Beyonce thinks young women under too much pressure to lose weight

Singer Beyonce thinks young women are put under too much pressure to lose weight and not all men like skinny girls.

The wife of rapper Jay-Z believes that losing weight is hard.

When asked about how she lost weight for her tour, the Crazy In Love singer said: “Oh, it’s hard! When I was a teenager it was always hard for me to lose weight before the summer so I could look hot in my bathing suit. I’d always tell my mum it was her fault, as she made incredible fried chicken and other fried foods. So I basically worked out and ate lots of salads. It’s a matter of motivation.”

Beyonce, 28, added: “The only thing that really motivates me to lose weight is when I have to get ready for a film or go on tour. But I’m not obsessive about my weight. Young women have too much pressure on them and the main thing is to eat healthy foods and exercise. That’s my message.”

The star, whose new single Broken Hearted Girl is due to be released in November, also said: “Not all men like super skinny girls.”
