How acclaimed singer Adele lost so much weight

Published

Adele

The 32 year old acclaimed singer shared an incredible weight loss transformation, looking completely different to how she did years ago. Adele hasn’t been fully outspoken and public about her weight loss, instead talking to fans and other sources about her routines and how her journey is going.

She has lost nearly 100 pounds, exercising around 3 times a week. This training consists of Pilates, cross-training, circuit training and cardio.

In addition to the training she follows a strict diet, the “Sirtfood diet”, which focuses on eating sirtfoods. Sirtfoods are a group of foods that are nutrient-rich such as cocoa, strawberries and kale. The diet further claims that certain foods listed activate sirtuins, a form of protein that is found in plants that protect cells against inflammation. This speeds up the metabolism, helping to lose weight as more fat is burned quicker, as well as slowing down the aging process.

Furthermore, she has cut down on drinking alcohol (which definitely doesn’t help with weight loss) and is starting to eat real food more. She also cut out smoking, coffee (nearly ten cups a day!) and citrus or tang based foods.

Adele claims the diet is rather boring, but decided to take her health much more seriously since her 2011 vocal haemorrhage, stating that she was terrified of damaging her voice.

Moreover, Adele focuses on being happy and healthy. There are some who speculate the weight loss is to do with her split between her ex-husband and her. However, she wants to be a good example to her son, and to be healthy.

With the weight loss, she is feeling healthier and happier, and has a steady routine of working out, as well as a strict diet.

She looks great and feels great, and can expect to stay like that if she continues her routine.

Elsa swears by home cooking, with complex carbs such as sweet potato, as well as green juices full of nutrition.

Keep the food simple
