For those interested in how Adele lost weight, her rules may come in handy.
Biography of singer Adele
Some people say that the world of show business is cruel and difficult. And these words are certainly not without meaning. However, sometimes in this world of deceit and intrigue there are truly fabulous stories. One of these is a creative biography of the British singer Adele.
The success of singer Adele surprised the whole world
Today she is known and loved on all continents, her voice is heard on the radio, and her photographs adorn the covers of authoritative music publications like the Rolling Stones. At the age of 19, she released her first album, which made her a star, and three years later, Adele's next album won several Grammys and went four times platinum in the UK. How a girl from North London reached such heights and changed the established rules of success in show business, read further on uznayvse.ru.
What is sirtfood?
This is what nutritionists call products that stimulate the production of sirtuin. It rejuvenates cells, ensures normal metabolism, and protects the body from the effects of stress. And it helps you lose weight. It was the Sirtfood diet that was recommended to Adele when she suddenly decided to gain model parameters.
Despite the complex mechanism of action, the products that make up the fasting diet are by no means exotic, but the most ordinary. These include green apples, cabbage, some types of lettuce, buckwheat, strawberries, dark chocolate, olives, peanuts, parsley, celery, walnuts, cabbage, and natural coffee. Plant amino acids are considered the most effective for activating such a useful enzyme.
It's no secret that most of the products listed are used in other diets for weight loss. However, sirtfoods are not just grass, vegetables and fruits. Animal food on such a diet is also allowed, although it is less effective. From time to time it is recommended to eat lean varieties of chicken and beef.
To enhance the effect of sirtuin, you should supplement your diet with dates and dark grape juice. Despite their high sugar content, these foods are considered essential for weight loss. They contain resveratrol, which supports metabolic processes.
Childhood and family
The future star of the world music scene Adele Laurie Blue Adkins was born on May 5, 1988 in Tottenham, an area in north London that is notorious for frequent riots and thriving organized crime. At least that's how things were in those years. Only emigrants from Arab countries and the poor lived in this part, and the family of the future singer belonged to the second category.

Adele's parents, Penny Adkins and Mark Evans, met in 1987 in one of the city pubs. She was an 18-year-old art student, and he was an unemployed man in his early 20s. They began living together, and Penny soon became pregnant. Choosing between studying at the university and having a daughter, the woman chose the latter. Adele was born two weeks early. Soon after the birth, Mark asked Penny for her hand in marriage, but she refused, believing that she was still too young for marriage.

The father left the family when the girl was 9 months old. From him, the artist only had a stack of records by jazz legend Ella Fitzgerald, as well as her middle name, Blue, in honor of Mark’s favorite musical genre, the blues. For some time, Adele and her mother visited him, but when the girl was three years old, he disappeared from her daughter’s life for many years. Mark moved to Wales, where he started drinking and took virtually no part in raising his daughter: neither financially nor emotionally. In 1995, he found a new love, and Adele had a half-brother, Cameron. He is very similar to Adele both in appearance and character.

Her father reappeared in Adele’s life when her success was talked about all over Britain. It was at this moment that interviews with the singer’s father appeared in a number of English-language media, to which she reacted very violently and ambiguously, Fr.

We are talking about a 2011 article in the British tabloid Daily Mail. The publication paid Macre Evans for personal details from Adele’s life, and he, experiencing financial need, easily agreed. Adele was outraged: Since childhood, the closest people in Adele’s life were her mother and paternal grandfather. It was they who nurtured the girl’s desire to sing. To pay for her baby's singing lessons, Penny worked in three places: she was a massage therapist, a furniture assembler, and organized training courses for adults. Adele loved to sing and studied with her teacher almost every evening.

The grandfather replaced the girl's father, but in 1999 he died of intestinal cancer. After this, Adele and her mother moved to South London and rented a flat above a discount store with another neighbor.

Global weight loss
2019 was a turning point. Adele decided to divorce her husband and completely change her life. Changes in appearance also became an important point. The singer took weight loss seriously, taking the fashionable Sirtfood diet as a basis and completely excluding her favorite snacks, sweets, fast food and soda from the menu.
The essence of the diet is a complete change in diet with the inclusion of sirtuins. These proteins, found primarily in plant foods, activate metabolism and stimulate genes responsible for processing fats. The list of products containing sirtuins includes:
- blueberry;
- peanut;
- dates;
- kale salad;
- arugula;
- lemon juice;
- parsley;
- celery;
- green apples;
- soy;
- turmeric;
- olive oil;
- dark berries (strawberries, raspberries, cherries).
Among animal products, lean beef and chicken breast are allowed. The diet can be supplemented with freshly brewed coffee, a small amount of dry red wine and dark chocolate. It is necessary to monitor the amount of calories and create a menu only from permitted foods. A mandatory item in the diet is daily green smoothies made from kale, celery, parsley, turmeric, lemon juice and green tea.
Following a diet, Adele lost more than 40 kg: fans have never seen her so slim. The artist replaced the barbell with Pilates and active cardio exercises.
Today, the singer continues her health program, but experts warn that she should be careful and stop in time. Long-term dieting can cause loss of subcutaneous fat and sagging skin: Adele’s breasts are already not in the best shape.
First steps to success
Adele became interested in singing at the age of 4, imitating the voices of the Spice Girls. “In many ways they shaped me as an artist,” says the singer. The first public performance of the future British pop star was the performance of the song “Rise” from the repertoire of the singer Gabrielle as part of a school production. A little later she became interested in r'n'b and pop rock like the singer Pink

