Beyonce Weight Loss



I have been noticing a lot of magazine covers this week talking about Beyonce and her weight loss after having a baby. Sure Beyonce is a huge pop star so I thought I would look into it and see how she was able to get backin shape again so quickly.

According to eonline she lost her weight the old fashioned way.

Meanwhile, as for her enviable physique, Beyoncé admitted to gaining about 50 pounds during her pregnancy, but says she’s now, nearly four months after Blue’s arrival, just “three to four pounds” away from her prebaby weight. And there’s no secret as to how—just good old-fashioned hard work.

“I lost most of my weight from breast-feeding and I encourage women to do it; It’s just so good for the baby and good for yourself,” she said, noting that she breast-fed Blue for 10 weeks.

From there, she went the old-fashioned route, counting calories and working out “three to four times a week.” That, and “staying away from anything delicious.”

But as we all know in the past Beyonce has gone for a lot of different types of weight loss. People Magazine on their cover this month called Beyonce “The Most Beautiful Woman on the World” and that is a lot to live up to.

I know that also back just a few years ago Beyonce was a big proponent and supporter of the Master Cleanse, or Lemonade Diet which is a 10-14 day plan where you just drink a maple syrup, lemon, cayenne pepper and water mixture.

Besides the regular diet that she has done over the last little while she also is a very determined fitness fanatic and will spend a lot of time working out to keep that great Beyonce body. She runs up to 6 miles several times a week and does boxing workouts which provide an intensive cardio workout and endurance training, which help her to be able to perform well on tour. Beyonce does full body workouts at the gym, using weights to exercise her shoulders and biceps, bodyweight training, such as push ups, sit ups, squats and lunges to work her legs, core and chest.

The Lemonade Diet – Is the Lemonade Diet As Grueling As It Sounds?



Do you think you could consume nothing but lemonade diet for 21 days straight? Many people who have attempted the Lemonade Diet (aka the Master Cleanse) have tried to do just that. While some of these folks are successful in their quest to complete this lofty task, most fall short… way short. This article will help shed some light on this subject.

The Lemonade Diet

One of the first questions people ask before beginning this ambitious undertaking is this: Is the Lemonade Diet actually healthy? I’ve heard this subject debated on more than one occasion, with opponents of the “diet” (which is more accurately described as a liquid fast) claiming that the acids in the lemon can rot your teeth, while others claim that lemons actually have an alkalizing effect on the body, which is always great for energy and weight loss.

Another subject that often arises is the difficulty of this diet. As common sense might suggest, going without food can be unpleasant, to say the least. I know. I’ve tried fasting myself, and by the second day I was absolutely obsessed by the thought of food. I sincerely couldn’t focus on anything else. I broke my fast with a celery stick… then a cup of yogurt… and then some pizza, but that’s neither here nor there!

The Lemonade Diet is tough

The bottom line is that it’s tough. Really tough. I’ve watched YouTube videos of people who have gone on the Lemonade Diet with a 21 day goal in mind, who ended up being very happy with their 14 day run. While they obviously fell a week short of their initial goal, they considered it to be quite an accomplishment nonetheless. Besides, different sources recommend different durations for this process, with 10 days being accepted as the standard in many circles.

So what exactly is this diet? Well, you begin each morning with a saltwater flush which is designed to cleanse your digestive system. This will make you go to the bathroom like nobody’s business, but that’s the point. You want to expel your toxins, which in and of themselves contribute to much of your excess weight and feelings of lethargy (and even depression).

After this, you can drink as much lemonade as you want. Of course, this is a very specific lemonade, consisting of fresh squeezed lemon juice, purified water, grade b maple syrup (or agave syrup), and cayenne pepper. This combination of ingredients is designed to alkalize the blood, hydrate the system, flush toxins from the kidneys and digestive tract, and even assist in cleansing the joints and muscles.

Many people who have stuck to this daily regimen of a morning saltwater flush (using sea salt and purified water), followed by unlimited quantities of lemonade, have experienced weight loss as significant as two pounds per day! So while the Lemonade Diet may be quite challenging to actually adhere to, the The Lemonade Diet benefits and effectiveness are by no means in question.

Eliminate Toxins With the Master Cleanse Diet



Cleansing your body of the dangerous toxins that clog your digestive tract and sabotage your immune system may be the first step you want to take to lose weight and restore your health. The Master Cleanse plan also claims to get rid of cravings that you may have developed from drinking alcohol, coffee and tea and taking certain prescription drugs or smoking.

Basically, the Master Cleanse program entails a very strict diet plan where you only drink fluids made of fresh fruits and vegetables ? and lots of water. No solid food is allowed during the 10-day cleansing period, but can be extended for a longer amount of time, if desired. There are three phases to the Master Cleanse program ? Ease In, Lemonade Diet and Ease Out.

The Ease In phase of the Master Cleanse diet is planned to prepare your stomach and mind for smaller amounts of food, but the fresh fruits and vegetables that you’re allowed to eat satisfies sufficiently so that you don’t feel constantly starved. During Phase 1, you won’t be able to eat processed foods and meat.

Phase 2 is the Lemonade Diet portion of the Master Cleanse program. During this phase you’ll need to produce a bowel movement by one of the recommended methods of ingesting a laxative tea or performing a Salt Water Flush. Since you’re not eating digestible foods, this portion of the Master Cleanse Diet is important to get rid of the toxins that have been accumulating in your body.

The Lemonade part of the Master Cleanse plan requires that you prepare a potion of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper in two quarts of water. This mixture will last all day, so you can divide the portions accordingly. At the end of the day, you’ll flush out your system with the Salt Water Flush to remove unhealthy toxins from your body, including your colon.

Easing Out of the Master Cleanse is essential to the entire cleansing process. This phase includes a gradual easing out of the program while introducing new foods to your body. After enduring a thorough cleansing of your system, you don’t want to begin eating processed food or meat. Not only is this harmful to your body, but the heaviness of these food types may make you sick.

This diet plan will help you lose unwanted pounds and also will rid your body of toxins such as metals, pesticides, hormones that are ingested through food products, drugs and chemicals. You’ll feel an immediate burst of energy after the Master Cleanse because your system is working properly.
Although the Master Cleanse program involves pre-planning and willpower, it can give you a jump start on a weight loss or detoxification plan.
