    How To Get A Beyoncé Body: 3 Steps That Get Results

    8 Min Read

    No celebrity consistently kills it in the body department like Beyoncé. What’s her secret?

    The best entertainer over the last two decades has managed to keep a nicely sculptured body like nobody else. How does she do it?

    The Category Is Body. Beyoncé body

    Getting a body like Beyoncé is not about gaining a “figure 8” physique or impossibly thin waist. It’s more about being able to maintain a shape that works for you — and feeling good about it.

    The bottom line is that Beyoncé’s body has been an aspiration for more than two generations of girls and into their womanhood. And you may want to know…

    How Can I Get A Beyoncé Body?

    If you want to get that Bey body, the first thing you should know is that it’s not easy, not even for Queen Bey. 

    “I am not naturally the thinnest woman,” she told Good Morning America. “I have curves. I have struggled with diets and finding something that works for me.”

    Perhaps you can relate. Also, like Beyoncé you may be someone who’s had a child — or three. If so, then that’s pretty amazing that you want to get your body tight, but you should also know that you’re beautiful in your own right.

    It’s OK to reaffirm yourself to get your confidence up. Even Beyoncé had to come to terms with her body at some point.

    She wrote a first-person piece for Vogue lamenting how through her career she capitulated to the world’s standards of how her body should look, but never again.
     
    “After the birth of my first child, I believed in the things society said about how my body should look,” she wrote in Vogue.
    Now let’s get started: Here are three strategies you should put in place to achieve that Beyoncé body.

    1. Adopt Beyoncé’s Workout Routine

    To get Beyoncé’s body, you’re going to have to spend some time in the gym. But how? What does a Beyoncé workout consist of? 

    In the Vogue interview, Beyoncé says that she has the ability to get her body right by going into “beast mode.”
     
    “Whenever I’m ready to get a six-pack, I will go into beast zone and work my ___ off until I have it,” she said.
    But what does Beyoncé’s beast mode consist of? According to her longtime trainer, here’s what the singer has done to get her body toned.
    • Boxing
    • Swinging weighted ropes
    • Lifting free weights
    • Dancing
    “I’ll put on a song that I really like and do [biceps curls with] five-pound weights [for] the whole song and just try to burn out,” she told Self Magazine.

    Invest In Some Free Weights

    You might want to think about investing in some free weights to build muscle and tone along with your workouts. Here are some free weight options from Amazon:
     
    Beyoncé’ says she’s always wanted to become more healthy. As a result, working out became a priority.

     
    One way Beyoncé’ has developed her tight gluts is by doing the kettle bell squat-and-press, which her trainer says that it’s an “exercise that hits all the major muscles. If you did nothing else, you’d still get a great workout,” he told Self.
     
    The kettle bell squat and press is popular with celebrities, by the way.
     
    And don’t think Beyoncé doesn’t get tired and want to quit. Her trainer told Glamour UK, “You run out of gas fast; by pushing through [that fatigue], you develop a ton of endurance.”

    2. Start Beyoncé’s Plant-Based Diet

    To get ready for Coachella, Beyoncé recorded her diet regimen in a video called “22 Days Nutrition.” Mind you, this was right after she’d just gave birth to twins.
     
    In the clip, she starts off by saying: “Good morning, it’s 5 a.m., and this is day one of rehearsals for Coachella.” The scale below her reads 175 pounds. “Every woman’s nightmare,” she then says.
     
    You may be wondering what is the”22 Days Nutrition?” It’s a diet program created and promoted by Beyonce’s trainer Marco Borges. His 22 Days Nutrition Plan is all about getting people to enjoy a plant-based lifestyle on their own terms.
     
    Here’s what Beyoncé’s diet regimen:
    • Removing all processed foods from her diet
    • A 100% plant-based lifestyle
    • A regular exercise routine
    • Plenty of rest

    Here are some great dishes and recipes from Borges’ 22 Days Nutrition Plan, which Beyoncé followed to lose weight.

    “We know the power of vegetables; we know the power of plants; we know the power of foods that are unprocessed and as close to nature as possible,” Borges says.

