The curvy singer and actress is not so curvy anymore because she chose to lose a lot of weight to make her character in the 'Dreamgirls' picture more believable.

Beyonce said that her secret diet is nothing spectacular (unlike Mimi's all-pink food) and that it consists of eating exclusively cereal. That actually means that, all day long, she has only breakfast. Her favorite kind of cereal is granola in particular as it helps her to avoid best hunger pains and sensations.

Knowles said that the producers of the movie, based on the story of Diana Ross and The Supremes, didn't require her to slim down but that she willingly chose to do so.

'I actually gained a little bit, but then I lost 20 pounds - when I went from young Deena to old Deena. I wanted it to be something more than just make-up and hair. I wanted to see the change'. And anybody can see that change without the slightest effort.
The movie 'Dreamgirls', based on the many-awarded 1981 Broadway musical, will be released at the end of this year and rumor already has it that it stands great chances to even take home some Oscar statuettes.
