Every body type is beautiful and unique in its own way, irrespective of whether one is big or small, overweight or underweight, boney or flabby. Body shaming someone over how they look is something that has been frowned upon for years and continues to be unacceptable. A trend we have witnessed in today’s times however is that people are becoming more conscious and aware about their eating habits as well as fitness regimens. From low-carb and high-protein diets to the much-hyped Keto options, it seems like everyone around the world is working towards adopting a fitter and healthier way of living. Two shocking weight-loss transformations that the world was treated to this year have to be those of international A-listers, Adele and Rebel Wilson. The two leading ladies have proven that hard work pays off and one can achieve whatever they aspire to, even in a year as grim as 2020. Way to go girls!
Adele
The ace singer announced her divorce from husband Simon Konecki in April 2019. Sources close to the artist revealed she was extremely depressed following the split and was trying to distract herself by working on her new music. Little did we know that the singing sensation was also on her way to becoming a new person, both inside and out.
Late last year, Adele disclosed that she had adopted a brand new and clean eating routine in order to improve her health and make sure her voice stays in its ideal condition. One year on and Adele went from chubby to slim, receiving praises from her colleagues and fans when her transformation images from her birthday took the internet by storm. Adele looked hot to trot in a black mini dress and blonde tresses.
Talking to Vogue in an earlier interview, she confessed that her diet plan got boring at times but she remained determined to accomplish the target she set out for. She acknowledged the Sirtfood Diet (which permits only 1,000 calories a day) and working with her personal trainer, Pete Geracimo, for primarily contributing to her drastic weight loss. The Sirtfood Diet plan helps to reduce one’s appetite while also regulating the way in which our bodies process fat and sugar. She cut out junk and processed food and drinks, after which he slowly and gradually started to see motivating results. She cut down her 10 daily cups of tea as well as caffeine, sugar, cigarettes and liquor. Spicy and citrusy foods were also eliminated from her daily foods. Geracimo advised her to fill herself with superfoods such as kale, buckwheat, cocoa powder and turmeric. She also consumed green tea and green juices on a daily basis. The Sirtfood Diet does allow eating cheese and a glass of red wine every now and then.
According to the Sun, the Hello singer signed up for reformer pilates to strengthen her body, which helped to maintain her weight loss and tone her bod. Her fitness routine also involved using the usual gym equipment, weightlifting and ab exercises among other things. We cannot be more inspired by this beautiful star and her impressive weight loss journey!
Rebel Wilson
Not too long ago, the Australian actor, comedian, writer and producer told the world that 2020 will be her ‘Year of Health’. And boy, did she stick to her word! The starlet recently shocked the world with her massive transformation. Speaking to the Sun about the same, she said, “I turned 40 as well in March and so I thought, this is gonna be it. This is going to be the year for me to just concentrate on the health benefits.”
She also spoke about why she choose to get on the fitness path. “It’s not like I want to lose weight and get to around a certain number. It’s more than that, it’s about dealing mentally with why I was overeating and I had a job where I was paid a lot of money to be bigger, at times which kind of can mess with your head a bit.” Wilson continued, “So now I’m just trying to work on the mental side and the physical job and doing a lot of personal training and, and on the nutrition side like it’s, it’s cool I should probably write a book at some point about it because people seem to be interested.”
While she has lost a ton of weight, she revealed she still has 18 pounds to go to achieve her goal. Wilson has literally shrunk! And what was her secret? The Mayr Method! For the unversed, most people are first introduced to the know-how of this diet when they visit VivaMayr or one of its wellness centres around the world. And that’s exactly what Wilson did! Viva Mayr helps guests through a signature detox that involves certain spa treatments, mental health sessions and directing clients towards a clean gut by eating foods that massage the digestive system, reported Good Housekeeping. The diet programme also entails a prescribed cleanse, taking new or expanded vitamins, and supplements which are a part of the “detoxification process.”
Along with this, Wilson also eliminated sugar from her diet and stopped consuming caffeine. She refrained from snacking throughout the day, reduced dairy and gluten intake and did not eat raw foods at night. Wilson also followed a strict exercise routine which comprised of a cardio schedule as well as weight-lifting. More power to both Adele and Wilson for aiming high and still achieving their goals towards a fit, happy and positive life. They have set an example for others to follow and learn from while also teaching us the importance of hard work and discipline for a healthy and fulfilling life.
