Everyone wants to know: How has the 43-year-old gotten into such great shape? Celebwell rounded up a few of the health habits responsible for her weight loss.

Christina is known to follow the rainbow diet, a unique way of eating that involves consuming foods of a single color on each day of the week. According to Cosmopolitan, on Monday she would eat white, followed by red, green, orange, purple, yellow, etc. How could this be beneficial? While there are no studies backing up the diet, Healthline confirms that "focusing on eating a variety of colors will increase your intake of different nutrients, giving your body an array of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals to benefit your health.”

2. Embracing Her Body Type

Chrsitina confessed in an interview that she “hated being super skinny” earlier in her career. “I think we all have our good days and our bad days in how we feel about ourselves,” she said “Once I turned 21, I started filling out a little bit, and I was loving my new curves. I appreciated having a booty. I've always said that women are way more interesting to look at than men! I have a hard time looking at the early pictures of myself because I remember feeling so insecure. I would never want to relive my 20s—you're so in your own head and finding your confidence. As you age, you stop comparing yourself to other people and start appreciating your own body and owning it.”

3. Dancing

To prepare for her Las Vegas residency, Christina spent several hours every day dancing, which helps build strength, promotes flexibility, and also helps you lose weight and promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

4. Yoga

Christina finds yoga “grounding and centering” and claims it “has also been instrumental in helping me.” There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

5. Clean Eating

Christina revealed in 2020 that she was focusing on clean eating. "I'm not going on a diet, get over it," she told L'Officiel Italia. "Each of us is an individual and people judge you based on your differences, on what makes you unique. You have to accept that beauty and to hell with everything else."

Facing her mental health issues straight on helps keep Christina on track. “I experienced a lot of trauma in my childhood—I've spoken very openly about it,” she said in an April 2021 interview with Health. “But I think that was just part of my path. I've definitely had struggles in the past with depression and anxiety—it's a constant battle to overcome a mind that is anxious, a mind that is always second-guessing.”

2. She Isn’t Focused On Being Skinny

“I think we all have our good days and our bad days in how we feel about ourselves. Entering this business, I hated being super skinny,” Christina recently confessed. “Once I turned 21, I started filling out a little bit, and I was loving my new curves. I appreciated having a booty. I've always said that women are way more interesting to look at than men! I have a hard time looking at the early pictures of myself because I remember feeling so insecure. I would never want to relive my 20s—you're so in your own head and finding your confidence. As you age, you stop comparing yourself to other people and start appreciating your own body and owning it.”

3. She Works On Herself

“I'm proud of my honesty. It's a really hard thing to stick to in this business, especially when you've grown up under a microscope at a time when society was very critical of young women. I've had to work through a lot of insecurities in front of everybody,” Christina explained. “Every setback has catapulted me forward. I think that's my fighting spirit. And, at the end of the day, living that truth and being honest has always propelled me forward.”

4. She Does Yoga

Christina focuses on “grounding and centering” like writing and spending time in nature. “Also, getting outside helps—even if it's just my backyard. Feeling grass under my feet and looking at trees and clouds helps,” she told Health. “Yoga has also been instrumental in helping me.”

5. She Reportedly Likes a Colorful Diet

While Christina rarely discusses her diet, according to Cosmopolitan she was once following the rainbow diet, which promotes eating foods of a single color on each day of the week. For instance, on Monday she would eat white, followed by red, green, orange, purple, yellow, etc.

Adele’s new album, 30, is out today, getting rave reviews. Fans are also impressed with her weight loss. She lost 100 pounds during the pandemic lockdown, and has talked about how she did it—and, in a new interview, how she still has insecurities despite the major achievement. Read on to see 5 things Adele has to say about her outlook—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Still Has Things About Her Body She Does Not Like

“I don’t know if I feel different. I still have things about my body that I don’t like,” she said in an interview with The Face magazine published Thursday. “They’re not insecurities. But on the cover of Vogue, they were all trying to put me in sleeveless dresses. I was like: ​’I ain’t showing my arms! Are you mad?‘ I’ve never liked my arms, ever, and I still don’t like my arms. It goes back to that thing of being thin and being happy. “Yeah, my arms are half the size, don’t mean I f–king like them! F–king hate my feet still.”

2. She Can’t Wear Stuff That Used to Fit

“There’s so much jewelry I can’t wear [now] because of my hands. No one tells you that, when someone loses weight,” she explained. “Not that I was trying to lose weight. But my rings don’t fit me anymore. Things that were gifts for my 21st birthday, I can’t f–king wear,” she told the Face.

3. She Worked Out Three Times a Day

“It was because of my anxiety. Working out, I would just feel better. It was never about losing weight, it was always about becoming strong and giving myself as much time every day without my phone. I got quite addicted to it. I work out two or three times a day,” she told British Vogue. She added: “So I do my weights in the morning, then I normally hike or I box in the afternoon, and then I go and do my cardio at night. I was basically unemployed when I was doing it. And I do it with trainers.”

4. She Can Joke About Her Weight Loss

She joked about her weight loss in her opening monologue on Saturday Night Live. "I know I look really, really different since you last saw me," Adele said. "But actually, because of all the Covid restrictions…I had to travel light and I could only bring half of me, and this is the half I chose."

5. This is What She Wants to Say with 30

With her new album 30: “I just wanted to acknowledge all of the many layers of myself, which I think is definitely something that comes with age. Obviously, after a really big life moment, like my divorce, it’s good to experiment a little bit more with sort of eclectic inspirations. I wanted to, more than anything, just comfort myself. It wasn’t really about what I wanted to say for people. It was more like: ​’What do I need to hear for myself, lyrically?’ It was just my friend, [the process of] making this album. I had to spend a lot of time on my own in order to figure a lot of things out,” she told the Face.

2. She Decided to “Turn Over a New Leaf”

“I’m ready to change my ways; I’ve been saying I’m ready to turn over a new leaf, but I’m running out of trees now.

I have a fabulous team supporting me, both professionals and family/friends, but at the end of the day, I have to be the one committed toward bettering myself. I know I have the power in me to lose the weight,” she continued in the same post.

On her TLC docuseries, I Am Jazz, she revealed that her eating issues started as a result of mental health struggles in 2019. That year she deferred her admission to Harvard University. “Having all this extra weight, I can’t do so many things with my body that I used to be able to do,” she said on a November 2021 episode of her show. “I do experience fat-shaming from my family. It makes me feel really humiliated.”

I really am working on this weight loss so I can be healthier and more me.”

So supportive and empathetic. Thanks for always being there for me. Now I just have to be consistent in order to reach my health goals!🩷🩷🩷 Baby steps,” she captioned a recent post.
