Beyonce warns against diet

Beyonce likes her curves

Pop star Beyonce Knowles has warned women not to follow her maple syrup diet and insists: "I'm very happy with my curves."

The singer lost about 6kg in 10 days on the liquid fast, as she prepared for a role in her new film Dreamgirls.

But after the drastic diet prompted criticism from health experts, Knowles has urged other women to follow a more sensible weight-loss regime and insists she prefers her usual voluptuous figure.

"I would never recommend it to anyone unless you are doing a movie and it's necessary, and you have proper help."
