Ironically, while Mooch touts Beyonce as a role model for healthy eating, the singer says she did nothing but eat lettuce (which has almost zero calories) and run on a treadmill to lose weight.

Michelle Obama, who attended a Beyonce concert over the weekend, praised the singer on Tuesday for jumping to support the first lady’s healthy eating and exercise initiatives.
“Beyonce stepped up in a way that so many of our celebrities and athletes are stepping up on the issue,” she told ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
The first lady attended a concert Saturday night in Atlantic City, N.J., along with her two daughters.
Obama and the singer have exchanged praise over the past month, each calling the other a “role model” for her children in comments released through social media. Michelle Obama told People magazine in an interview published last week that she would choose to be Beyonce if she could be anyone else.
“Anybody who’s got talent, I’m all for,” she explained to ABC. “But Beyonce has just been a tremendous supporter of Let’s Move. Without asking, she reformulated ‘Move your body’ to do a flash mob of kids across the country.”
Beyonce mentioned exercise at her concert on Saturday, telling the crowd she worked hard to lose baby weight after her first child was born in January.
“They had me on the treadmill, eating lettuce,” she said, according to reports.
