Beyoncé Knowles eats pig skins

Pop beauty Beyoncé Knowles has substituted her cravings for chocolate and chips with low-carb pig skins.

Beyoncé told Cosmopolitan magazine: "It is so tempting on film sets. They have these tables with every kind of chocolates, every type of bread - doughnuts, rolls and even cake.

"I'd just eat pork skins because that's the closest thing to chips that I could eat.

"I run and do press-ups to try and stay in shape, but I can't resist chocolate."

The former Destiny's Child singer also admitted she finds her healthy diet boring.

She said: "I eat a lot of boring things like green vegetables. I don't eat red meat or bread and I don't drink alcohol - I just don't like the taste.

"I also do a lot of dancing which I think is the best exercise."

Beyoncé also revealed that she feels sexiest with bare feet and messy hair.

The 'Dreamgirls' star - who has dated rapper Jay Z for five years - says women who are not overtly sexual are the most attractive.

Beyoncé told Cosmopolitan magazine: "I like to walk around my house with bare feet and messy hair, but that can be sexy, too.
"I have an old-fashioned view on sexuality, in that I don't think it should be in your face.
"It's the opposite of who I am on stage."

The singer-and-actress also revealed she took part in beauty pageants as a child, but hated them and dressed like a tomboy.
She said: "We all have our insecurities and, to this day, I see plenty of things wrong with myself.

"As a young girl I did beauty pageants, but I hated them. I always wore baggy clothes and never won.
"I was a bit of a tomboy when I was a kid and never really thought of myself as pretty."
