1.Beyonce regrets losing baby weight so fast, poses in a bikini
Beyonce has confessed she lost the baby weight too quickly, yet details exactly how she did it in the latest issue of Shape magazine.
The 31-year-old revealed she gained 57lbs (about 26 kilos) while carrying her daughter Blue Ivy and put too much pressure on herself to ‘get back in shape’ quickly.
“I didn’t have a lot of time to lose the weight because I scheduled a show three months after I gave birth, which I would never do again,”‘ she tells Shape magazine.
Beyonce credits 80 percent of her post-baby weight loss to cutting back on food, primarily her favourite, pasta.
“I ate a very low-calorie diet. I stayed away from red meat and ate a lot of fish, replaced pasta and rice with quinoa.
“I always have breakfast, say, scrambled egg whites, a vegetable smoothie, or whole-grain cereal with low-fat milk. For lunch and dinner, I eat a lot of fish and vegetables. And throughout the day, I try to stay hydrated,” Beyonce said.
Before you stock up on quinoa – she insists women should embrace their differences and focus on health rather than the scales.
A sentiment the editor-in-chief of the magazine perhaps doesn’t agree with, “Talking about weight can be a very touchy subject for women, but Beyonce was willing to do it because she wanted to make every woman out there feel like she too could achieve what she did,” says Shape editor-in-chief Tara Kraft.
Wait a minute, weren’t we supposed to be feeling good about ourselves?
Meanwhile Beyonce has released a single, Bow Down, that has critics divided over lyrics such as “I’m so crowned, bow, bow down b*tches,” and “I’m bigger than life, my name in the lights,” and “I’m the number one chick, ain’t need no hype.” Listen here:
