Summary
The Sirtfood Diet introduces a nutrition plan focused on activating the body's "skinny genes" through a group of foods known as Sirtfoods. Authored by nutrition experts Aidan Goggins and Glen Matten, the book presents a diet that emphasizes foods rich in sirtuin activators—plant-based compounds that may help stimulate metabolism, enhance fat burning, and improve overall health. Key Sirtfoods include dark chocolate, red wine, kale, green tea, turmeric, and extra-virgin olive oil. The diet is designed in two phases: a 7-day initial phase involving calorie restriction and green juice, followed by a maintenance phase that incorporates Sirtfoods into regular meals. The authors claim this approach helps promote rapid weight loss while maintaining muscle mass and boosting wellness. The book includes the scientific basis for Sirtfoods, success stories, and over 20 recipes to help readers get started.
