It was never about getting 'super skinny': Pete
Pete said that Adele never attuned her talent with her body. He said, "She never undermined her God-given talent in any way. She let her incredible voice do the talking...She never once pretended to be something that she wasn't." He added that the weight loss journey "was never about getting super skinny". "It was about getting her healthy," he asserted.

Adele's weight loss journey started last year
Notably, Adele had kicked-off her weight loss journey after a particularly turbulent period in her personal life. The singer split from her former husband Simon Konecki in April 2019. She now lives in Los Angeles with her son Angelo. "It's only natural that with change comes a new sense of self and wanting to be your best possible version," Pete said.

Pete hoped people would appreciate Adele's hard work
Pete said that Adele's transformation "is not for album sales, publicity or to be a role model. She's doing it for herself and for Angelo." "My hope is that people appreciate the hard work that Adele has done... She did not lose the weight to make others feel bad about themselves. This personal transformation has nothing to do with me or you," he added.
