.
Ah. That explains why she ate her dress.
No 65 lbs is bullsh*t and lies , just like her photoshopped thigh gaps. If it was from pregnancy, she should come clean about that, but no way someone with her frame would we miss 65 lbs.
I am sick of Kardashyonce
22 Days to build new eating habits?
They must be joking!
It takes years, litteraly years to knock off
bad eating habits and to continue doing so
for a longer period of time. Under stress/drama
difficulties etc the bad habits WILL pop up again
and smack you in the face. I know this from my own
experience. But good for her if if she is happy with
what she has done!
Actually, you do lose your taste for extra salt and refined sugar quite rapidly if you abstain completely. Even a few days can do it unless you have some emotional component to your cravings. That’s from personal experience since I’ve often gone off of extra salt and sugar at times for other reasons (my desire for sweets vanishes when I’m sick, for instance, and I’m a stress non-eater). A few days off of sugar and a trip through the store bakery area is kind of nauseating. Likewise processed foods taste way too salty after a few days of simpler eating. The cultural pressures for eating loads of salt and sugar in processed convenience foods are very high, though, and that makes it seem harder than it should be.
But three weeks sounds about right in general for forming new eating habits, if you really can have tasty food prepared by someone else who does the cleanup…. 🙂 The big pull of fast food and convenience foods is that it can be so tiresome to cook and clean up, especially when you also work outside your home and/or are managing a house and/or kids. As the only human in the house, I have a big advantage in eating very simply compared to people wrangling families. Even so, I keep loads of vegan/nonallergenic (dairy/egg allergy) convenience foods on hand for times when I’m up against tight deadlines or just worn out for other reasons. Sometimes it’s easier to toss a veggie burger in the toaster oven than to try to find a clean knife or spoon or can opener or even to get to the store to buy produce. Yes, I keep paper plates and paper bowls on hand also, I’m that scattered sometimes! I also find wheat hard to digest when under too much stress, so I look for GF stuff for such times also. I fantasize about having a vegan fast food joint across the street that delivers and doesn’t put wheat and tomatoes in everything.
As someone who is very densely packed into their skin, I can see perhaps how this could happen. I’ve lost about 65 pounds since January (lots of hard work and careful nutrition) and no one has really noticed at work, etc. I have about 65 more to lose, and I’ve always carried my weight pretty well, never looked as heavy as the scale said. I think she’s a solid plug of muscle, and a lot of her weight loss was probably muscle weight since she’s never seemed to have much visceral body fat & has all of those years of hard core dancing in her body.
I’m going to go with no. No she didn’t. Beyonce and I have similar body type, hourglass and muscular. I would also guess she and I weigh about the same. I am actually down about 65+ lbs from what I used to weigh. I was wearing size 14 pants, now I’m a size 4/6. There’s no way Beyonce was a size 14 before this! I would say she lost 20, at best.
if she is 33 ? im 10 i knowdamn well in 2009 her moma said she was 30 the next day she was 29 you know this lame is at least 40
I reeeeeaally hope that the headline is also referencing the banning of alcohol and processed food… because a vegan diet is far from “crazy”.
I do wish she’d grown as a person, in addition to losing weight. She’s such a mega-star, it would be AMAZING if she took the opportunity to use her platform and say that she realized how much healthier she felt without animal products in her body. Instead, she integrated it into an extreme diet for superficial purposes, and as a result, it will probably have the opposite effect: people will think you can’t go vegan without losing weight and losing nutrients.
THIS ^^^
Maybe the fake baby bump and the weight of the $ invested in Tidal added up to 65 pounds. She doesn’t look like she’s lost that much weight
That tweet is EVERYTHING. Bravo!
I spent all day trying to figure out why her look was so familiar.
If she lost 65 lbs, she probably lost muscle. That isn’t good. But frankly, I have a hard time believin she had 65 lbs to loose.
I’m so SO sick of Beyoncé. I’m tired of her BS, I’m tired of her try hard sexiness. I’m tired of her all of a sudden feeling like she needs to be overly sexual to remain relevant. The woman is talented and gorgeous. She doesn’t need these gimmicks. The vegan thing? I have no doubt it’s because she’s lost weight. I doubt she’s doing it for health benefits and I doubt that she’s doing it because she really needs to be vegan. Bey was always about the fried chicken and the southern cooking and now she’s lost weight being vegan so this is the new her. And by weight, there isn’t for a second that I believe she lost 65 pounds. Her head alone must weight that much.
