Its been reported that Adele used the Sirtfood Diet to shed the pounds, a diet formulated by two celebrity nutritionists.
The diet plan relies on the idea of turning on your skinny gene by focusing on foods that increase levels of a specific protein in the body that helps to regulate metabolism.
The proteins are called sirtuins (SIRTs), and so the founders named the foods containing them sirtfoods as part of their revolutionary plan.
The successful diet plan has been outlined in the founders book, and promises that you can lose as much as seven pounds in seven days.

The best snack according to the Sirtfood pros is a portion of nuts, which have plenty of health benefits.
Nuts are high in healthy fats, as well as being a source of protein, fibre, magnesium and vitamin E.
In fact, some studies have even shown that they can help you to live longer, as they can help to lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
The Sirtfood Diet shared the advice on their Instagram page, with the caption:
The health benefits of nuts? Where do you even start? A true champion food linked to reduced body weight and for slashing the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
They then shared a recipe to add a bit more flavour to walnuts, pecans and cashews for those who are following the healthy diet plan.
And the ultimate snack food? Its hard to argue with that. So to bring a bit of a flavour kick, why not give these tasty Cajun spiced nuts a try?
250g mix of walnuts, pecans and cashews
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp chilli powder
Heat the oven to 160 degrees centigrade/gas mark three.
Mix all the spices together and combine with the nuts and oil. Place the nuts in a single layer on a roasting tray and roast for 25-30 mins.
Tip the toasted nuts into a bowl to cool."
The account regularly posts new recipes to its page for dieters to make at home.
The previous post talked about vegan recipes, saying: While you don't need to be vegan to follow The Sirtfood Diet, it is a celebration of plant foods and their unmatched health benefits.
Plant-based meals are not only great for us but for the health of the planet too. This is why we encourage that people should include some vegan meals in their weekly diet.
The post included an easy chickpea curry recipe from the founders Sirtfood recipe book.
