You snooze you lose?
Adele also credits her regular pilates classes and going to the gym with a personal trainer for much of her weight loss.
Despite Adele’s physical transformation, she’s been vocal about focusing on inner happiness first. She credited the book ‘Untamed’ by Glennon Doyle for helping her transform her life and reconnect with herself.
It's good that the diet focuses on what you should be eating more of, as that's a much more effective way to simultaneously cut out processed food and drinks. For Adele, that meant cutting out her alleged 10 daily cups of tea, each with two spoonfuls of sugar.
Adele’s transformation, though talked about a lot this year, has actually been a work in progress for about five years, according to her trainer.
Yes, you can have red wine! But not over the daily recommended amount, of course.
Apples are popular among diets for their filling characteristic, and they make a great substitute for sugar cravings.
A "sirtfood" is a food high in sirtuin activators. Sirtuins are a type of protein that regulate cell functions, protect from inflammation, and can help regulate your metabolism, increase muscle, and burn fat.
The diet was developed by two celebrity nutritionists working for a private gym in the UK. According to Healthline, they advertise the diet as a revolutionary new eating plan that works by turning on your “skinny gene.”
Strawberries are like dirt candy, and they're rich in antioxidants and vitamin C too!
Not exactly the base of a hearty meal, but adding parsley to dishes can be a great boost of antioxidants and important nutrients.
Onions contain antioxidants and compounds that fight inflammation, which make them a fit for this diet.
This alternative protein is a healthier replacement for red meat because it delivers plenty of polyunsaturated fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and it's low in saturated fat.
Among the numerous benefits of this energy-boosting drink is that it is rich in catechins, which is a class of plant compounds that act as natural antioxidants.
Olive oil specifically has anti-inflammatory properties, healthy monounsaturated fats, and has been known to aid with weight loss in various diets.
Buckwheat is a good source of protein and fiber, and it also promotes heart health and can help manage diabetes.
You can have chocolate, but not the sugary stuff! Only the kind rich in antioxidants and with anti-inflammatory effects.
Also known as the Thai chili, it's small but packs a hot punch due to its high levels of capsaicin, which is considered highly anti-inflammatory.
Turmeric has long been the top player in the anti-inflammatory game.
This leafy green with a peppery taste is chock full of antioxidants, which can protect against or reverse damage to your cells, and it can help reduce inflammation.
Though it sounds nice to lose weight while maintaining muscle mass and protecting from chronic disease, there’s no convincing evidence that the Sirtfood Diet has a more beneficial effect on weight loss than any other calorie-restricted diet.
Finally a diet that encourages your caffeine addiction! Coffee is actually a great source of antioxidants and can aid in weight loss.
The diet involves eating sirtfoods, but it also requires a calorie restriction (just 1,000 calories daily in the first week) as well as daily exercise. The truth is that the latter two play a bigger part in weight loss rather than activating any “skinny gene.”
These small, salty buds are an unexpectedly big source of natural antioxidants.
Although many of the foods listed have healthy properties, there has been no long-term study to prove sirtfoods’ benefits, and even the Sirtfood Diet book uses results of a pilot study conducted by the authors and involving 39 participants from their fitness center—results which have not been published anywhere else.
Famous for their antioxidants, blueberries are also high in potassium and vitamin C.
