I Tried Adele's 40lb Weight Loss Program SIRTFOOD DIET 

It has been brought to my attention that Adele has a son not a daughter. This is Research-Keltie’s fault not mine. She clearly abused her use of google and didn’t fact check. Me and my team (aka stuff-direwolf) are currently discussing a proper penalty for this misconduct. We’ve decided between either 50 burpees or burning at the stake, there seemed like no other option.

Adele put years of effort into her body. Not only in losing weight she quit smoking and drinking too. As her personal trainer said, “she didn’t lose weight for YOU, she did it for her son and for herself.” I’ll applaud Adele on breaking her previous habits that took years. It’s so much effort she had to be giving everyday.

I saw quite a bit of comments on her post saying: “she isn’t relatable anymore.” She shouldn’t have to be bigger to be relatable! Her music should be ENOUGH! She looks fantastic and really did a whole 180°.

When I recently lost weight and saw a friend, who is a nurse, for the first time in months - she said, “you look great, but this weight loss was intentional?... you’re not sick or unhealthy, right?” And that comment resonated with me because you never know what someone else is going through. When I explained I just started learning more about nutrition and working out more, she was my biggest cheerleader.

Hey Keltie! I’m 18, and have been overweight my whole life. My mom was a serial yo-yo dieter when I was growing up; as my sole parent, I followed her example. Your channel is possibly the most positive place on the internet. You have inspired me to not just do what anyone else in my household is doing, and encouraged me to make healthier, sustainable habits for myself. I have lost 35 pounds so far with intuitive eating, and begun helping my mother to re-build her relationship with food as well. As someone who has been on multiple diets like the Sirtfood diet, I really appreciate your emphasis on sustainable lifestyle habits rather than harsh diets. Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s changing lives.

I hope people take the time to understand that this is a “glow up” because she met a goal she was working towards, not that it’s a “glow up” because of the idea that thinner is better.

“I’ll eat eight bars of 85% chocolate, watch me.” Love a good Keltie O’connor quote.😂

I don't know why Adele is getting so *much hate over her weight loss. It's her life, her body, there for her business. If she's happy doing what she's doing, then we don't have a say in it.* 🥰🥰

Keltie’s energy just makes me so happy and just puts me in a good mood everyday!

As someone who has lost 125 pounds, after being overweight and unhealthy for a long long time, I can tell you that lifestyle changes work. Extremely restrictive, quick fix diets do not work. It is better to take longer to lose weight and keep it off, learning how to live in a healthy way.

I lost 40 pounds this year with exercise consistency and diet change! Your channel is definitely an inspiration- now I’m just trying to cut and shape 💪🏻 Thanks for always promoting a healthy lifestyle that is sustainable 🙌🏻

disclaimer: keltie is NOT ratchet. she’s just creative with what she has🥰🥰🥰

I think a brief window of accelerated weight loss at the start is super motivating. I lost ~5kg in about 3 weeks and have then taken nearly a year to lose the next 18kg but have embedded much better lifestyle habits including a good exercise and nutrition regime. Without some quick wins, I don’t think I would have stuck with it as long as I have and now it’s all habit and part of my life. Only 15kg to go... maybe another 18 months!

clicked so fast! Your perspective on health, fitness, and true "wellness" is so refreshing! much love from a fellow Canadian :)

I love that you would not do the 1000 cal/week restriction. Like nope, not healthy, not doing it. You are one of the most balaced voices on RU-vid for health and fitness.

Her diet allows red wine, coffee, and dark chocolate? I'm in!

Yea. I’ve lost 90 lbs by adopting healthy eating habits over the last 2 years. I’m at a healthy BMI but constantly was shamed for losing weight and being focused on it. Kinda sucks that weight loss gets shamed when it’s healthy and someone’s doing it for the right reasons. Thanks for touching on this

Keltie’s high energy and positive vibes have been getting me through quarantine 😄

12 years ago I was my heaviest weight ever, I had been married for 4 years and was in love and happy...until I noticed my weight affecting my mood and my lifestyle...I started with a group "dance aerobic" class and fell in love with it. I did 3 days a week then 4 and then 5. Over the course of 3 years I lost 27 pounds and started to feel so much better. THEN I changed my diet, it was slow and gradual, and now I love working out and I love eating healthy, but still eat what I want when I want it, just small amounts and I workout regularly 5 days a week, now since quarantine usually 6 days....I just think you have to take all of this change in small bits....and slowly. Patience is key as well as consistency...do what you know you can commit to. xoxox

Ive honestly really struggled to define what I think body positivity is, and keltie, ur definition was so great. I love you, and thank u for starting the convo.

