Adele Exercises Three Times a Day, Paranoid About Becoming Fat Again

And I thought it was some kind of bariatric procedure. My bad.

I’m assuming Adele’s message to “experts” is something along the lines of “suck my dick”

Maybe she’s one of those people who does everything to extremes. Not judging.

Her next album will bomb because she no longer looks like her demographic.

Poor woman. Does she realize how sick to death we are of hearing about her? Put out some music or SHUT UP.

Eat less, move more

2 or 3 times a day??!! She has become an anorexic exercise freak.

Someday she will level off and go back to being plumpish again.

I doubt her current boyfriend would mind if she was a few pounds heavier.

This is not healthy!1!!1!

She seem extremely high maintenance in the interview. I bet she’d be hell to live with and would blow her fuse if you didn’t laugh at her jokes or complement her cooking.

Stupid question, but I wonder if losing that much weight changed her singing voice in some way.

R11 - yeah, I don't know the dynamics, but it seems like big women have bigger, stronger singing voices. There are exceptions - like Whitney.

They're making a lot out of nothing - she probably goes for a walk, does some light weights, and some other movement in the evening. It's healthy.

We sit on our asses way too much.

R12 she does weights in the morning, boxing or a walk in the afternoon and sometimes more cardio in the evening per the Vogue interview.

[QUOTE] I bet she’d be hell to live with and would blow her fuse if you didn’t laugh at her jokes or complement her cooking.

She probably never cooked a meal in her life.

R13, if that's her routine it's far from unhealthy or stressful to the body. That scaremongering article is ridiculous. But I will say that she did not lose 100 lbs and maintain it by exercise alone. That is a bold faced lie. She either had bariatric surgery or she is on a strict diet of some kind that she doesn't want to share.

[QUOTE] if that's her routine it's far from unhealthy or stressful to the body.

Everyday? I disagree. She’s headed toward a crisis.

Uh... no, R16. Couch potatoes are headed for a crisis, not someone who moves their body 3 x a day. I walk 10k steps a day and split it up in 2-3 walks. I also do some dumbbell strength work daily. No crisis here. Quite the opposite. I have better health (both mental and physical) than 90% of Americans my age.

“There are exceptions - like Whitney.”

Now there is a voice. Nobody has come along since who had her kind of power and control. She could go really low or really high. And mail every note live. (I’m speaking of non-trained, pop singers). At her peak, she was the best.

*nail

Celine also. She has different skills but man can that lady SING.

I like Adele and root for her for some reason. She is not insufferable like most pop stars. Her music is good to listen to this time of year. I do wish she would drop the thing already. It’s been years, and we have to wait another WEEK just to hear the first single.

R12 Lol no. I used to think that too but big voices with big bodies like Aretha and Chaka and Patti were all slim at one point, they just got fat as they got older.

It wouldn’t make sense because being healthy and skinny would give better breath control.

That’s why the big girls sweat to death on stage. There’s a video of Sarah Vaughan when she got fat in her old age and as beautiful as she sounded, she looked like she was going to drown in her own sweat.

Is anyone else not impressed by her voice?

I feel like she hits the same exact notes in all her songs because it’s the only thing she’s capable of.

She doesn’t have a very colorful voice is that makes sense. Like it always sounds the same. Even Madonna has different vocals on her songs and she’s more limited.

I just heard a snippet of the single. Even she looks bored listening to it.

Whenever you see a celebrity say "I LOVE my curves," they are guaranteed to go on a dramatic diet soon. I liked her better chubby, her face was prettier and more interesting. But everyone around them is telling them to be thin, so...

I've never understood the hooplah about her voice, r22. It always sounds like she's singing flat, and her songs mostly sound like boring dirges. She's ludicrously overrated as an artist.

R24 I guarantee you no one was telling Adele to lose weight. She was celebrated for being a whale.

