In April 2018, Queen Bey made headlines with her iconic set at Coachella. The performance, which included a Destiny’s Child reunion that made every ’90s kid cry with joy, took place less than one year after giving birth to twins. As a result, fans also couldn’t help but notice that she was in amazing shape.

But as it turns out, Beyoncé took extreme measures to make it happen.

In her latest Netflix documentary, Homecoming, Queen Bey was super honest about what she ate to prepare for her Coachella 2018 performance. According to an article on InStyle, she eliminated all carbs, alcohol, sugar, fish, dairy, and meat from her diet.

Beyoncé’s goal was to lose the weight she had gained while pregnant with her twins, Rumi and Sir.

While her postpartum pre-Coachella eating habits did result in weight loss, Beyoncé now realizes that it wasn’t a smart move. “I have to take care of my body,” she said in the documentary. “I definitely pushed myself further than I knew I could. And I learned a very valuable lesson. I will never, never push myself that far again.”

After all, extreme diets like Queen’s Bey’s pre-Coachella diet don’t provide enough macro- and micronutrients to fuel the body.

Cutting out all carbs deprives the body of glucose.

The human body literally needs glucose in order to survive and thrive.

Unfortunately, carbohydrates have a poor reputation — even though not all carbohydrates are equal.

Whole grains like quinoa and brown rice are rich sources of fiber, a type of carbohydrate.

Fiber increases satiety and prevents hunger later on.

Basically, fiber — a carbohydrate — is one of the best tools for healthy weight loss.

Carbohydrates also help your muscles take up protein.

The other food groups have a place in a healthy, well-rounded diet as well.

Remember, “healthy” isn’t the same thing as “deprivation.”

Eliminating multiple food groups cuts out a wide variety of essential vitamins and minerals.

It can also mess with your metabolism over time.

But thanks to social media and fad diets, it’s all too easy to demonize entire food groups.

Hopefully, people who watch Homecoming will take note of Beyoncé’s experience and realization.

It just goes to show why Queen Bey has become synonymous with “fierce.”

She’s honest, truthful, and real. And we are so here for it!
