HOLLYWOOD - Beyonce Knowles fasted for two weeks to lose 20 pounds for her latest film role, but she wants fans to know she still made sure she was getting the necessary vitamins and minerals.

The former Destiny's Child star took on the drastic diet because she didn't think she'd be able to lose the necessary weight quickly enough--before the filming of movie musical Dreamgirls began.

She says, "I wanted to make a physical transformation because I was playing this role and I wanted to be not Beyonce... It was a big sacrifice.

"I basically ate vegetables, I had a trainer, I was very healthy. I did do a two-week fast but (I took) all the vitamins and nutrients your body needs.

"I normally wouldn't have done that for Beyonce, as a performer, but Dina, as the character, I needed to drop it really fast."

And curvy Beyonce admits she has no plans to keep all the weight off, and has already gained back half of what she lost: "I've put on 12 (pounds)."

so now she refers to herself in the 3rd person!? :rolleyes:

Why did she have to drop the weight really fast? Did she not find out about the job until two weeks before starting? She has no plans to keep it off because there's no way in hell she'll be able to. She'll probably gain back twice as much after such drastic dieting. Try thinking ahead next time, dumbass.

Bad example. Beyonce is a role model for females with curves? I don't think so. I hope she gains 40lbs back.

she's a good example of ugly women who make it big in the entertainment industry.

Stupid bitch.

Guess she trying to one up Janet Jackson in the fasting habit. Wonder if she'll blow up to 200lbs when this movie is out. hmmmmm

Stupid.

When you are fasting you are NOT eating... Eating vegetables is not fasting... Anyway, mission complete. Hope she is not ending up like the guy in The Machinist even if it is "for a movie" or not...

Doctors put people on modified fasts all the time. There is even a "fat" fast-it jump starts the metabolism and features food like sour cream and fried pork rinds.

she sounds conceited. !!! Already knew that though. Referring to herself in the first person? Candace doesn't like that :D

dumb!

Yes, I've heard it too. Even fasts with only brown rice and water...

I just thought fasting was not eating anything, only drinking water or juice...