Like most obese women, she probably always wanted to be skinny and beautiful and be able to look nice in dresses. She can wear any shoe or dress she wants to now.

Considering she probably sits on her ass most of the day (no chores to do), she is NOT overdoing the exercising.

Many people have an eating disorder, so what. Her ED yields a net positive.

From one shallow soul to another?

3 times a day seems fine. To maintain my current weight I try and burn 650 calories a day. That alone is hard to do in one go unless its an hour long HIT which I hate. I prefer smaller workouts, so does Adelle.

She looks way better and is I'm sure way healthier. Hopefully she quit smoking too.

People who lose extreme amounts of weight (it's always through surgery, even the ones who lie about it) always seem miserable or sickly within five years. Maybe it's like trans where they think "if only..." and then when they do it it doesn't fix their lives and they're more miserable than they were before because they realize the reason they were miserable in the first place was because it's just who they are.

Jennifer Hudson?

I still haven’t seen her actual body. She is always cover up in layers. We have no idea what size she is.

She's an ample woman.

Not always covered up.

She is not stick thin in those pics.

Nope. She never has been. She's lost weight over a ten year period.

R36, are you fucking kidding? How much skinnier is a stick to you? Do you literally need to see bones sticking out?

She has slimmed down. But that doesn't get people riled up. Hence "skinny" has to be thrown around to get clicks.

She looked better fat. I mean she looked good. Full-figured but damn good.

Now she looks generic, cheap and too thin.

fat is the new thin

She does not look too thin.

She looks wonderful now! A little fat still, but getting there. Maybe another 25 lbs?

well she does @OP

But what about the Bass?! That's what it's all about damn it!

She should be okay as long she doesn't go with the T25 extreme shit.

She needs help.

She does weights in the am, hikes in the afternoon, and cardio in the evening. Only fat asses would think that’s too much.

Maybe she only exercises for 20 minutes three times a day.

Everyday? Still overkill, R49.

People who exercise that much end up with hip and knee replacements in their 50s.

She's had a boob job and lift. Probably weighs about 155lbs at 5ft 10. Black guys don't like flat and skinny anyway so she's fine.

Adele initially lost weight to try and attract her good friend Harry Styles but he only goes for model type bodies with no tits. Forget Harry if you weigh over 120 lbs.

[QUOTE] Adele initially lost weight to try and attract her good friend Harry Styles

Where do you get this, R53?

We don't know her.

I don't think he's as prescriptive as you insist, r53.

Nobody wants greasy Harry Styles who doesn’t look like he’s had a bath or brushed his teeth in a decade.

Presented without comment.

She's a sick cunt.

Fucking CANCEL her fat ass.

[Quote] CANCEL her fat ass.

Jazzercise already did that, babes.

Wow, he is superfug @ R58.

Remember the days when Adele actually used to care about music?

Now she's become a vapid, narcissistic CUNT.

I despise her.

r11 Nope. She still sings fat.

If she lost 100 pounds through sensible diet and exercise, her health will be okay though she'll have to work hard to maintain the look. I've never known a bariatric surgery patient who didn't end up with health problems. Weight loss surgery doesn't work because the issues that cause the overeating are mental and often not dealt with, so of course the patient relapses.

There is NO way this is true. She had surgery folks. And probably the help of some good drugs. She is not toned AF and she has the same facial pulling/drawed look that other bariatric patients do.

I laughed my ass off when she said she had to move to Los Angeles because housing prices were so high in London

Don't you have to be a certain size to have surgery? Adele wasn't big when she promoted her last album. Big for Hollywood, yes but not in the real world.

R67, there are doctors who perform unspeakable surgeries. A little lap-band on a bazillionaire who’s 25 pounds shy of the “required” weight probably isn’t a dealbreaker.

She influences millions of little girls around the world.

She’s got an OCD personality. She’s running from something

She was drinking 3 bottles of wine a night in her own admission, she’s in a lot of pain. Just like Eminem, she replaced her addiction with exercise and probably eating issues

Run bitch, run. That treadmill isn’t going to move itself.

