Beyoncé has given fans an inside look at her pre-Coachella diet.

In a new video posted to her YouTube, titled 22 Days Nutrition, Beyoncé revealed she weighed 79kg before committing to a 44-day diet consisting of organic, non-GMO, plant-based food.

The video features behind-the-scenes footage of the singer in rehearsals and in the kitchen, preparing for her now-historic headlining set at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival last April.

At the time, she had just given birth to her and Jay Z's twins. She also revealed that she weighed 218 pounds (98.8kg) when she went into labour.

"I’m back on the stage after giving birth to twins," she said. "I was a woman that felt like my body was not mine."

The new video promotes the 22 Days Nutrition programme, which was created by exercise physiologist Marco Borges.

Together, the pair launched a meal planner that gives fans access to tools and recipes "that empower everyone to become their healthiest self through proper nutrition".

"It's time to work, so I have to get in that zone, it’s like a different headspace," she said. "Me getting the weight off was so much easier than getting back in shape and my body feeling comfortable."

Following the release of the video, fans took to social media to share their reactions. Here is a snapshot of some of the reactions:
