Beyonce hits the high notes

Great to see Beyonce has made it to number one in the official UK charts, knocking Shakira and Wycleff off the top after three weeks. Beyonce’s Deja_Vu, recorded with her boyfriend Jay-Z was hotly tipped to shake the Colombian Goddess from her perch following positive midweek sales. Hips Don’t Lie has seen a resurgence in Shakira’s pop career.

Deja Vu is taken off her new album B-Day which is released next week (5th September) in the UK and US. Interestingly, Justin Timberlake saw his first single in three years, Sexyback, enter at 13 on download sales alone. It goes on general sale on Monday.

If you know of any companies making versions of the Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup then this is the time to buy into them!!

If Beyonce claims it worked for her there is no doubt that thousands of people will want to try this regime, however let’s not forget she also has an army of trainers and nutritionists to help her through any regime she wants. Azmina Govindji of the British Dietetic Association warned dieters should treat any “miracle” products with caution.
“There is no evidence that detoxing is any better for you than eating a balanced, healthy diet.

“Fasting for that length of time, whether you are having that drink or any other drink, is likely to give you drastic weight loss anyway because it is all about the deficit of calories.

“It is unlikely to have enough calories or the balance of protein, carbohydrates and essential fats and other …
