In case you missed Beyoncé’s big announcement this morning on Good Morning America, let us fill you in: the singer opened up about her vegan diet, The 22-Day Revolution, and revealed the meal plan is responsible for her weight loss.
Sound familiar? That’s because it’s the same diet Bey has been promoting since February when she announced her partnership with nutritionist and exercise physiologist Marco Borges.
“I am not naturally the thinnest. I have curves. I’m proud of my curves and I have struggled since a young age with diets and finding something that actually works, actually keeps the weight off, has been difficult for me,” Jay Z‘s wife said in a clip airing this morning on GMA, which was advertised as the “first time” she’s spoken out on camera about the diet.
While the information is nothing new, the announcement was heavily hyped with a dramatic promo. “Beyoncé has something amazing that she wants you to know. So what is it?” a teaser clip promised.
So, when the major news turned out to be a plug for the recording artist’s nutrition plan, loyal members of the Beyhive were less than pleased, taking to social media to express their disappointment, in addition to spamming Bey’s Instagram account with emojis of French fries, burgers, drumsticks, donuts and more. Here’s what they’re saying:

Beyonce hasn’t even promoted her own MUSIC like she’s promoted Veganism in the last 4 years.