She looks fantastic — she always has. But no way has she lost 65 pounds. Not unless she’s counting when she gains 5 pounds here and there and loses it again. A 65-pound weight loss implies from top weight to now, not the yo-yoing in between. At max she’s lost 25-30 pounds.
THREE years ago she told an audience at her concert that she lost 60 lbs eating lettuce and hitting the treadmill…and that was a few months after delivering. Shes definitely lost weight since those old concert photos , at least 20 lbs ?! There’s no way her initial loss was 60 and 3 years later a grand total of 65! Lies.
It could be a total of 65 pounds from being pregnant.
Not everyone can lose weight by going vegan. I have a few friends that actually put ON weight after going vegan. Nutritious food, appropriate portions, and exercise. Boom! Healthy weight. *Emphasis on HEALTHY weight* No one needs a book or prepackaged food. Seriously.
65 pounds? That seems very unlikely. She still looks more or less the same and she was on tour dancing and stuff so I don’t understand. I think that would contribute more to weight loss.
Didn’t notice any weight loss….all I noticed was the POSE HARD, TRY HARD poses.
If you have to TRY, you ain’t got it naturally…or at all. IMHO.
Me, too. I actually laugh when I see her silly poses. I’d be embarrassed for her if she only realized how ridiculous she looks.
Here’s the thing. She stole Kim Kardashian’s ASS thunder. All is forgiven. Thank you Bey.
65 pounds of ego, maybe.
lol!!! Gained in ego…not lost. Gurl ain’t got an ego lacking prob, she has an unnatural surplus. Booty brain. That’s all she gots now. Sad.
As someone who has lost over 50 lbs of weight….I can safely say by looking at her alone she hasn’t even lost 20 lbs.
Holy Mole, it looks like she dipped herself in eggwhite mucus and rolled around in oatmeal and rhinestone vomit! Does that count as a vegan diet?
There is a hidden agenda here though. Remember she just started a Vegan company that delivers meals to your home. Of course she wants people to believe this diet will help them lose a lot of weight (and it probably will because it’s VEGAN). However, there is no way she lost 65 pounds unless she started her Vegan diet the day after giving birth.
You’re explanation of the timeline is wrong. First, she never claims in the book forward she lost 65lbs since doing the 22 day plan. Doesn’t say a specific weight at all anywhere.
She says she had already lost the baby weight through a different exercise and nutrition program. And then in November 2013, decided she was ready to try the 22 day diet.
I recently lost 60 lbs and there is no way beyonce lost that much.
no way-this is irresponsible the message she’s sending by putting her name on an article saying she lost that much weight. no wonder people have issues with food.
She is officially a lyin’ Trashdashian.
I like her better with more meat on her bones. She just seem so thin now and it doesn’t look good on her. I’m sure she likes to be healthy but being thin doesn’t always mean you’ll look better.
The 22-Day Revolution book iz gonna be the Tidal of diet books.
Great body. AWFUL doily covering pretending to be a dress.
Eh, I had people tell me “oh you slimmed down a little” or “you’re looking good these days” when in fact I had lost 52 fucking pounds, thank you very much.
She looks exactly the same to me. 65 lbs. umm yah no.
65 pounds? Not buying it, but whatever… Never mind all that, though. How long since these two had a birthday? It seems like she’s been 33 and he. 45 for years…
She’s just doing Beyonce bragging. No way has she lost 65.I’m about to turn 29 for the 8th time. Some of us never get older
I hate that ponytail…
Ok, maybe she’s vegan, but I’ve seen her drinking alcohol in a lot of pictures.
I think we might have a female Brain Williams or Bill O’Reilly on our hands.

Anything this chick says is suspect. EVERYTHING is about her brand. Including this diet. Beyotch probably got extra liposuction this year in preparation for selling this diet program !
I find it baffling that the men in these women’s lives call this dressing “sexy”. I don’t live in their delusional world – this is pure unadulterated Porn Star with a side of I Don’t Have An Iota Of Class. In my opinion the self worth of the women who feel that they need to dress this way is rock bottom, ditto their men. It is all self aggrandizing anyway (picture those silly comic size chain necklaces men were/are wearing) and it sadly advertises the fact that they are really just empty shells with no substance. Again, my opinion. What happens when surgery can no longer sustain such outlandish vulgarity and classless posing? I am sure that their men already have exit strategies in place when they begin to resemble Donatella Versace.
Someone may have already mentioned this and I skimmed over it, but it seems to that, by the way she is holding her hands on the sides of her legs, she does not feel comfortable with how she looks. My guess is that she still has that ‘hip skin’ that sticks out – because we’re women and we have hips.
It’s ok to have hips, B.
