Why Adele’s Successful Weight Loss Transformation Can Be Credited to Lady Gaga and Cameron Diaz

November 14, 2021

Grammy winner Adele turned 32 recently and while fans should have mostly sent well-wishes, the majority of them pointed out that something was different about her. Anyone with eyes can see that the hitmaker lost a drastic amount of weight, sending the internet on fire.

This comes months after she chose to hide from the public eye and years of not releasing new music, which is why more fans went wild after seeing a photo of her. With such an amazing result and successful weight loss journey, many people wondered about the secret to a slimmer body.

According to a source, the singer got help from Harley Pasternak, a famous trainer to celebrities, including Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, and Megan Fox. Apparently, the Born This Way hitmaker referred the Los Angeles-based expert to Adele.

Fans may also recognize Harley from the E! show Revenge Body with Khloe Kardashian. The Canadian trainer advises five times a week of training with 35 minutes of strength training per day.

Adele reportedly adhered to the sirtfood diet, wherein she would eat only one meal and consume three green juices per day for three times a week. She would subject herself to a 1,200-diet for the remaining four days.

In terms of the diet part, the Oscar winner was said to tap Jason Harley, a chef in Los Angeles, as per the recommendation of Charlie’s Angels actress Cameron Diaz.

While the transformation was truly amazing and inspiring, many fans were quite cautious in praising the singer, saying those who did commend her new figure were fat-phobic. Her former trainer, Pete Geracimo, defended Adele over comments that questioned the genuineness of her journey.

From when they worked together, the trainer learned that his client is brave enough to do things her own way without conforming to what other people want. Pete narrated that when they started her fitness journey, it was never about being slim rather it is about being healthy.

Reasons for the Journey

While most of us don’t know what triggered Adele to lose weight, Pete said that tough personal changes in Adele’s life last year were what inspired her to lose weight. It is worth noting that she and husband Simon Konecki decided to go separate ways in 2019.

The London-based expert further said that it was just natural for her to find a new sense of self after all she had gone through, so Adele adopted healthier eating habits and became committed to her fitness routine.

What’s Up with Fake Meat? Here’s Why You Should Give It a Try Earlier this year, power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z challenged their fans to join them in becoming vegan, even saying that it is of global importance. Plant-based diet champions are also encouraging the public to not eat meat, citing tons of supposed benefits. Because of the growing number of people switching their lifestyles, there is no doubt that the trend is booming more than ever. However, not all people are convinced of the practice, while others are afraid of a drastic change. But for some, the reason can be as simple as they’re unwilling to or couldn’t give up meat. Reasons to Give Up Meat Vegans have been laying out studies after studies detailing the benefits of eating plant-based food in order to urge people to switch to the other side. The number of those convinced is sharply soaring – a comparemarket.com survey saw 3.5 million Brits who admit they are vegan. The increase, according to University of Oxford’s Environmental Sustainability Knowledge Transfer Network former director Carolyn Roberts, may be due to the change of attitude toward environmental issues.

It makes up for 37 percent for methane induced by humans and accounts for 64 percent of ammonia. According to a study, we need to consume 90 percent less pork and 75 percent less beef all over the world just to keep the global temperature less than 2 degrees Celsius within the century. Don’t forget about the harm it does to the animals. The Rise of Fake Meat While the aforementioned facts are not enough to convince people to change their eating habits, the food industry came up with fake meats, which impressively taste like the real thing. You are forgiven if you think that meat substitutes were only made a couple of years ago, but according to Chinese food expert Fuchsia Dunlop, it originated in China. In fact, it deeply roots in the colorful and history-rich culinary culture of the Asian country.

An example of which was during the Tang dynasty when imitation pork and mutton dishes were served at a banquet hosted by an official. What Makes Fake Meat Taste Like the Real Deal? Fake meat manufacturers have a competition that’s pretty hard to beat, the real thing. That’s why they must make it a point that their products copy real meat exactly, especially the taste. How do they do this? Impossible Foods, famous for their Impossible Burger that has gotten rave reviews for tasting nothing like vegetables, credits heme, a result of a bioengineering process and is a molecule that gives the patty the “slightly metallic bloody flavor,” chief science officer David Lipman explained.

Impossible Foods’ goal is to compete with the price tag of Safeway’s 80/20 hamburger so that consumers’ decision-making may depend on their money.
