Beyoncé Giselle Knowles posed for the cover of Shape magazine's April 2013 issue, showing off her bikini body. In the interview, she talked about gaining 57 pounds during her pregnancy and how she lost the weight by eating a low-calorie diet and replacing pasta and rice with quinoa. She also shared her daily diet, which includes breakfast with scrambled egg whites, a vegetable smoothie, or whole-grain cereal with low-fat milk, and lunch and dinner with a lot of fish and vegetables. Beyoncé wanted to inspire women to achieve their goals, and Shape's editor-in-chief praised her for being willing to talk about weight, which can be a touchy subject for women.
