Beyonce & Jay-Z on "partially vegan" diet

Beyoncé has been maintaining a "partially vegan" diet during her pregnancy, and her rap star hubby Jay-Z decided to join her, according US Weekly. 

Since I have been on a "partially vegan" diet, too, for some months, I'm now interested in the news surrounding it. Yes, I get off the diet sometimes, but I do eat meat during the day and at dinner take it out of the equation. 

It's not difficult, but when you're on the gluten-free/dairy-free diet, it does get hard to be creative with restricting your diet even more.