As a teenager, Adele began to admire jazz singer Etta James. Possessing a strong chest voice and a wide vocal range, the girl amazed everyone with her ability to sing beautifully, pulling out literally transcendental notes. She was admired by friends and acquaintances, but she herself did not believe at all in the possibility of success - her figure was far from ideal (until 2008, the artist’s weight was 134 kg), and she never had wealthy sponsors. How Adele changed (2007 - 2017) And yet, after listening to the opinions of her loved ones, Adele went to audition at the famous London School of Performing Arts and Technology, where Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis and many other English stars had previously studied. The audition turned out to be successful, and Adele began to study music with the best teachers in Britain.
In 2006, the singer recorded several “demos”. The compositions turned out to be so successful that, without consulting her herself, Adele’s friends decided to post them on the MySpace social service page. The songs were noticed by prominent British producers from the record company XL Recordings. As the singer herself later admitted more than once, the call from the record label office was a pleasant surprise for her. “When I picked up the phone, I initially thought it was a joke,” she recalled.
In 2007, Adele signed a contract with XL Recording.
However, suddenly the dream come true turned out to be quite real. And after that, Adele’s long ascent to the heights of the European musical Olympus began. The singer's first single, “Hometown Glory,” was released in October 2007 and was released in a very limited edition. But a year later it was re-released, and the composition itself received a Grammy nomination.
Pros and cons of the diet
The creators of the diet believe that their method not only helps you lose weight, but also improves your health. If you are not going to lose weight, but just want to enrich your diet with proteins, add as many sirtfoods to your menu as possible.
Diet really helps to get in shape in the shortest possible time; an example of this is Adele’s striking changes. But before any change in diet, it is important to consult with a nutritionist, especially since the sirtfood diet is at the research stage and is not yet included in the EatWell Guide - recommendations from specialists in the UK National Health Service.

Personal life of Adele
As we mentioned above, the album “21” is inspired by experiences after breaking up with a man.
But Adele, a rather private person, does not advertise the name of the “culprit”. Fans could only guess - who is this person who broke the heart of the people's favorite? At first, the handsome Slinky Sunbeam, the singer with whom Adele was credited with having an affair in 2008, came under suspicion. But the singer herself put an end to these rumors: “Those who say that don’t know anything about us and Slinky. He's not even my type."

The candidates also included producer Mark Ronson, who worked on Adele's first album; comedian James Corden, a good friend of the singer; Klaxons frontman Jamie Reynolds. But all the guesses were in vain. Neither the powerful fan club, nor journalists, nor the paparazzi lifted the veil of secrecy over the name of the anonymous boyfriend. Fans of the singer dubbed him “Mr. 21.”
In 2011, Adele met true love. The artist’s chosen one was Simon Konecki, the owner of a large investment holding. Simon is 14 years older than Adele, but this fact did not interfere with the lovers. By the way, the song “Someone Like You” from the same album “21” is dedicated to him.

On October 19, 2012, the couple had a son, who was named Angelo James. After the birth of the child, news about the supposedly impending wedding of the happy parents began to appear in the American and British press with enviable consistency. Finally, during a concert in 2021, Adele made an announcement about her marriage, after which the audience erupted in applause. In March, she and Simon secretly got married in Los Angeles, holding a ceremony in their own home.

Adele does not hide the fact that after the birth of her child she suffered from postpartum depression and was tormented by the thought that she had made the worst decision in her life when deciding to become a mother. But she managed to overcome this feeling, and for the sake of her son, Adele gave up bad habits - cigarettes and alcohol, which used to often keep her company.
In the spring of 2021, the couple purchased a mansion in the British town of East Grinstead, in addition to the singer's mansion in West Sussex, a house on Brighton beach, an apartment in London, a penthouse in New York, a beach bungalow in Malibu and two houses in Beverly Hills.

In September 2021, Adele announced that she was filing for divorce. Usually the singer does not comment on events in her personal life, but this time she made an exception. A source close to the family claimed that the crisis in the family began back in April. The reason for this is Adele’s popularity, which is not slowing down, as Simon had hoped, but vice versa. “It was hard for him to feel like he was in second place, and lately he hasn’t seen Adele at all,” the insider claimed. The former spouses remained friends and share custody of the child.

The singer's fans were upset by the news, but at the same time, the changes in Adele's life gave hope for new creativity. After breaking up with Simon, Adele was caught having an affair with a black rapper from Tottenham nicknamed Skepta (real name Joseph Adenuga).