    Vegan Pancakes

    Recipe by: @ligiasfreshbowls

    Delicious Vegan Pancake Recipe:

    • 1 tbsp whole ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water ( let it sit 6 to 10 min to for a jelly texture)
    • 1 cup oat flour ( gluten free if available)
    • 1 scoop organic PB plant based protein @22daysnutrition ( check out my highlights for code )
    • 2 tbsp avocado oil
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1 tbsp coconut sugar (optional)
    • 1 1/4 cup oat milk ( you might need to use extra 2-3 tbsp if the batter gets thick while cooking the waffles)

    Mix all ingredients in a bowl and make 4 big waffles

    Mix all ingredients in a bowl and make 4 big waffles.

    “Me getting the weight off was so much easier than getting back in shape and my body feeling comfortable,” she says in the video.
     
    If you’re thinking about adopting a similar food plan, get your mind right: Instead of 22 days, Beyoncé followed the diet for 44 days.
     
    That means you’re going to have to get serious!
    In the Homecoming documentary on Netflix, Beyoncé says that, ““In order to meet my goal, I’m limiting myself to no bread, no carbs, no dairy, no meat, no fish, no alcohol. And I’m hungry.”

    Be Balanced With Your Health

    Like any sensible person, Beyoncé makes sure not to overdo it, which would expose her to burn out and perhaps sour her on bettering her body.
     
    If you want to achieve results and be encouraged by them, remember, you’re not a machine. It’s OK to have a cheat day.
     
    “I always treat myself to one meal on Sundays when I can have whatever I want. Usually it’s pizza, which is my favorite indulgence,” she told Shape magazine in 2013.
     
    Another thing, she no longer does is try to please everybody.
     
     “I put pressure on myself to lose all the baby weight in three months, and scheduled a small tour to assure I would do it. Looking back, that was crazy.”
    “During my recovery, I gave myself self-love and self-care, and I embraced being curvier. I accepted what my body wanted to be,” she said in Vogue.

    Bottom Line

    To sum it all up, getting a body like Beyoncé is not an easy feat. For most of us, it’s going to take some lifestyle changes and determination. Take it from Bey!

    “You have to push yourself,” she told Self magazine. “It doesn’t matter what trainer you have. And it doesn’t matter what program you’re on. You have to be healthy and make the right choices.”

    Are you ready to get a body like Beyoncé ? Are you ready to get in formation?

    “My whole career has been about breaking down doors, and this campaign represents everything I’ve overcome so far,” said Lil Nas X. “It’s about walking into new chapters of life, new experiences and new versions of myself, and it’s rooted in authenticity and self-expression—two things I really care about. It was really fun collaborating with Stuart and Petra to bring this to life.”

    Africa’s Brain Bank Summit & Charity Event Happening In Atlanta

    3 Min Read

    Africa’s Brain Bank, an organization committed to the unity of peoples on the African continent and the diaspora, is hosting its third annual Summit & Charity Ball on October 8 and 9, 2022 at the Atlanta Airport Marriott Hotel.

    The upscale event will convene leaders and experts from various industries for important dialogue, networking, intercontinental business transactions, and to unite all people of African descent.

    When Is Africa’s Brain Bank Summit & Charity Ball?

    The event will start on Saturday, October 8th with the following schedule of events:

    • ·Academic Symposium: 8:30 AM to 12:00PM
    • Red Carpet: 5:30PM to 6:50PM
    • Africa’s Brain Bank Summit: 7:00PM to 8:30PM
    • Dinner and Ball: 8:30PM to 2:00AM

    With Extraordinary growth taking place in Africa, 60% of the continent’s population under age 25, and the desire for Africans and Black Americans to bridge the gap and work together, there are plentiful opportunities for business and collaboration.

    Established in 2018 by Founder and CEO, Rev. Pamela Fomunung, Africa’s Brain Bank is on a bold mission to eliminate Africa’s “brain drain,” which refers to the historic looting and exploitation of Africa’s people, talent, ideas and resources. To achieve this goal, the organization is creating a digital repository of Africa’s intellectual capital, brain power, and fostering the flow of business between people of African descent worldwide to elevate the continent and the diaspora.

    “I am so excited about the fact that we are coming together as one. I view this as a big family reunion,” said. Rev. Fomunung.

    “For so long our brain power has been scattered across the world, and now we can harness it from the comfort of our homes. We can deposit our intellectual property and make withdrawals. Think about the transactions you make through the bank. If you send a Zelle to somebody, you are transferring money. Now, imagine sending a Zelle of your expertise to somebody in Lagos or Cape Town without having to physically go there. That is what Africa’s Brain Bank is about.”