The problem is commenting about her weight, period. As far as I know, she didn't ask for people's opinion on her body. We don't know what's in her head, we don't know how or why she lost the weight. And it's none of our business, unless she explicitly wants our opinion. We should NEVER assume that weight loss always means more health and weight gain means less health. You just can't tell just by looking at someone's weight. You just can't. So let's all stop commenting on people's body, let's stop assuming things about people and instead focus on actions, talents and skills.

You making the green smoothie, angrily throwing the ingredients in is definitely the best part of the video.

I’ve lost 70 pounds so far with 40 more to go. Maybe I should try this too

Yes!! Especially loved your perspective on weight at the end! Coming from experience I lost about 20 lbs after going through a big breakup. I wasn’t overweight I was just average to begin with but got too skinny in the process. I got a lot of praise for that when in reality I was so anxious and depressed that I didn’t have an appetite...I mean can’t say I didn’t appreciate the kind words but I was NOTTTTTT healthy and while friends and family had good intentions in praising the weight loss it wasn’t good for me. Then when I started feeling better and getting back to myself and gaining some of the weight back obviously I didn’t get any praise for that...when in reality when I gained some weight back it was because I was happy and my appetite came back. Definitely agree with what you’re saying about weight not necessarily being an indication of health!

Thank you so much for the conversation at the end, Keltie. I think so many people don’t think about what’s best for THEM and instead are just looking at what everyone else is telling them what to do. I think it’s so important that you’re opening this up to conversation and speaking about it to begin with! You are such a positive inspiration and an amazing person. Thank you and I will definitely go pet a dog 💕

“I’m gonna eat 8 bars of 80% chocolate. WATCH ME” literally me

I think she lost more like 100 lbs, probably even more from her highest weight from several years ago.

I thinks it’s wonderful that you so beautifully brought awareness to real issues and not focus on just losing weight!! Honestly kudos to you

Hahaha squats with a case of diet coke made my day

love the coca cola weights hahah i have defs used very strange items to workout while traveling

Keltie, I so appreciate you posting on this topic. I gained weight very rapidly because of a medical problem that doctors can't help me with.... I believe it to be a blocked bile duct. This has severely affected my digestion and my body can't process food normally. Friends and family saw rapid weight gain and made lots of assumptions without even considering that a real medical problem caused weight gain. People judge me for being fat because it's easy to see. They say, "it's simply calories in, calories out." So frustrating, and NOT ALWAYS TRUE. Anyway, thank you for bringing to light that there are many reasons people can be over or under weight.

Adele doesn't have a daughter, she has a son.

Nice!!! Using body weight as resistance helped me drop 83 lbs! Yaaasss... But more importantly, I feel amazeballz about everything!!

Keltie is literally my favourite youtuber she has so much energy and inspires me to be a better person and actually work out and eat healthy😂

I'm 5'4/5'5 and used to be 185 to 190 lbs. I lost 50 lbs over three years or so, but not intentionally. I would eat lots of food, but the main change was eating low GI foods instead of high GI, in addition to reducing my meat consumption. I was probably too skinny at that point but realized that was due to lack of muscle so I've been more lenient with my diet now and lifting weights and am at a healthy 150 now. Personally, I think being healthy is important but how you feel is more important than how you look.

Adele has inspired us all ❤️

A new favorite video for me! Love this! I love how you celebrate health in all it's forms. Some days we need to celebrate that we ate our veggies like big kids, other days we meditated, or there are even those days we do everything we can to be healthy. Those are the achievements to celebrate and I think you highlighted that wonderfully. Thanks and love ya girl!

