The reality of being a celebrity is people look up to you but thats not always positive. Adele recently shocked fans by debuting her dramatic weight loss and followers flocked to the comments section of her Instagram, complimenting the 31-year-old songstress on her slimmed-down physique. And they had an important question for her: How did Adele manage to drop so much weight so quickly?
A-listers often promote less than healthy lifestyles, especially iftheyre preparing for a movie role or going on tour. But Adele has always beensuch a shining example of body positivity and proving that women can be beautifulat any size.
The British singer/songwriter still looks exceptional. But healthexperts worry her fans might try to follow the same restrictive, possibly dangerousdiet regimen Adele used to shed pounds.
Adele isnt theonly famous name to hop on the Sirtfood Diet bandwagon. Apparently, Catherine,the Duchess of Cambridges sister Pippa Middleton is also a fan.
The Sirtfood Diet focuses on incorporating low-calorie foods and green juices in specific combinations. Users report significant weight loss because the regimen is incredibly restrictive and limits users calorie intake to 1,000 calories in the beginning and 1,500 calories on the last day. Sirtfood comes from the incorporation of foods high in sirtuin activators, which are believed to increase your metabolism and burn fat.
The vastlyreduced caloric intake is the main issue health experts have with the diet.And because its so restrictive, its not a practical long-term weight losssolution. In other words, if Adele starts eating a more typical 2,000 calorieper day diet again, she could easily gain back all the weight she lost.
For the first week of the Sirtfood Diet, followers stick to drinking three green smoothies per day with just one small meal. Though Adele lost a huge amount of weight following the plan, once she returns to normal eating that weight can come back.
With restrictions like that, its easy to see how the singer lost a considerable amount of weight. However, nutritionists caution that following these types of diets can be dangerous for your body. Famed personal trainer Alice Liveing called out Adeles trainer on Instagram, calling her methods shady.
For the record, no credible trainerwould agree to their client eating only 1,000 [calories] a day, Clean EatingAlice wrote. She went on to accuse Adeles trainer Camila of using her celebrityclients to gain notoriety.
Besides just the eating plan, Adele alsoincorporated a newworkout regimen which included a combination of cardio, circuit training, andPilates.
Besides the Instagram caption, I usedto cry but now I sweat, Adele hasnt been too candid about her dramatic weightloss or the impact its had on her life. The Grammy-award winner split from herhusband Simon Konecki in April 2019 and finalized her divorce in September.
Its clear that Adele is on a journey ofself-discovery as a single mother with a total lifestyle overhaul. But fans hopeshes not overdoing it with an overly restrictive diet that may not be veryhealthy.
