Sirtfood Diet is a low-calorie, nutrient-dense diet that emphasizes the consumption of foods that activate sirtuins, a class of proteins in the body associated with longevity and health benefits. This diet aims to boost metabolism, promote weight loss and improve overall health. It includes foods such as red wine, dark chocolate, blueberries, turmeric, green tea, and leafy greens.
The diet consists of two phases:
- The first phase lasts for one week and involves eating a calorie-restricted diet that includes 3 sirtfood green juices and one main meal per day, totaling to around 1,000 calories per day.
- The second phase is a maintenance phase, where the calorie restriction is lifted and participants can eat three sirtfood-rich meals and one sirtfood green juice per day.
In addition to consuming sirtuin-activating foods, the Sirtfood Diet also encourages healthy habits such as regular exercise, hydration, and adequate sleep.
