“They had me on that treadmill — I ate lettuce!” shouted the singer on stage at her concert in May, last year. Mrs. Carter became Sasha Fierce once again, after gaining a “whooping” 60 pounds caused by her baby girl Blue Ivy. By teaming up with trainer Marco Borges who suggested she adopt a partial vegan diet combined with exercise, Mrs. Carter/Sasha Fierce/Queen B/Baddie Bey/Beyonce successfully shed her baby weight and is fiercer than ever.

Some of you may be wondering, what is partial veganism? It is the method where you swap a meat meal with a vegan meal (no animal products) once a day, everyday.

Studies have shown that adopting a plant based diet will naturally produce weight loss and are enriched with antioxidants and fiber (both linked to losing weight!) Cynthia Ross, author of  S.A.S.S yourself Slim and advocate for veganism, gives the following steps to easily transition your diet into a plant based one.

1. Eat More Produce. vegetables and grains

Typically the American diet consists of mostly animal products and processed foods (high in calories) and very little produce (low in calories.)  If you simply swap a snack of  eight cheese cubes and eight club crackers (260 calories)  with a dozen baby carrots and a quarter cup of hummus (165 calories), you will be on the right track! Remember baby steps is better than no steps at all!

2. Season Your Greens.

Because the taste of greens can be bland and unsatisfying to our taste buds, adding natural seasoning like cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper and garlic will make your greens tasty and delicious. These spices also help boost your metabolism and can lead to greater weight loss.

3. Add Whole Grain.

A  small serving of whole grain such as quinoa, black rice or oats provide the body with antioxidants, additional fiber and slow-burning carbs that keep blood sugar and insulin levels regulated.

4. Exercise.

Doing 30-40 minutes of cardio with toning exercises, along with keeping an exercise journal to log how you feel after your workout, will make you SASHA FIERCE!

Here are some of his workout moves that you can incorporate into your exercise routine!

(Do 8 to 12 repetitions move, three times a week.)