Little Nas. Is this passive aggressive?

What was the tweet, R73?

Overexercising and being underweight will age and weaken the female body dramatically beyond the teens/early 20s. Biologically, the model of a healthy female human is meant to be carring a little extra weight and is meant to have a less constantly active lifestyle as compared to the that’s. That’s many thousands of years of evolution, and you can’t defeat that with a Peloton, or a lap band, or Slimfast. Just facts.

^^*as compared to the MALES.

She’s just an overrated chav who looks good in makeup. Would not have had a career if Amy Winehouse lived. I don’t get the overblown hype.

It's kind of adorable that "experts" think anyone cares about long-term health risks MORE than being thin.

[QUOTE] She was drinking 3 bottles of wine a night in her own admission, she’s in a lot of pain.

She said 5 bottles, not 3. Alcoholic Adele.

Ah, but still she is no match for my Queen Sissi.

It sounds like she has a lot of anxiety and uses exercise for tension relief and the pleasure of feeling strong. She looks perfectly healthy, and doesn’t seem that bothered about getting fatter or not. She was never a “love my fat body” person and isn’t an “admire my thin body” now person—all she said in her interviews is that she’s annoyed by other people using her body as an example of anything.

R34 you’re still too fat!

[QUOTE] She looks perfectly healthy

She’s not healthy at all. And she’s an alcoholic too? Just a matter of time before she crashes and burns. Then all of that weight will come back in a month.

To me, she looked way prettier before.

Is she the poor man’s Amy Winehouse?

Adele has sold millions more records than Junkie Wino ever did. Her new single just broke Spotify's 24 hour streaming record. She beat the Fugkooks aka BTS.

Damon Albarn once called her a creative bore, and while I know the man to be a slimy pretentious hypocritical closet-case prick, in this one case I don’t disbelieve him. Stopped clocks, and all that.

And yet he agreed to work with her, so...

Damon Alspaz peaked in 1995.

I actually liked those Gorillaz hits.

R89 How did he peak in 1995 when Gorillaz came out after? “Feel Good Inc” and “On Melancholy Hill” are his best work. I don’t care about Blur.

Oh, please. It’s not her crazy exercise program that her publicist made up. It’s that she has a dietician and chef who have completely remade her diet.

Or her gastric bypass

R58 Chav and Chavette

[quote] She was drinking 3 bottles of wine a night in her own admission, she’s in a lot of pain.

I liked her better back then.

And she was far more interesting.

I can't stand the "new" Adele.

All self-made famous and creative people have extreme personalities. Adele has replaced alcohol and food with restrictive dieting and exercise. She’s probably a workaholic too. If she tended towards the balanced life, she wouldn’t have got anywhere in her career.

i like her but please.

she definitely got a lapband.

Her face now looks like that of an anorexic. She's taking it too far.

She has terrible, saggy skin and horrible wrinkles…

She got a lapband when she was already down to this weight years ago?

R97 You do realize that is what everyone says when someone loses 100lbs don't you? She's not anorexic, she's not even skinny, she looks just right. If you didn't see her before, you wouldn't even think twice.

R100 Her face was prettier before when it was more plump. Now it looks like a deflated balloon.

She also looks really unhappy, R101.

Her face was prettier before when it was more plump

That's your opinion, of course, I think she looks better now, she's just right and not fat or skinny.

And how does someone look unhappy? Because she's not beaming like a blithering idiot like on Tiktok? Do you know her personally? Jesus, you queens seem to know everything about everybody.

Adele said she still drinks 5 bottles of wine in one night NOW. She hasn't stopped. She's probably a UK Size 12 when before she was an 18. So hardly anorexic. And she didn't look better before with her double chin and big belly. Your face doesn't 'sag' at 33. She has great facial bone structure.

