The British singer Adele has lost a lot of weight and is looking incredibly good these days. Now fans are wanting to know the secret of how she lost weight so fast.

The Grammy award-winning artist kept out of the limelight for a few years then last October she turned up at Drake’s birthday party sporting a curvaceous, sexy new look. Heads turned and tongues started wagging. How had she lost so much weight?

A picture posted on her Instagram page quickly amassed over 3 million likes. Presumably referring to her joy at being slim and the way she did it, Adele posted the picture alongside the message “I used to cry but now I sweat”.

Adele was looking good again a couple of months later at her Christmas bash. Fans were pleased to see how happy she looked, but some of the singer’s admirers began worrying about her and saying she was becoming too thin.

That’s not unusual. That old saying is true. You can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time. Most of Adele’s fans agree she’s never looked better.

A lot of the concern was due to a specific picture but, as several Twitter users point out, it may have just been a problem with the camera angle.

Adele’s Weight Loss Secret Revealed

So, how did Adele lose weight? She began using the Sirtfood Diet. This has some health experts worrying her fans may do the same.

The Sirtfood Diet involves a very restrictive eating regimen. The people who created the diet say sirtfoods shift unwanted fat and prevent disease. That same is said about a lot of fad diets and health experts say following the Sirtfood diet may not be a good idea.

 

What Is The Sirtfood Diet?

The Sirtfood diet was invented in Britain by a couple of celebrity nutritionists working in a private gym. They say it’s the diet that turns on your “skinny gene”.

However, although the diet may have got Adele looking good, it’s so low in calories it would be impossible not to lose weight. Is this just a low-calorie diet with an added spin?

The average woman needs to eat around 2,000 calories per day to maintain her normal weight. If she gets less than that her body will begin to burn fat to make up for the energy deficit caused by the reduction in food.

If you do the Sirtfood Diet you are only meant to consume 1,000 calories per day so how could you not burn fat? Any diet can do the same.

As many experts will tell you, trying to survive on only 1,000 calories per day is not a good idea.

When you do the Sirtfood Diet you are only allowed to eat certain foods and a big part of the system involves drinking green juice. You do this up to three times per day.

The Sirtfood Diet stems from research that shows a group of seven proteins called sirtuins (SIRTs) that are found in your body regulate many biological functions including metabolism and lifespan. Foods that contain the same proteins are sirtfoods.

The Sirtfood Diet involves consuming the 20 top sirtfoods including kale, onions, parsley, and soy. Red wine is a sirtfood too. So is coffee.

Many of the foods the diet allows, including kale and blueberries, are very nutritious and healthy but experts argue the Sirtfood Diet is too prohibitive on what you can and cannot eat and only eating 1,000 calories per day is too extreme. (Healthline’s Detailed Guide to the Sirtfood Diet)

In Summary

Adele lost weight by following the Sirtfood Diet. It worked well for her and she looks slimmer and appears to be happier. Does that mean you should do the Sirtfood Diet too? Expert opinion suggests no.

Crash dieting is never a good idea. Many people who use these types of fast weight loss methods find the weight they lose comes back fast. So far, this does not appear to be the case with Adele, but there are exceptions to every ruled and time will tell.

The human body is the result of thousands of years of evolution. It’s a very advanced biological machine that needs to be fueled by a broad spectrum of nutrients. The Sirtfood Diet is too restrictive in nutrients and too hardcore.

If you want to lose weight healthily, eat a balanced diet that is nutrient-rich but low in calories. If you are a woman try not to go lower than 1,500 calories a day. Men can eat 500 calories more. This should cause a calorie deficit and help you to lose weight.

Presuming you have no health or mobility issues that prevent you from doing so, getting more exercise will help you burn extra calories and lose weight a little faster. If you don’t want to go to the gym, try walking more often and take the stairs instead of the lift.

If hunger becomes an issue a good appetite suppressing diet pill can help. A cheaper alternative may be to drink a couple of glasses of water to help make your stomach feel full. Eating meals that are high in fibre can also be a good way to keep hunger pangs away.

Above all else, make healthy food choices and try and get your five pieces of fruit and vegetable each day. Go for more if you can. Fruits and vegetables aren’t just a good source of nutrients, they provide antioxidants as well.