I’ve lost around 70 pounds so far since last year with 10 more to go. The first 30 pounds I lost very miserably at a dietician where I wasn’t allowed to eat carbs basically at all. You’re videos helped me see that there’s literally nothing wrong with carbs and food is not something to be afraid of, and I’m now losing weight in a healthier way, developed a love of exercise and eating enough to fuel my body while still being in a deficit and eating ALL the carbs 🤤. Anyway I’m rambling, but I just wanted to say you’re amazing ❤️

Can we just appreciate for a sec how kind and beautiful this woman is 😍

I adore your view on weight loss and food and just Everything! You really helped me over come a binge eating disorder. You are such a blessing to all those girls who follow "diet culture" and don't eat enough. Your relationship with food is beautiful and thank you for sharing that with us ❤️

Don’t do 1000 calories diets!! I unfortunately did this because I thought it was the best way to lose all my fat but the opposite happened. After a while of doing this serve calorie deficit I started to gain weight, my body was in starvation mood, very unhealthy. I felt sleepy all the time, my hair started to thin and fall out, my nails were not growing, and my once healthy skin started to break out in dry rashes, I am still trying to heal my skin form this experience. I am with Keltie on this, there are so many other and better ways to keep yourself healthy and doing a serve caloric deficit is not really one of them. Please be careful if you do anything like this!

I love how well you addressed this and different sides/effects of weight loss! I admire you so much💞

My issue with the convo around Adele's (or anyone else's) body is because it quickly turned into a convo about "glowing up" which has the connotation that she is BETTER now because she weighs less. I think it's disheartening to fat people that no matter how talented they are, the world sees them as failed skinny people. I'm sure that's not most people's intentions when they make these comments. I think it's just celebrating a thing about someone that isn't a talent or personality trait. It's just a THING. I agree that we should celebrate health, but there are a number of ways someone can be healthy and in every case weight loss =/= health. I'm going to expose myself here and just say... I am overweight and I have been since puberty. I have PCOS. I eat really well and take medications to help with my insulin resistance. I will probably never be what the mainstream would call "healthy-looking", but I am NOT unhealthy, and my team of doctors would agree. This is why I think conflating health and thinness isn't useful. Anyway, this was a rather long comment just to explain how I've been feeling about some of the commentary around this topic. I feel really weird that I'm even participating in it because Adele hasn't actually come out and discussed it publicly and it does feel really... wrong in a way? to be talking about someone's body when they themselves haven't started a convo on it.

keltoe I’m so proud of you! i watched you a bunch when you had around 20k followers, now you have THAT TIMES TEN DAMN GIRL! you seem much more natural and happier in the camera :) dang ily keep making videos!

Keltie: **Chuckles** “That’s green!!” as she pours the green smoothie in the glass....🤣 Me: “I like green smoothies, I am vegan after all BUT SHIT!!! NOT THAT DAMN GREEN!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣#hardpass

I want to thank you for talking about all of this. I’ve always been overweight and it’s been a constant struggle. But I’m still working hard at it. However, I’ve been in a mental low point and I haven’t been eating anything at all most days. Some days I’ll eat part of meal. I’ve been on a low so long now that I’ve lost quite a lot of weight. People keep congratulating me. Saying how great I look. If they only knew. But it does create an unhealthy relationship with eating. I know the second I start feeling better and start eating, I’ll gain it all back. But you’re right. Weight is the only indicator others can see. Idk why I posted this really. Just thank you.

8:41 - I was laughing soooo hard the way you made that smoothie lmao

Such a great perspective on weight loss because it’s not always healthy to be “skinny” in a sense because of it’s not the only thing that makes a person healthy. Love this because I eat healthier than I had been but I’m still “overweight” and still having issues losing weight but I would be upset someone saying I looked better before but I’m so glad that mentally I would okay afterwards. I feel like that makes it more bearable to hear things that people really shouldn’t say to another. Especially growing up everyone has had different environments and react different to everything.

Key words: “you should celebrate health”. That means in any shape or form. Like I’m over 200lbs and I feel the most healthy. I’m working out eating right and I started running to get my endurance up. Hell im even learning how to do push-ups and when I get there I’m gonna celebrate... people need to understand that health can be shown is so many different ways. Adele has just shown her health with weight loss. Get off her damn back.