Not in love with the new song. Can she change it up just a bit? Nothing crazy out of left field BUT the "hand in the wind" shit is getting tiresome and that last record was awful except for a couple of songs. She did really well with the team on "21." That's a great record.

R86 So you measure the quality of art by how many pieces have been sold and how popular it is? You must have a great taste then.

I don't see the problem with exercising 3x per day as long as she's not overstraining herself. Dancers and athletes do this and they are just fine.

She’s thinner, but I’d expect more definition from someone who’s exercising with weights. But I guess some people are just built that way.

die Fette Sau!

As long as she keeps taking Adderall, she has nothing to worry about. `

[quote] die Fette Sau!

At least I'm not Die Fett Frau, like you!

It must be really fun to get dragged for being fat and then get dragged for losing weight. Women just can’t win.

I can’t imagine having to read in every story about you a direct or indirect reference to your weight.

Looking at new video, she is enjoying being the pretty good, and who can blame her?

She has a chef, dietician and personal trainer. It's really no mystery. And some people's skin will sag if they lose a lot of weight, regardless of how they lost it. However I don't see this in her face at all, I think she looks good. Pretty is pretty, whether you're fat or not. She had a good foundation to work with.

[QUOTE] And some people's skin will sag if they lose a lot of weight, regardless of how they lost it. However I don't see this in her face at al

Gee, I wonder why.

Because she lost weight with each successive album...

Something looks ghoulish about her face in OP's pic (hence the anorexia reference). It might just be the way her makeup is done.

I think she looks haggard but that's what happens when you spend most of your adult life being fat and then go on to lose it. Formerly fat people who lose weight look better body wise but skin wise they don't. It's generally a wash but their health is usually much better unless you're Adele and drinking too much....she didn't learn her lesson about over doing it.

She’s only 33! It’s not like she lost 100 pounds aged 70. I don’t even think she looks particularly slender now, just smaller than she was.

'I think she looks haggard but that's what happens when you spend most of your adult life being fat and then go on to lose it.'

She's been overweight since she was 18 but not so vast that her skin will have stretched out past the point of no return. She lost all the weight aged 30-31 when the skin is still very elastic.

No. She lost a lot of weight prior to 30-31.

R121, she's 33 now and has only been this size for around two years.

Here is Adele at the 2012 Brit Awards. The year Two Thousand and Twelve.

She has yo-yoed over the years (she was bigger than the 2012 picture in the Hello era), but again, she’s still young enough that she won’t have major problems with sagging skin.

Not a crazy difference. She's not an Aretha or a Carnie Wilson.

Exercising 3x a day? Where do we send her Mother Of The Year nomination?

By DL standards she used to be a whale but she was at her biggest aged about 16-18. After that she slimmed down to around a US size 14/16 and is now around a US size 6-8.

She will be fat again soon

It is almost impossible to maintain this kind of regimen.

While such obsessiveness can carry her for a while, eventually she won't be able to continue, so will start gaining weight.

People who make smaller changes whose combined and cumulative impact have good results will more likely keep the weight off than those who make drastic changes that require so much work and effort that they are almost impossible to sustain, especially when you cannot maintain a "normal" routine - like someone who travels a lot or has an erratic work schedule, like a singing star who goes on concert tours.

I feel like wealthy people CAN maintain any type of lifestyle they are living due to their abundant resources—they just have to keep the ambition and interest. If Adele gets pregnant again that is the only thing that will prevent her from keeping her current figure. All that drinking and age will eventually catch up to her though.

She looks great.

3 times a day ? Is she getting exercise/diet advise from you fat shaming bitches on DL?

R6 “But how does it work?” LOL

But how does this make Lizzo feel?

