Does Adele’s rumoured ‘sirtfood diet’ really work? The Easy On Me singer denied her weight loss was due to any specific regime, but it hasn’t stopped the diet trending online
- Adele said in a recent Vogue interview that she hadn’t followed a diet and that people claiming to have trained her to get in shape were ‘weirdos’ she’d never met
- Nevertheless, unreliable ‘inside sources’ suggested her incredible transformation was due to the sirtfood diet, heavy on eating dark chocolate and leafy greens
But recently Adele said in a Vogue interview that she hasn’t followed any particular diet, and “inside sources” claiming to have spoken to her were unreliable.
“All these other people have come out saying that they trained me,” she told Vogue. She called them “weirdos”, adding, “I’ve never met them in my life!”
But her rumoured attachment to the diet still prompted immense interest, spiking sirtfoods to trend online each time Adele made waves on social media.
The concept was popularised in 2016 in a book titled The Sirtfood Diet by the pharmacist Aidan Goggins and the nutritionist Glen Matten.
It involves eating foods that activate a protein called sirtuin, hence the name, and cutting calories for weight loss.
But, while the foods included in the diet are healthy, it could have some drawbacks by restricting what and how much you can eat, potentially making it tricky to follow in the long term.
