Beyonce Weight Loss
Well, you have to swear by Beyoncé’s figure. And it takes a lot of pains to get the gains, as they say. Let us find out what are the customised techniques she adopts (or has adopted) to shed the kilos and stay fit and sexy.
Workout Plan: Queen Bee’s workout largely revolves around cardio, abs, interval training and a healthy diet. One of the best things about her workout plan is that she emphasizes on Power Moves (which needs you to move all four major joints at once) created by Marco Borges, her fitness trainer.
Diet Plan: Heard of ‘Master Cleanse’ Diet? That is the fasting diet which Beyoncé chose, which made her lose 20 pounds in all of 14 days (i.e. 2 weeks).
In this special diet plan consisting of detox drinks, Beyoncé ate no food. She had only 6-12 glasses of water mixed with lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup for 10-40 days (which is little over a month).
It goes without saying that Beyoncé played a major role in boosting the popularity of Maple Syrup Diet. Interestingly, this syrup – Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup (also called the Lemon Detox) – comes from the sap of maple and palm trees. The benefits include weight loss, toxin remover, clears skin and eyes, stronger nails, shiny hair and improved concentration.
Fitness can’t be boring, and ‘facts’ never. Here are some facts on Beyoncé which will bring you closer in knowing the ‘hidden’ facts about her.
