Have you ever heard of a diet, in which no fasting is included, no counting of calories, fats and even chocolate and wine is allowed!!!
Strange isn’t it?? Well, it is not strange, its SIRT Food diet. We will talk about the SIRT food diet and discuss all it.
What is the Sirtfood Diet ?
According to the nutritionist, SIRT Foods are those foods which consist of the Sirtuin activators. Sirtuins are the type of protein which protect the cells in bodies from ageing. By eating Sirt Foods, you can gain muscle, lower down the weight and burn fat.
This diet is introduced by Glen Matten and Aiden Goggins which was fascinated by Sirtuin and its potential.
Sirtfood Diet is based on 2 phases
- The First phase goes for one week with which calorie intake limit of 1000kcal for first 3 days. During these 3 days, a diet will be three SIRT food green juices and one meal rich in Sirtfood. We will share some Sirtfood green juices list and meal in the further section. After the 3rd day, a diet will be increased from 1000kcal to 1500 kcal with two SIRT food green juice and two meal rich in Sirtfood.
- Phase two is called the maintenance phase in which weight loss occurs. In this phase, you need to have to eat all-natural food, in which 3 meal of Sirtfood diet is added with one SIRT food green juice. Nutritionist believes this is the way to lose weight sustainably.
After these 14 days, you can continue to have sirt food meal and green juice daily.

Sirtfood Diet vs Keto Diet
Keto diet and SIRTfood diets are both calorie and food-restricting diet but still, they have a major difference.
The first difference is the hunger satiation which is rarely felt in the Keto diet and in SIRTFood this is not happening.
Meanwhile, the Ketogenic diet has more scientific backing in the case of immune health and disease management rather than SIRT food diet.