She and Adele are old friends, they were born in the same city and have kept in touch all these years. In early October 2021, the couple was spotted at the game show “Crystal Maze” in London. Skepta also broke up with his girlfriend shortly before. “Adele and Skepta have a close connection and they will definitely make a great couple,” the singer’s friends assure.
Adele supports the LGBT community. In June 2021, she gave a benefit concert in support of the victims of the gay club shooting in Orlando, Florida. In 2021, Adele was the MC at the wedding of her friend, TV presenter and gay man Alan Carr. The ceremony took place in the backyard of the singer's house.

About the diet
British nutritionists Aidan Goggins and Glen Matten, in their book The SirtFood Diet, spoke in detail about a new diet, with which they promised to lose three and a half kilograms in a week. The point is to consume only those foods that can activate the so-called sirtuins in the body. “Sirtuins are a type of protein that protects cells from death or inflammation. They can also stimulate your metabolism, regulate your appetite, increase muscle tone, and burn fat,” explains Goggins.
Adele now
Listeners have not heard new material from Adele since 2021, but on May 5, 2021, the artist hinted that the release of a new album is just around the corner. “30 will be a drum and bass record to piss you off. Keep your nose up,” she wrote on Instagram on her 31st birthday. Considering Adele’s tradition of naming albums with numbers corresponding to her age at the time of working on new material, the music market regarded her words as such. According to forecasts, Adele's new album "30" will go on sale in December 2021, closer to Christmas (but this is not certain). She previously claimed that 25 would be the last album to be named after age. “I will simply call the next album “Adele,” the girl said in 2021 in the YouTube project “Carpool Karaoke.” Adele Live Full Concert 2021 While fans are waiting for the British woman’s new album, Lady Gaga surprised the audience by calling her new album “Adele” (2019), although the singers had never collaborated and were not closely acquainted.
Main stages
The diet itself includes two stages. For the first three days, it is recommended to reduce the daily caloric intake to 1000 calories, which we should get from three green juices a day. For the next four days, experts advise drinking two glasses of juice and eating solid foods twice from the foods recommended above - all for 1,500 calories. This phase is considered fast: in just a week you will lose about three kilograms of body fat, and the authors assure that muscle mass will not be affected due to the abundance of protein.

The second phase of the diet is a little more enjoyable. Now you can drink just one serving of green juice and eat an approved list of sirtfoods three times a day. You can drink tea and coffee, eat whole grain bread and even drink wine, but, of course, in moderation. But it is better to exclude red meat from the diet. This stage can last as long as you like, it only consolidates the result obtained in the first week.

Health status
From the very beginning of her creative career, the singer experienced health problems. Her main instrument, her voice, came under attack. Adele developed a complication after suffering from the flu, which was fraught with complete loss of speech. Thanks to the efforts of doctors, the artist returned to the stage. The performer had to stick to a diet, do frequent inhalations and special exercises.
On the advice of knowledgeable people, Adele turned to a doctor who lives in Boston and is well aware of the load that artists’ vocal apparatus endures. At Massachusetts General Hospital, the British woman underwent laser surgery on the ligaments affected by inflammation, after which her voice became higher and the previously noticeable hoarseness went away.
Later, in a conversation with a journalist, the singer told how the media fanned rumors about what happened. It was rumored that Adele had throat cancer and would not be able to sing at all. For Adkins herself, the forced silence gave her the opportunity to reflect on life and fame, which the artist perceived very painfully.

The British woman had to take another break in 2011. She developed lung disease associated with the infection. Due to Adele's illness, she had to cancel a number of concerts, a performance at the Mercury Awards and tours, causing promoters to lose about $1 million.
After the birth of her first child, Adele, who had previously been distinguished by her curvaceous figure (height 175 cm, weight 80 kg), gained weight, but the changes in appearance did not upset her. The singer claimed that plumpness was natural, and never tired of explaining to fans that she was not working as a top model, and therefore was not obliged to meet the imposed beauty standards.
In interviews, she more than once voiced the idea of accepting herself and loving her body and figure, spoke categorically about diets, calling them pointless, and condemned a society that forces girls to sacrifice their comfort for the sake of fashion.

The greater the surprise of fans when the celebrity radically changed her appearance in 2015. The singer lost a lot of weight, before and after the diet she looked like two different people. Adele admitted that she still hates sports, but she started training and especially fell in love with barbell exercises.
She went on a strict vegetarian diet and stopped eating fatty, spicy and carbohydrate foods. The artist’s daily diet at that time included a portion of fruit salad, a cup of berries, a bowl of vegetable soup, and nuts. Now Adele continues to adhere to a healthy diet.
Adele is a passionate fan of tea, and after starting to eat healthy, she fell in love with smoothies. These drinks are present in every meal of the singer and also have a beneficial effect on metabolism. Fans saw the star's new appearance in the video for the song Hello, but they never received photos in a swimsuit illustrating the results of her hard work.
One can only envy Adele’s persistence in achieving beauty ideals: at the beginning of 2021, it became known that she had reduced her weight by another 45 kg.
