And her legions of fans, desperate to follow in her footsteps, have been left asking exactly how Adelemanaged to trim down.
The Rolling In The Deep hitmaker has used a combination of weight loss techniques - and has completely overhauled her diet and fitness regime.
In particular, she has been trying something called the Sirtfood Diet, which even allows slimmers to eat dark chocolate and drink red wine.
The Sirtfood Dietencourages slimmers to eat plant foods such as kale and buckwheat.
These foods, known as sirtuin activators, suppress appetite and activate the body's "skinny gene".
A sirtfood is high in sirtuin activators, explains nutritionist Aidan Goggins, co-author of the bestselling bookThe Sirtfood Diet.
Sirtuins are a type of protein that protect cells from dying or becoming inflamed.
"They can also kickstart your metabolism, regulate your appetite, boost muscle tone and burn fat.
For the first three days, you restrict calorie intake to 1,000 calories a day
For the first three days, you restrictcalorie intake to 1,000 calories a day, which includes drinking three sirtfood green juices plus eatingasirtfood-rich meal and snacking on antioxidant-packed sirtfood bites, says Aidan.
For the last four days,you up the calorie intake to 1,500 calories a day by consuming two sirtfood-rich meals and two green juices, cutting out the bites.
You can do this plan for up to two weeks, after which its all about adjusting it to suit your lifestyle.
There are no set rules just try to include as many sirtfoods as possible in your diet, which should make you feel healthier, more energetic and improve your skin, as well as making you leaner, says Aidan.

Clients who have carried on with the diet have seen continued and sustained weight loss of over two stone.
The Sirtfood Diet allows slimmers to eat dark chocolate and drink red wine, because they are high in sirtuins.

As well as the rest of the nation in lockdown,Adele has secretly been following Joe Wicks' high intensity workout videos.
Adele has increasingly been training at home following herhigh-profile split from husband Simon Konecki, 45, in April 2019.
She is also a fan of personal trainer Dalton Wong, who helps actors get into shape for roles, including her palJennifer Lawrence.
On top of this, The Sun revealed last year that thehitmaker had taken up reformer pilates with pal Ayda Field.
I used to drink ten cups a day with two sugars in each so I was on 20 sugars a day
The exercise classes involve a strange contraption to improve posture, flexibility and balance.
Adele has also ditched tea to shed the pounds - after previously admitting sheused to drink about ten cups of tea a day.
She said: "I used to drink ten cups a day with two sugars in each so I was on 20 sugars a day.
"Now I don't drink it and I have more energy than ever."
Tips for weight loss success
Lots of us eat and drink more than we realise and do little physical activity. The result is often weight gain.
To lose weight, we need to change our current habits. Thismeans eating less even when eating ahealthy, balanced diet and getting more active.
Fad dietsand exercise regimes that result in rapid weight loss are unlikely to work for long, because these kinds of lifestyle changes cannot be maintained. Once you stop the regime, you're likely to return to old habits and regain weight.

Adele's life mantra has always been about focusing on happiness first and looks second.
She previously said: "I think no matter what you look like, the key is to first of all be happy with yourself.
"And then you know if you want to try to improve things that you dont like about yourself, then do it after you appreciate yourself."
