The Sirtfood Diet has been on my radar since I saw the transformation of Adele. Before that, I didn’t know anything about it. And because I want to learn as much as I could about healthy eating, nutrition and diet, reading about sirtfoods was inevitable for me. I’m so glad I read this. Learning about sirtuins was fun and enlightening.
Sirtfoods are the foods that are rich in particular nutrients. These nutrients help us activate the same skinny genes in our bodies that fasting triggers. So, the book says you can eat certain foods, and your body will act like it is fasting. But, and this is a big but here, you’ll not lose any muscle on the way.
As with many diet books, there are parts in this book that I’m afraid I have to disagree, and there are parts I enjoyed reading. I don’t want to focus on the parts I disagree, but I want to cherish the things I’ve learned. Like the top 20 sirtfoods!
I’ll be eating more of these foods because most of them are keto-friendly and the foods I already consume daily. But I definitely won’t try the Sirtfood diet. I’m not a juicer; I don’t think I’ll ever be. And I most definitely cannot eat or drink four times a day. Even two meals a day is too hard for me sometimes, and I believe fasting is very healthy. I know it may not be for everyone, but it works for me.
With a quick search, you can find the top 20 sirtfoods, but I’d suggest you read this book and many other diet books before changing your eating habits. Remember that this is a neverending adventure and learning is a must when it comes to healthy eating. Enjoy the ride!
I’d suggest you read The Obesity Code along with this one.
The Sirtfood Diet
Welcome to the official Sirt Food Diet – the revolutionary way to lose 7lb in 7 days. Add healthy Sirt foods to your diet for effective and sustained weight loss, incredible energy and glowing health.
Switch on your body’s fat-burning powers, supercharge weight loss and help stave off disease with this easy-to-follow diet developed by the experts in nutritional medicine who proved the impact of Sirtfoods.
Dark chocolate, coffee, kale – these are all foods that activate sirtuins and switch on the so-called ‘skinny gene’ pathways in the body. These are the same pathways more commonly activated by fasting and exercise – meaning they help the body to burn fat, increase muscle and improve health.
Based on trials that showed an increase in lean muscle, as well as consistent weight loss of 7lbs over the course of just one week, The Sirtfood Diet is revolutionizing sports nutrition and healthy eating.
Written by the nutritional experts behind those trials, and the only book rooted in their scientific research, The Sirtfood Diet gives you:
– a simple, healthy way of eating for weight loss
– inspirational case studies
– delicious, easy-to-make recipes
– a maintenance plan for prolonged success
