Adele lost over 20 pounds between the birth of her son in 2012 and comeback in 2015. The songstress, her dietician, and her trainer all revealed how she did it.
Adele's Dietary Changes
A key component of Adele's weight loss were the changes in her dietary habits. She told Rolling Stone that she:
- Cut alcohol consumption - Adele dropped down to approximately one alcoholic drink a week.
- Reduced sugar intake - She cut down sugar, but didn't eliminate all carbohydrates. Specifically, Adele told The Sun that she cut out drinking tea with sugar.
- Avoids deprivation - Adele admits to the interviewer that she has a cheat day.
All three of these diet tips can aide weight loss for someone who needs to lose a few pounds.

As a busy singer and mother, Adele has been a client of The Pure Package meal services. Belfast Telegraph reports that owner Jennifer Irvine told Heat magazine about the service she provided to Adele, notably:

- Eating complex carbohydrates
- Eating lean protein
Irvine also mentioned that the famous songstress wanted to remove processed foods from her meals and life.
The Sirtfood Diet
Adele reportedly followed The Sirtfood Diet that was recommended by her trainer Pete Geracimo.

Belfast Telegraph reports that her trainer plans workouts based on weights and circuit training. Geracimo called the program a "Modified Strongman Workout."
