The Sirtfood diet, which Adele was first reported trying in 2017, requires you to eat lots of “sirtfoods” to regulate the body’s metabolism, inflammation levels, and aging. Sirtfoods, a “food group” not actually considered such by nutrition professionals, including green tea, citrus fruit, parsley, kale, capers, blueberries, apples, and even red wine.
The calorie-restrictive nature of the diet means it’s likely not sustainable long term for weight loss, and the shortlist of foods it provides could be limiting nutrient intake.
At the start of the diet, you’re supposed to restrict yourself to just 1,000 calories a day for three days straight. On days four through seven, you can eat 1,500 calories.

Adele has also credited pilates and cutting out tea, alcohol, and cigarettes for her current figure. “I used to cry but now I sweat,” she wrote on Instagram.
“I know I look really, really different since you last saw me, but actually because of all the COVID restrictions and the travel bans, I had to travel light and only bring half of me, and this is the half that I chose,” the 15-time Grammy winner joked.
Adele also addressed the “chatter” about her being a host and not the musical guest. The “Someone Like You” singer revealed it had to do with her upcoming album, which fans have been anticipating for several months now.
“My album’s not finished,” she admitted on SNL, adding that she was “too scared” to be both a host and a musical guest on the show.
Although Adele hasn’t revealed how exactly she’s lost the weight, it’s clear that she has slimmed down this year, and we hope she’s healthy and working with professionals to achieve a diet and fitness routine that makes her feel her best. Here’s what we’ve put together about her diet and fitness habits so far:
She’s intensified her workouts.
Adele exercises around three times a week, according to a source who spoke to Us Weekly in July 2019. “Adele never cared about or liked working out,” the source said. But it has become a part of her normal routine, and she’s been alternating between cross-training and Pilates.
When Adele celebrated her birthday last year, she hinted that she was going through a big period of growth. “I’ve changed drastically in the last couple of years and I’m still changing and that’s okay. Thirty-one is going to be a big ol’ year and I’m going to spend it all on myself,” she wrote in an Instagram post last May.
“For the first time in a decade, I’m ready to feel the world around me and look up for once. Be kind to yourself, people we’re only human, go slow, put your phone down and laugh out loud at every opportunity,” she continued. “Learning to REALLY truly love yourself is it, and I’ve only just realized that that is more than enough.”
