Bye, bye Popeye’s! Beyoncé becomes a vegan for 22 days

Beyoncé has always shown her unwavering support for her husband Jay Z. For his 44th birthday Jay Z has announced yesterday that he and Mrs. Carter will take part in a 22 day vegan challenge. While today is Jay Z’s actual birthday.

On his website, Life + Times Jay made the following statement:

“Psychologists have said it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. On the 22nd day, you’ve found the way.

On December 3rd, one day before my 44th birthday I will embark on a 22 Days challenge to go completely vegan, or as I prefer to call it, plant-based!! This all began a few months back when a good friend and vegan challenged me to embrace a “plant-based breakfast” everyday. It was surprisingly easier on me than I thought…

Why now? There’s something spiritual to me about it being my 44th birthday and the serendipity behind the number of days in this challenge; 22 (2+2=4) coupled with the fact that the challenge ends on Christmas day…It just feels right!

So you can call it a spiritual and physical cleanse. I will post my progress… Any professional vegans out there that have any great food spots please help out! Please ha. I don’t know what happens after Christmas. A semi-vegan, a full plant-based diet? Or just a spiritual and physical challenge? We’ll see…

Best of luck and health!

P.S. B is also joining me…”

No more Popeye’s *sad face*
