Publisher's Synopsis
The Sirtfood diet is the new way to shift weight quickly without radical dieting by activating the same 'skinny gene' pathways usually just induced by exercise and fasting. Certain foods contain chemicals called polyphenols that put mild stress on our cells, turning on genes that mimic the effects of fasting and exercise.
These special foods work by activating specific proteins in the body called sirtuins. Sirtuins are believed to protect cells in the body from dying when they are under stress and are thought to regulate inflammation, metabolism, and the aging process. It's thought that sirtuins influence the body's ability to burn fat and boost metabolism, resulting in a seven-pound weight loss a week while maintaining muscle.
The Sirtfood Diet gives you a simple, healthy way of eating for weight loss, delicious easy-to-make recipes, and a maintenance plan for prolonged success. The Sirtfood Diet is a diet of inclusion, not exclusion, and sirtfoods are widely available and affordable. This is a diet that encourages you to pick up your knife and fork and enjoy eating delicious healthy food while seeing the health and weight-loss benefits.
