That is what we are going to look at in this article so read on. If you don't know your BMI (Body Mass Index), this free calculator helps you and also interprets the results for you! Now back to the story...

According to an interview of Adele's trainer, Pete Geracimo, 3 factors played a part in helping the celebrity lose weight fast. Let's dive straight to them:

1. Strict sirtfood diet

If you don't know what it is, sirtfood is food rich in sirtuins. Situins are proteins which regulate cellular heath, and have beneficial effects. They have the following overal effects to metabolism:

• Anti-inflammatory
• Anti-oxidants
• Slow down aging
• Boost metabolism
• Increase fat breakdown
• Sugar regulation

This diet was launched by two UK nutritionists, Aidan Goggins and Glen Matten, in 2016. It also involves removing processed food and drinks. Adele cut these from her diet including alcohol, cigarrettes and spicy foods.

I know you are itching to know which foods are high in sirtuins. According to her trainer, she consumed these foods and in total adhered to an calorie intake of 1000 calories per day! Sirtuin-rich foods are:

• Kale
• Buckwheat
• Cocoa powder
• Tumeric
• Green tea
• Dark chocolate
• Oranges
• Parsley

Although experts are divided on the efficacy of the regimen, we are happy it yielded results for the songstress.

2. Regular exercises

Her fitness trainer made sure she trained 2-3 times per week, although she wasn't enthusiastic about the strict workout routine. These exercises involved:

• Weight training
• Boxing
• Cardio
• Bodyweight
• Resistant band exercises

She also did pilates exercise, which is relatively new. This type of exercise strengthens posture and balance. It also targets mainly core muscles, although other body regions can be strengthened. Regular exercises promote weight loss and Meghan Markle also uses this type of exercise. 

3. Good sleep routine

Yes, this is actually another strategy which still works. As you know, the body need to rest and adequate sleep is something you have to incorporate in your schedule to achieve good health. Adele made sure she slept the recommended 7 to 8 hours per day. For this strategy to be effective the sleep should be uninterrupted for maximum benefits, which are:

• Muscle relaxation
• Tissue repair
• Fat breakdown

In conclusion, Adele managed to achieve her goal. You can take some, if not all of the tactics above and incorporate them in your weight loss strategy. What is important is to be consistent and to set a goal. You can start that right now by finding out where your BMI stands. Are you obese or overweight? What should be your normal weight?
