Beyoncé is considered by many to be a role model for strong self-confidence about her body. Not only does she have curves, but she also has toned arms and legs and an overall fantastic figure. However, it took the mother of three a while to figure out how to be the best version of herself - and how to achieve it in a healthy way. “I’m not naturally slim,” the 37-year-old singer admitted during an appearance on “Good Morning America.” “I have curves. I've struggled with diets and found something that works for me." So what does Beyoncé's diet look like today? Here we've compiled everything Mrs. Carter has learned about healthy eating.
Beyoncé relies on a plant-based diet
While Beyoncé is not a full vegan, she and her husband Jay-Z believe in the benefits of a predominantly plant-based diet. The Carters already have 2013chose the vegan lifestyle, after announcing a partnership with trainer and nutritionist Marco Borges.

Although Bey doesn't eat meat-free all the time, she claims that the 22 Days Nutrition program has really changed her eating habits.
Every now and then, Beyoncé goes completely vegan - for example, in preparation for a big event like Coachella - and she claims that it's good for her body. To prepare for her appearanceCoachella 2018To prepare, Beyoncé went vegan for 44 days.
„We used to think of health as diet– some worked for us, some didn’t work at all. “But since we embraced health as the truth, it has become our mission to share that truth and lifestyle with as many people as possible,” Bey and Jay recently wrote in the foreword to Borges’ latest book, “The Greenprint: Plant-Based Diet “Best Body, Better World”.
Breakfast
Like many other celebrities, Beyoncé tries to eat clean and avoid processed foods. “I always have breakfast – e.g. B. a white scrambled egg, oneVegetable smoothieor whole-grain cereal with low-fat milk,” she told “Shape” magazine. When she does a vegan challenge, she gives herself oneAvocado-Toast.
When Beyoncé doesn't have time for a meal, she makes a plant-based protein shake. “I try to drink at least 3.5 liters of water with lemon every day,” she told People.
lunch and dinner
Beyoncé told Shape that her average lunch consists of "lots of fish and vegetables."
According to Elle, one of her favorite plant-based salads comes from Los Angeles vegan hotspot Café Gratitude. The salad consists of kale, cucumber, carrots, nori leaves, coriander, basil, spring onions and roasted almonds and is refined with a dressing of tahini, lemon, olive oil, garlic and sesame oil.
Borges also revealed that the singer loves a crunchy salad made with arugula, red quinoa, melon and slivered almonds, served with olive oil, apple cider vinegar and maple syrup.
No more crash diets
To prepare for her role in Dreamgirls (2006), Beyoncé did the Master Cleanse - also known as the cayenne pepper, maple syrup and lemon juice cleanse. The singer was under pressure to lose 20 pounds quickly and admitted to Oprah that while it helped her lose weight, it wasn't healthy.
“I wanted to lose weight and change physically. And it was difficult because I love to eat,” she said. “I fasted for 14 days and managed to lose weight.”
Beyoncé's lemonade diet recipe
The lemonade is made from 2 tablespoons lemon juice or lime juice, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1/10 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 250 ml water. Drink 6 to 12 glasses of lemonade every day for a period of 10 days. That's the only thing you eat. To support detoxification, a laxative tea is also allowed in the morning and before going to bed. A salt water rinse is also recommended for a stronger colon cleanse. It consists of 950 ml of warm water and 2 teaspoons of non-iodized sea salt and is drunk first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
Harvard Medical School reports that the medical risks of the cayenne pepper and lemon regimen are enormous. These include: deficiency of essential nutrients, dehydration, electrolyte deficiency, impaired intestinal function and metabolic acidosis. On the Mayo Clinic website, gastroenterologist Michael Picco says that most doctors don't recommend colon cleanses because "the digestive system and intestines naturally eliminate waste and bacteria."
Cheat Meals
While Beyoncé eats healthy most of the time, she knows how important it is to treat herself from time to time. “I always treat myself to a cheat meal on Sundays. I can have anything I want. “Usually pizza is my favorite,” she told Shape magazine. Some of her other favorite cheat meals include pasta, soul food (the name given to traditional African American cuisine), and Cheetos.
While the singer doesn't consume too much alcohol, she does enjoy drinking something alcoholic on occasion. Some of her favorite alcoholic drinks are red wine, rosé and limoncello.
While Beyoncé is undoubtedly disciplined with her diet, her approach to food is super healthy and totally doable. While she primarily focuses on healthy eating, she also occasionally treats herself - because life is too short, right?
