After the birth of her twins, Sir and Rumi, Queen of Pop Beyonce, followed with her coach Marco Borges the diet of 22 days plan". The recipes are accessible for a few dozen pounds on the internet, and allow to eat exclusively fruits, vegetables, vegetable proteins, and other foods that make this diet a completely vegan diet. Considered a diet of low-calorie, the diet was deemed to be dangerous by experts because of the suppression of certain nutrients.
Beyonce did not hesitate to promote her diet: "If a Texas woman like me can do it, everyone can do it," reads Beyonce on the preface to the book of his coach, Marco Borges. Its principle is simple and lasts only 22 days. By making a drastic change of habits, we break with gluten, dairy, and meat, to feed on plants, which makes it a strictly vegetarian diet. In addition to the restrictions, the Beyonce diet is entitled to certain foods, which are honored, for example, kale, chia seeds, and other vegan foods such as quinoa or detox vegetables.
Does "Beyonce Coachella Diet of 22 days plan" too dangerous?
"So that I can reach my goals, I limit myself to not eating bread, no carbohydrates, no sugar, no dairy products, no meat, no fish, no alcohol ... I'm hungry,", she complains in the Netflix documentary, "Homecoming."
However, Daniel O'Shaughnessy, nutritionist of the British Association for Nutrition who responded to a BBC interview about this Beyonce vegan diet, warned about its danger. Indeed, he thinks that it can deplete the body and warn about the risks of excluding all products of animal origin, as this can cause deficiencies of iron and vitamins.
The danger of influence
According to O'Shaughnessy, the diet provides very few calories compared to the National Health Service's recommendations of 2,000 calories for women, and 2,500 for men. "It's too weak for anyone. Participants will feel tired and exhausted, especially when they are exercising, "he says on the BBC, adding," It could be dangerous for a lambda person to follow this diet without a team of nutritionists. Coaches like Beyoncé. This necessarily means that despite the accessibility of the plan, monitoring is crucial.
He also questioned the nutritional values declared on the internet: the example of the "Vegan Sandwich" is revealing since it actually contains 24g of protein, not 36 according to what is reported.
In any case, it is essential to sound the alarm because the influence of Beyonce is considered very important: "This is worrying because it is followed by a large number of adolescents who can be influenced. Beyonce is a gateway to millions of people. Adds the nutritionist, who finds it very unwise to follow the influence of the stars when it comes to food.

Beyonce's coach also commented on the controversy by saying that the singer "is always aware of the importance of proper nutrition and physical exercise for a healthy and happy lifestyle. ". He willingly bounces on criticism of her by saying that she is aware of the importance of daily drills and that this is hard work to achieve her goals.
Nevertheless, this is still insufficient for some fans, she reassured before her pregnancy, defending the curves. Indeed, in an interview for Vogue magazine, she had already said: "I think it is important for women and men to see and appreciate the beauty of natural bodies."
