Publisher's Synopsis
In the research on the pathogenesis and consequences of obesity, a state of permanent over-nutrition, studies on CR have been particularly helpful. These studies identified sirtuins (silent information regulators, SIRTs) as important players in different cellular metabolic pathways and seem to be interesting therapeutic targets in the treatment of obesity and related complications. SIRTs' activities are not limited to the metabolism regulation and include, among others, control of longevity, oncogenesis as well as neurological and cardiovascular functions.
What is the Sirtfood diet?
The diet has two phases:
Phase 1 last for seven days. For the first three days, you drink three sirtfood green juices and one meal rich in sirtfoods for a total of 1,000 calories. On days four through seven, you drink two green juices and two meals for a total of 1,500 calories.
Phase 2 is a 14-day maintenance plan, although it is designed for your to lose weight steadily. Each day consists of three balanced sirtfood meals and one green juice.
After these three weeks, you're encouraged to continue eating a diet rich in sirtfoods and drinking a green juice daily. You can find several sirtfood recipes in this Cookbook. One green juice recipe consists of a combo of kale and other leafy greens, parsley, celery, green apple, ginger, lemon juice and matcha. Buckwheat and lovage are also ingredients that are recommended for use in your green juice. The diet recommends that juices should be made in a juicer, not a blender, so it tastes better.
A day on the sirtfood diet might look like this:
Breakfast: Soy yogurt with mixed berries, chopped walnuts and dark chocolate
Lunch: A sirtfood salad made with kale, parsley, celery, apple, walnuts topped with olive oil mixed with lemon juice and ginger.
Dinner: Stir-fried prawns with kale and buckwheat noodles.
*Plus one sirtfood green juice per day.
