The Water and Cayenne Pepper Diet

Apparently Beyonce Knowles used a water and cayenne pepper diet to slim down for her role in the forthcoming film "Dreamworld" and as a result became "too thin" according to a recent press release Beyonce Lost Weight on Water Diet.

She dropped 20lbs literally by starving herself while all around carried on eating on the set. Not a good role model to follow - but it does show how dedicated stars have to be to get the right image - the one that we all envy.

It's not so easy for them either - the pictures we all see just make it look as if they naturally achieve those perfect bodies when often there a whole team of people, weeks sweating and straining in the gym and a diet that wouldn't feed a sparrow behind it all (not to mention the very handy air-brushing on the pictures).

Update: From reading the comments it seems that some folks believe the cayenne pepper and water diet to be some kind of natural colon cleanse and that may be what is having the effect. Whatever it is I can't say I have tried it or ever will I have to admit :)

I love Beyonce. This is why she has all this money. She makes sacrifices and gets the job done, She's a true diva and star.This section makes her diet sound so negative like she's trying to kill herself. Ridiculous. Go Beyonce!!!

[Janice]

Sorry Latisha, I was just pointing out that it's not easy for stars to look slim either. Sometimes we spend too much time envying them as well as admiring them. A shape like theirs takes dedication - hard work with diet and exercise and is not achieved by lucky genes, miracle diet pills or slimming patches despite their having access to all the diet cures that money can buy.

what was the recipe of cayenne pepper and water? Not quit sure how you prepare?

[Janice]

Hi gi-gi,

I have absolutely no idea - but it sounds awful so I wouldn't recommend it! Not sure why she could not just drink pure honest-to-goodness water - although they do say that spicy food raises the metabolism so that may be why.

This diet sounds a bit extreme - I was just making the point that the stars don't have it so easy with losing weight either even though we envy them.

Hi Inna

Thanks for the recipe though it doesn't sound too inviting. I think I'll still stick to water and peppermint tea :)

well i just have to say 1st the name of the movie is dreamGIRLS not dreaWORLD. next this is not a diet its a cleanse for the colon and kidneys and helps digestion. there is nothing wrong with doin a cleanse, it gets rid of all types of blockage and can be better for you in the long run.

[Janice]

Thanks for the correction Ramica.

The name of the movie is Dream Girls you IDIOT!!!

[Janice]

I think Ramica already said that. I never thought mistyping the name of a movie was a cause for insults but then it takes all types to make a world LOL

1 1/0 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. what's
1 1/0?

[Janice]

Maybe it meant to say one tenth of a teaspoon - but this cayenne pepper diet doesn't sound like a good plan to me anyway.

It's true that spicy foods can raise your metabolism but I can't imagine that this would do much more than make me feel sick.

And vomiting is definitely NOT a healthy plan.

I actually am currently on this cleansing diet. This is called the master cleanse. A purk to this cleanse is that you do lose weight, but it is primarily used as a cleanse as Janice mentioned ealier. I am into the third day and feel completely fine (not suffering). This mixture has not brought any hunger pains. Just the mental want of certain foods

[Janice]

Thanks for posting Dawn and I hope your cleanse works out ok

Well I am about to start the diet 2 morrow and i think it is a very good way to cleanse the body if u follow the directions because i do have a friend who tried it and got sick but only because she put her own spin on it LOL (jerk)!!!!! So My advice is if ur gonna try it do it right!!! I will let u know how it goes wish me luck!!!

[Zion'Anna McDouglas]

I think the diet is safe for 2-3weeks straight. I know 2 people personally who did stick to the plan and lost over 15 lbs in 30days.
Its your mind and how strong you are willing to do it. Besides the drink actually tastes great.

[katelyn]

I want to try it but my question is while drinking the mix what can u eat? how many times a day do u have to drink it? And for how long do u have to do it for? please email me any information thanks =)

[MARIA MEDINA]

I would like to know the diet plan please send me the whole diet. Thanx

[khanyisile]

do you eat anything while on the cayenne diet, and how many times a day do you have to take the drink? i am in Swaziland

[Shana]

I have been doing research on this diet and have attempted to take pills and etc... I am 34 years old and I am 60 pounds overweight. My current weight is 248 pounds. I am thinking about this diet, but I am afraid I will get sick. But looking at how overweight and unhealthy I am I think it's worth the risk.

[Memory Gonzalez]

have you tried these diet and did work.
