Beyonce's diet 'a hard act to follow'

Following the popularity of the Maple Syrup Diet after Beyonce reported that it had helped her shed half a stone, a reporter for the Northern Echo decided to put it to the test.

Abigail Johnson undertook the diet, which allows followers to drink only maple syrup with added lemon juice and water for ten days.

Devotees claim that drinking this instead of meals will stave off hunger pangs and dehydration while aiding weight loss.

However, Ms Johnson said that she struggled with the regime, which left her feeling weak, irritable and with a headache.

In fact, she had to add a daily meal of steamed fish or chicken with rice in order to sustain her through the working day.

"After five days the torture had to end - and I'm lost in admiration that Beyonce managed more than that," she commented.

Last month, the Jackson Citizen Patriot reported that detoxing in a manner such as the Maple Syrup Diet may do more harm than good and could be dangerous for pregnant women, teenagers, diabetics and those with heart problems.

Anyone who has experienced difficulties in sticking to diets may which to consider diet supplements such as Night & Day, which is being touted as an important product in the fight against obesity by its manufacturer.