Love watching all videos whenever I'm feel down about my dieting or need a mini reset to get into the correct mindset! Your positive vibes ACTUALLY mean so much to me!!! Thanks for helping me on my fit life journey :)

thanks for the vid Keltie, wonderful as always. i think it’s hard because people are associating “glow ups” with weight loss, perpetuating the idea that you have to be thinner to be accepted. whether we mean to or not, by commenting these things they can actually end up being more harmful than good. i know adele went through a long process to get to where she is & she definitely put in the work- she looks amazing. but looks should not & do not define our value. she’s always been an amazing singer, & person for that matter. it’s getting tiresome to constantly be commenting as a society on someone’s body.

I love how you are productive during this tragic time! Stay Safe!❤️

I can only say what I know from my own experience. I have been obese since early childhood. From my starting weight to my goal weight is roughly 120lbs. I have only tried to loose weight once, and it's happening, I'm already 68lbs down and am planning on reaching my goal somewhere early next year. But here's the thing. I'm doing it by counting calories. Intuitive eating has gotten me to the point of obesity. I never felt guilty for the foods I ate (and I still dont), I never considered that feeding my hunger addiction with the things it wanted was only making it worse for me. Foods these days are designed in laboratories to taste as good as possible, to trick your brain into wanting more and more, and as a consequence, the foods I intuitively want, are very calorie dense and unhealthy, this is not a world where for the past obese me, intuitive eating was any kind of a solution. I am hopeful to develop intuitive eating skills as I learn more about nutrition and what my body need as opposed to wants, but this would not have been the right path for me at the beginning of my weight loss journey. I know that my path is not the right path for everyone, but I would like it to be acknowledged by proponents of intuitive eating, that that path is not the right one for everyone either. P.s. I am not a fan of crazy restrictive dieting either as I do believe sustainability is key. This for me means that I stay to a calorie limit that allows me to loose weight, but doesnt leave me starving either (but I still definitely have to track that)

On fast vs. slow weight loss: I’m so glad you brought this up! Obesity and excess body weight are undoubtedly linked to higher rates of certain diseases and illnesses. However reversing obesity is complicated and difficult. People who need to lose weight face mental, hormonal and metabolic challenges that often go unaddressed. When people believe that the weight and fat is the biggest problem then they are more likely to believe that its okay to do whatever it takes to reach their goal weight. Severe calorie restriction, labeling foods as good and bad, doing “cleanses” and “detoxes” are common practice among people who want to lose weight, but can be physically and mentally harmful. Unfortunately, we praise the result more than the process. Generally, those who are overweight or obese have an unhealthy relationship with food on some level, but instead of learning how to eat a balanced diet and understand our body’s needs we introduce strict rules and restrictions only to feel guilt and shame when we can’t stick with them. Small and sustainable changes are far more beneficial in the long run than dropping some pounds quickly (usually when it’s done this way they don’t stay dropped anyway). I’ve lost about 40lbs in the past 3 years, but I am by far most proud of the lifestyle changes I’ve been able to make. I cook at home more, eat more veggies, drink more water. I’m still about 20lbs overweight but that’s okay because I know that number on the scale is not the most important indicator of health and that if I pretend like it is then I’m going to suffer mentally. Losing weight is absolutely an accomplishment but let’s not forget to encourage being healthy too.

Big dilemma, am I gonna watch it now and stop my chores or wait to watch this as a guilty pleasure with some snacks 🤤

I so appreciate that you want to have a conversation about health rather than looks. I lost 50 pounds, and yes I do look "better" and I feel happier and more confident in my body, but I did it so I could be healthier. I think the most positive part of trying to be healthier for yourself is that you learn so much about your body and your mind.

WHO ELSE LOVES KELTIE??🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ small youtuber here

I love this! I was 30 lbs lighter 3 years ago. I was severely anemic, so my resting hr was 110. I had just lost the foster son I raised since birth. I was miserable. Couldn’t eat. Most of my calories were alcohol. Now I’m healthy and at my set weight, muscular, and mentally amazing. Weight means nothing

Adele did what she felt was right. She was beautiful before and she is beautiful now. As long as a person is healthy we have no right to 'advice' them on what's best.

This video is probably my favorite diet video you have done. You are so real about the importance of health and sustainability, and talking about what ACTUALLY matters!!!! You phrased it so well in the video & I applaud you for making this!

