We have all joined the Beyonce and Jay- Z craze. whether it is their fashion forward wardrobe or unmatched musical talent, The Carters are influencing the world with their every move. Recently, The Most powerful couple in Entertainment embarked on a health journey by becoming vegans for 22 days.
What is veganism you may ask ?
Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products and all other animal-derived ingredients. Many vegans also do not eat foods that are processed using animal products, such as refined white sugar and some wines. Most vegans also avoid the use of all products tested on animals, as well as animal-derived non-food products, such as leather, fur and wool.
Vegan refers to either a person who follows this way of eating, or to the diet itself (about.com)
Why Vegan?
A whole foods plant-based diet is associated with healthy weight and reduction of all of the so-called “diseases of affluence”, diseases that kill those of us living in Western societies. The diseases of affluence include obesity, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and stroke. ( taken from thepurevegan.com)

To gain more insight on changing your standard American diet and going VEGAN, Flawless Fitness LLC interviewed one of the many Yonce’ followers on their 22 days Vegan Journey.
Here is what she had to say
When did you decide to start your health and Fitness Journey ?
where did your inspiration for 22 days vegan come from ?
Beyonce & Jay Z, the documentaries Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, Super Size Me. The book Eat Right for Your Blood Type, Stay Young 10 Proven Steps to Ultimate Health.
What was your favorite meal ? (recipe optional)
Vegetable Stuffed Mushrooms. Portobello mushrooms (corn, onions, green peppers, squash, mixed with spaghetti sauce stuffed inside the mushroom and topped with vegan cheese.)
What was your overall goal? Did you accomplish it ?
Better overall health, clearer skin, for my body to work at it optimal level, and to make a lifestyle change. Yes, even past the 22 day of being vegan I have learned to incorporate more fruits and vegetables and less meat in my diet.
Any words for someone who is considering the challenge ?
Being vegan is a lot easier than thinking about being vegan. A lot of your favorite foods are accidentally vegan and you don’t have to eliminate them from your diet. There are also a lot of vegan alternatives to almost everything.
