The Sirtfood diet is famous for allowing red wine and chocolate on the diet.
It encourages slimmers to eat plant based foods known as sirtfoods which can kickstart your metabolism, regulate your appetite, boost muscle tone and burn fat.
The diet is based on research on sirtuins, a group of seven proteins found in the body that has been shown to regulate a variety of functions, including metabolism.
In order to follow it correctly, you must stick to a calorie restriction which can help with weight loss.

Nutritionist Aidan Goggins, co-author of The Sirtfood Diet explains: “For the first three days, you restrict calorie intake to 1,000 calories a day, which includes drinking three sirtfood green juices plus eating a sirtfood-rich meal and snacking on antioxidant sirtfood bites.
“For the last four days, you up the calorie intake to 1,500 calories a day by consuming two sirtfood-rich meals and two green juices, cutting out the bites.”
Restricting your calorie intake to 1,000 calories a day will put your body into a calorie deficit, meaning you will most likely be burning more than you are consuming and even more if you exercise too.
The first phase lasts seven days and it can help you lose up to seven pounds in seven days by kickstarting your weight loss.

Sirtfood green juice:

Juice all of the ingredients together, except for the matcha tea powder and lemon. Pour the mix into a glass and then squeeze the lemon by hand and add the tea powder.
The juice is important for the first phase of the diet as it can kick start the metabolism which contributes to weight loss.
Experts recommend only using matcha in the first two drinks of the day as it contains the same caffeine content as a normal cup of tea.
Countries where people already consume a vast number of sirtfoods including Japan and Italy, which are both regularly ranked among the world’s healthiest countries.
Other celebrities who have loved the Sirtfood diet include Pippa Middleton, chef Lorraine Pascale and Jodie Kidd.