Adele has always been gorgeous, now she’s just skinny. 😔🙁 I’m tired of people freaking out about her weight.

I appreciate that in doing this you acknowledged that you didn’t need to lose weight and adjusted it because you didn’t want to promote something so extreme. I’ve been seeing a lot of exclusively diet channels cropping up lately and its concerning to see these people who let you know they’re within in normal weight range go from diet to diet just for the sake of showing how many kgs they were able to lose without acknowledging any of the drawbacks

Just to say I love adele and my hubby knows who she is too but I literally had my jaw drop at that pic of her weightloss then I shows my hubby and he was looking like "who's that" I said that's adele and he was lik whoa! That just shows u how amazing it is lol

Lifestyle change >>> quick fix all the way. There’s so much more that comes from changing your habits and picking up healthier ones than just looking for the fastest way to get something done. A lifestyle change takes time, teaches patience, discipline, resilience, and celebration over the small goals that are conquered. I love you Keltie, best health and fitness messages that come from you and I’m so glad your channel exists in comparison to where others trying the low cal quick fix diets for views.

Love your talk on body positivity and that you really looked at all the different sides of fitness (good and bad)

I’m only 13, and I lost 30 pounds. Then I was pretty healthy. But then I began to keep onto not eating all that my body needed and my stomach shrunk. I would get full really quickly and not feel hungry. So I barely ate. But I came with terms to myself because I kept losing weight... 1 pound a day. Which isn’t healthy AT ALL. I realized that I needed to eat more, and if I still needed to lose weight, if I’d be healthy, my body would do it on its own. I forced myself to eat more... and I’m so glad I realized my problem before it was too late. My stomach is normal again... and I can give a lot of thanks to you Keltie for promoting a healthy lifestyle.

I was going to comment something revolving the idea that what was the point of doing the video if you didn't follow it? (I clicked on this video because RU-vid recommended me and I wanted to see how much weight you lost). Then, you started to talk about the deeper aspects to it and I said to myself "great another RU-vidr that is going to talk about self love and nutrition." I swear that I feel like this is the first time that I truly connect with the message of these types of videos. Clearly everyone has their own perspective and I may have not connected with everything you said, but the way you talked about ""if there is something you dont like about yourself, stopping you from enjoying life in anyway, you should change it” Really got me. So, thank you very much bc I realized that I really should focus on my mental health. You have no idea how those words and the way you build up to them impacted me. I truly feel like I have gained a new perspective on life and a different way to live up to that.

People love to give their opinions and criticize others. I had a heart attack 4 months ago. 3 stents. While on the operating table, I stopped smoking after 33 years and went on a fitness plan quest. 2 months after my heart attack I dropped 20 lbs by eating healthy. Now 4 months after my heart attack, I work out with a personal trainer 4x week and run 2 miles 4x a week. I'm down another 20lbs. And boy did people have opinions about me being unhealthy!!!! Was I supposed to die and not make changes? Wow!. I feel the best I have ever felt. I can run them all in a circle. I am 49. I chose to live. So you go Adele!!! Do you, be accountable to you! Rock on!

I've never been this early!! Yay! Love you Keltie 😊

Your roots look so shiney and healthy, cant wait to see them grow out ❤️ love you boo

I’ve been struggling with my weight for the last couple of years and I have tried extreme diets which have worked in the past (revenge body when I was in my early 20s, I now realize was more bordering on body dismorphia as I was already a UK size 8) but only alongside an excessive exercise routine. I now have a much healthier approach and since the start of COVID quarantine I’ve actually lost 7lbs just by building healthy habits, not by major restrictions (I have had McDonald’s nuggets two days this week 🙈). If this worked for her then great but having experience in both types of dieting I honestly feel so much more satisfied with my results this way (I do miss the speed of weight loss I experienced in the last though 😭🤣)

I appreciate your thoughts on this topic - there is always SO much more then goes into these things from both the overweight, underweight and life balance of eating/fitness/lifestyle. From someone whose prior had an eating disorder but now has a better handle on balance and lifestyle goals - thank you.

I did twice this “sirt diet”, and both of these times I lost my period for few months afterwards...

