Fad Diets

I have heard this one before, and even read other interviews with Beyonce about this diet. She apparently tried this diet for the first time before the movie Dream Girls when she had to shed many pounds, and quickly. Beyonce is a woman known for her sexy curves, she flaunts them and rarely strives for that "stick thin" look we so often see in celebs these days. Anyway, this fad diet consisted of a concoction of maple syrup, lemon juice, water, and cayenne pepper. The maple syrup isn't any old Aunt Jemima's, though. It is an organic syrup called Madal Bal Natural Tree that is often used in "fat detoxes" or fasts. Beyonce lost twenty pounds in just fourteen days on this revolting diet. I cannot imagine trying to survive on such a concoction, and although it "worked" Beyonce was not happy during the two weeks of weight loss. You can check out her feelings on it in this article. Lets just say that she was pretty excited to restart her normal eating habits again. Check the quotes!
