The full name of Beyonce Knowles is Beyonce Giselle Knowles Carter. The world famous American singer, actress and songwriter was born on 4 September 1981 at Houston, Texas, U.S.A. She is one of the best selling artists of all times and has won the prestigious Grammy Awards 17 times. Beyonce has got a voluptuous figure. Her height is 5 feet and 6 and a half inches and weight is 59 kilograms.

Beyonce Knowles gave birth to a girl about a year ago. The name of her daughter is Blue Ivy. She has worked quite hard to be in shape after pregnancy. To keep her post baby body fit, she is undertaking a lot of exercises and is following strict diet regime. During the pregnancy period she gained around 60 pounds of weight. To lose this weight she had to eat lettuce and do her workouts on treadmill.

According to Beyonce eating what she wants and not going to gym is not an option for her. According to her being in shape requires more mental strength than physical strength and it is important to work hard on whatever program you follow.