R134 Outraged

It's an addiction and disorder. Whether it's overeating or not eating at all. Our society is so sick and I can't point the blame to the individual all the time. Food is so chemically processed and organic foods aren't always easy to get, people work long hours and are tired stressed, eating comfort food and watching TV or playing on a smartphone becomes appealing, advertisers have a field day with marketing diets and "healthy foods" and the beauty standards pushed by the media are unrealistic and on the extreme.

I like Adele and I feel she isn't clueless, she's rich and has the resources to get healthy. She did that and I can understand why she's paranoid. All the work that went into losing that weight would make you super-protective of keeping it that way. Working out once a day or every other day is enough though.

The "I'm too poor to eat decent food" is bullshit. If your schedule is chock-a-block, you can prepare dinner for multiple days, freeze it, and then microwave it on the day. You do not HAVE to eat fast food etc.

That's true people don't have to eat fast food or junk food. I've noticed a lot of children pick up their bad habits from their parents who feed them junk food and are overweight themselves. Schools also feed children junk. A lot of adults can break this cycle but have become lazy or complacent. Irony is cooking at home from fresh ingredients is far less expensive than going out to McDonalds or Starbucks or buying chips and candies in bulk.

'While such obsessiveness can carry her for a while, eventually she won't be able to continue, so will start gaining weight.People who make smaller changes whose combined and cumulative impact have good results will more likely keep the weight off than those who make drastic changes that require so much work and effort that they are almost impossible to sustain, especially when you cannot maintain a "normal" routine - like someone who travels a lot or has an erratic work schedule, like a singing star who goes on concert tours.'

She's already been this slim for two years. She doesn't perform or do many interviews so her time is her own. I think she'll use covid as an excuse not to tour the forthcoming album. Her last 'busy' period was five years ago.

She'll blow out her voice again.

It's rare for people to be able to keep the weight off long term. I've heard theories that it's possible that the body creates fat cells that want to be replenished. Often people end up putting the weight back on, and some more.

📈🪞😩

I think there are some career fatties posting in this thread.

R143 If 100% American posters, we can assume that number is at least 50%. It’s slightly lower than the average as a whole because a sizable contingent of us gives two fucks.

She sings FAT. Not PHAT. Why doesn't this whore cure cancer or at the very least give her take to cancer research? We are forced to hear about her snoring, boring ass whenever she drops something. Greedy, gassy cow. Bitch gives me a headache.

The only people who keep the weight off are those gluttons whose calorie in take was masses above the norm. So a 6ft guy with a regular metabolism who got to 300 lbs by regularly eating 4000 cals a day instead of the recommended 2500 cals could cut down to 2000 cals a day, lose 130lbs, then maintain 170lbs on 2500 cals.

Those who always pack weight back on are the slow metabolism crew who put on weight on 1000 cals a day and have to cut right to 700 or lower to lose it. This is why this crew lose weight with gastric bands as it restricts their calorie intake to 400 cals a day. My friend is one such guy.

Good for her.

She can diet but she can’t lose that forehead though.

Her new single is not getting heavy radio rotation where I live. In fact, I haven’t heard it in over a week. Is (skinny) Adele over?

What's a "radio"?

[Quote] The only people who keep the weight off are those gluttons whose calorie in take was masses above the norm.

Jennifer Hudson disproves that theory.

Good. I want my idols to show self-discipline and deprivation.

You want a hot body? You want a Bugatti?

You want a Maserati? You better work, bitch

You want a Lamborghini? Sippin' martinis?

Look hot in a bikini? You better work, bitch

You wanna live fancy? Live in a big mansion?

Party in France?

You better work, bitch!

Adele is at number 1 on the Hot 100 and in the UK. Probably in many other countries too.

She will be fat again. I have fought it all my life. It never lasts. She may be thin again, too.

She's actually number one on the official charts of 23 countries including US, UK, Australia, Canada, Italy, Brazil, Denmark. Sweden, Singapore. Even in tricky market France she is number 2.

She is quite beautiful...very beautiful, in fact.