Love your take on health and acceptance of all body times. Keep spreading the love Keltie, society needs this kind of positivity! Xxx

Loved this!!! Just one thing.....Adele has a son lol great job Keltie with another amazing video

I think different people can benefit from different approaches at different times in their lives. I did an elimination diet before I had kids and was extremely limited for 6 weeks which helped me transitioning into 2 years of sustainable fat loss and honoring my body... But i was always in an inquisitive/learning mindset. Sometimes making temporary drastic changes can be eye opening and inform which long term sustainable changes are most effective. When you feel bad or unhealthy for a really long time, your mind adapts. It can be really hard to remember or understand how much better you could be feeling. But 💯 agree that it doesn't mean anything and can make things worse if you can't translate that to sustainable action 🤷. Love the healthy take on getting and being healthy! Thank you so much for your vids, Keltie 💕

Media ruins everything. The fact that people even criticize someone wanting to make a POSITIVE change in their health is ABSURD. LIVE and LET LIVE. Adele's transformation didn't happen overnight she worked HARD for it.

I love that Keltie critiques these extreme diets. People who 'live' by these diets concern me and its promotion only propagates an unhealthy relationship with food

I really enjoyed this video and I appreciate thoughtful way you create content. Also I died when you drank the full pulp green juice 😂😂

People are right to feel that losing weight shouldn’t be glorified. You shouldn’t want to lose weight just to be smaller. I’ve lost 20lbs during quarantine from not overeating and consistently working out and my mobility has improved immensely, and I don’t feel like I necessarily looked overweight. I’m so much more comfortable moving around and doing basic things, that’s the most impressive part about my health journey that I wasn’t expecting

Just entered to win! And my work said they’ll match my donation 😊 I would cry if I won.. love you Keltie and love this challenge! Xx

You are so funny and down to earth! Just subbed! Thank you for supporting Adele's life transformation. Someone getting truly healthy is always praiseworthy!

Your hair is looking great!

Thank you Keltie! Working on ED recovery now, and intuitive eating+ exercising is such a blessing 💕

"10 out of 10 recommend . . . getting a juicer" lmaooo

Oh my heck, I love you!!!! You remind me of all of my most favorite people I have known...just authentic and genuine but hilarious and super knowledgeable. Thanks for the informative video and the laughs!

“It’s like drinking vomit”. I totally cringed with you.

Adele looks SO amazing! Thank you for doing a video on her, that is *positive* and not “shaming” her for getting FIT and HEALTHY! ⏳ ✨ 💪🏻 🎀

keltie just has this chaotic energy that is so fun to watch hahaha

I love how positive this video was. You don’t bash Adele, you don’t do any crazy unhealthy diets, you just state opinions and do what’s right for you. And that’s so important

40 pounds in 4 years? she was way over 40 pounds overweight, especially compared to her weight now. she probably lost half her total weight lol

Your hair is looking AMAZING!!! So proud of you and how you are owning this part of your journey!

The fact that Adele is skinnier than me is really hitting me hard lmaooooo

i literally love you SO MUCH OH MY GOD LIKE YOURE THE ONLY FITNESS RU-vidR THAT DOESNT MAKE ME FEEL BAD ABOUT MYSELF! i love your body but i find that i never find myself thinking “i want her body” i feel that i can watch your videos without comparing your body to mine. i seriously appreciate that so much. i love you kelt!

I'm all for adopting healthier habits for weight loss, but this diet is stupid and I'm glad you address that.

I hope anyone agrees with me on the fact that Keltie seems to be the person you want to talk to everyday because she is so damn funny and open hearted and at the same time is able to talk about serious topics and always seems to find the right words. Like, everyone needs a Keltie in their life

saying that someone looks amazing because they changed their life, got healthy and lost weight does not = saying they weren’t beautiful before

I remember a bunch of the comments made about Adele's weight loss was positive but in a backhanded way; they were all variants of saying her weight loss was the most successful thing of her life. It really emphasized the fact that from a societal standpoint, it's pushed on us women that the best we have to offer is our looks. Adele has always been wildly successful in her career, but so many people only see her weight loss as her greatest achievement.

I love healthy smoothies but that green smoothie looks like I'll be gassy all day

I really love your final words. Thank you for bringing more awareness of losing weight, body types and health .