    Speakers include Motown’s First A&R Man Sir William “Mickey” Stevenson, who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in June of 2022 (worked with Marvin Gay, the Supremes, Stevie Wonder and other superstars), iconic Nollywood actor and attorney Richard Mofe-Damijo, Hon. Johnny Ford, former Mayor of Tuskegee, AL and Founder of the World Conference of Mayors, Doll Avant, founder and CEO of Aquagenuity, wealth strategist and award-winning insurance agent Douglas Eze, Ambassador Dr. Amina Smaila, Nigerian Consul General in Atlanta, Lisa Sylvester Acogny, Co-founder and Chair of International Relations for Knowledge-First International Academy, and several academic symposium speakers.

    The powerful lineup will address critical issues facing the African continent, explore synergies, share the extraordinary opportunities that exist to do business and establish a presence in Africa, and provide pathways and guidance for those African diasporans who yearn to visit or relocate to the Motherland.

    “Healthcare is a big issue, as we don’t have enough hospitals or healthcare facilities,” Rev. Fomunung said. “Other industries with major opportunities are in hotels, real estate, agriculture, finance, transportation, education and telecommunications. The opportunities are unlimited.”

    Educators and students from various Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) will be present at the summit, including from Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morris Brown and more.

  • Hurricane Ian

    Tropical Storm Ian Watch: How To Prepare For A Big Storm In Georgia

    4 Min Read

    Ian has been downgraded to a tropical storm but is still capable of producing deadly winds and storm surge, weather experts said early Thursday.  Along with battering Florida, the storm is still expected to impact parts of Georgia and South Carolina with strong winds and heavy rains over the next few days.

    This article will tell you how Tropical Storm Ian is expected to impact Georgia as well as what steps you should take to stay safe in a major storm.

    When Will Hurricane Ian Hit Georgia?

    Weather experts predict that Tropical Storm Ian will move into Georgia on Friday afternoon into Saturday morning.

    Coastal Georgia will bear the brunt of Hurricane Ian, including cities Brunswick and Savannah, which are likely to see waves of torrential rain and storm surge. While it will still be a major storm, Ian should shrink in size in strength by the time it hits the Peach State. This is mainly due to its weakening over land for a significant period of time. That doesn’t mean that Georgia is out of the woods though. Some areas will see flooding while others will only get wind sheer, including parts of North Georgia. The storm is expected to lap metro Atlanta, affecting some of its outer counties with wind and rain.

    What Will Be Tropical Storm Ian’s Impact On Georgia?

    While the ranges vary, weather forecasters say coastal Georgia could see anywhere from four to six inches of rain along with tropical-storm-like winds.

    Here is Ian’s projected path according to National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration early Thursday.

    Take These Safety Steps To Stay Safe In A Major Storm

    In the event that a major storm hits Georgia, including metro Atlanta, there are some things you can do to prevent the worst of conditions from occurring.

    Buy A Generator

    Most appliance stores sell either whole-house or portable generators, which are sufficient for major storms and hurricanes.

    Remember to never run a generator in an enclosed space. They generate deadly fumes that can kill you. Here are some top portable generators you can purchase.

    Champion Power Equipment 100519 6250-Watt Open Frame Inverter

    Stock Up On Canned Goods

    You’d be surprised how good some food in a can tastes when you’re starving. Hopefully, you never have to find out, but to be safe, it’s a good idea to have some canned goods stored for a rainy day.

    Here are some food stuffs you should invest in:

    Swanson Chicken & Dumplings W/ White & Dark Chicken Meat

    Have A Go-Bag Ready

    When it’s time for you to flee your home, it can be very hectic trying to find the items you will think you need to take with you. That’s why it’s always a good idea to prepare a go-bag — a book sack or bag filled with your necessities — so that you can be on the move in a hurry.

    What are some things to put in a go-bag?

    Final Word

    Although your emotions may run high during a storm, it’s very important that you stay level-headed and make safety of you and yours a priority.

    Georgia doesn’t often get hurricanes, but they do happen from time to time.

    Another key thing you can do is tell someone where you are. Don’t go in alone in a big storm. If you can communicate to someone ahead of time, before the storm, tell them where you’ll likely be; it will be a big help. The good thing that you should always remember is that storms pass!