All this weight talk is disturbing and beside the point.....I just watched her do the 73 questions thing, and what bugged me had nothing to do with her weight--it was her new "glamour"--tossing her hair while graciously answering questions in her beautiful home, etc....She always seemed down to earth....that was the whole point of Adele. Now she's gone LA.

Only Los Angelenos toss their hair? Let her feel her oats.

R157 she’s rich but still seems accessible enough to me

[QUOTE] While exercise by its simplest definition is a healthy habit, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Training too much can negatively affect your mental and physical health, and the signs you may need to dial it back might not be so obvious.

[QUOTE] One of exercise’s biggest benefits is that it helps to release the feel-good hormones like dopamine. But dopamine is bi-directional, Gallucci explained, and this is where you can fall into a tricky spot.

[QUOTE]“For someone who has just started getting active, the pleasure centers in the brain are being rewarded as they work out,” he said. “This in turn makes that person want to keep exercising, and perhaps exercise longer or harder. But over time the brain gets used to that reward system and the amount of dopamine is reduced.”

[QUOTE]It’s this drop in dopamine that may also spark overexercising, as the person is now trying to ramp up their activity level to feel that same reward, Gallucci noted.

[QUOTE]“No matter what, eventually we become immune to the dopamine reward response,” he said. “What was an unexpected pleasure yesterday is now what we feel entitled to today. And it’s not going to be enough for tomorrow.”

We don't know her.

How long before Adele ends up like this poor woman?

Sigh... I am EXHAUSTED by Adele's fatphobia here!

That just means she has zero control over food. You can't out exercise a shitty diet Adele...Even if you work out 3 times a day.

Yeah, how much does she eat to have to work out this much??

We don't know her.

She probably walks her dog three times a day. It's been lockdown for many people.

Nobody calls walking their dog “exercise.”

All these exercise addicts are going to need knee replacements in their 50s. I have three friends already who've had them before age 60. These were the run 10 kilometres a day types. I walk 2 kilometres a day and have never had any kind of joint pain. We're not designed to run endlessly.

Adele is a functioning alkie. Her next single is even called I LIKE WINE.

Gurl, you can get down to a size zero, you'll still have the spirit of a big bitch.

R169 - I have exerised very regularly for about 13 years, but one thing I can't do is run for very long. If I do, it starts to make my joints feel funny. I can do high intensity "body attack" classes with jumping and squatting, and I can walk for days with no problems. But run on a treadmill for 10 minutes and my joints don't feel so good. It's weird, I don't know how others do it.

^exercised, sorry.

Adele is going off the rails.

I lost 45lb on a Watkins diet with walks and yoga and never gained a pound back since and there goes 10 years. I jog today for 30 minutes 3x a week and walk everywhere. It's not that hard.

She’s become insufferable and her new album sucks.

Despite being scared of getting fat again, she might consider stopping popping the Adderall ... she's a mess now.

She looks better fat. Thin women are miserable. That's the truth, you have to work like a dog to maintain it at a certain age. She doesn't look happy anymore.

R98 she just looks like a woman in her 30s?

Some of you really are brainwashed by makeup and airbrushing and celeb culture. Normal adult women ageing naturally don’t look like smooth plastic sex-robots.

She does not look better fat with a double chin and bloated face. She looks fine at the weight she is now. She is neither thin or fat. Let’s hope she can maintain this weight if she wants to live in LA.

R160 really interesting, and so true.

Even pro-athletes in top-flight sport routinely take days off every week for rest & recovery, to make sure the connective tissue is not damaged and that the bodily systems don’t fall out of whack. And injured players take months off to rehab injuries.

The amount she is exercising speaks volumes as to how fat-phobic her industry is. What a fun life she must lead. A slave.

The key to losing weight is diet. Exercise will have minimal impact. Diet is everything.

Of course, exercise is important to health, but not weight.

See all those thin models with muscle-less legs and arms. They don't exercise. They simply don't eat much.
