He talks Adele and weight loss.
The Sirtfood Diet focuses on eating specific “sirtfoods” that are supposed to help your body burn fat and boost metabolism.
It includes foods like dark chocolate, citrus fruits and wine.
For the first three days, you’re meant to eat 1000kcal and then increase to 1500 from days four to seven.
The diet is extremely restrictive and just a quick fix. Limiting yourself to 1000kcal a day can be damaging to your body even if it’s for three days, it isn’t healthy or good for you.

People really need to focus on long term sustainable changes which are slow and steady rather than trendy diets that are restrictive.

Remember – slow and steady wins the race and it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Those memes you see bandied around “summer bodies are made in the winter” etc are true.
The Sirtfood Diet is not a diet I’d recommend to my clients, and it is not confirmed that Adele followed this diet, however, that being said Adele’s weight loss is incredible.
She’s a huge global star and the impressive changes she’s achieved will inspire and motivate other women who were previously her size that significant weight loss can be done.
But when you add the word diet to anyone in the public eye, some might think they have to follow it and that it’s the only way it can be done.
We don’t know if Adele has followed this diet or borrowed from it, so we can’t know that this is how she lost the weight.
It’s important to not get caught up in the fads and remember that weight loss can also be achieved with a balanced diet that includes all food groups and no need to be so restrictive.
We also shouldn’t underestimate the importance of exercise too – Adele works out and we know that she loves resistance based training which is one of the most effective ways to change your body.
