Foods that you can have in the Sirtfood diet

The other foods that are allowed in this diet are apples, citrus fruits, strawberries and blueberries. You can also eat buckwheat, red onions, kale, soy and nuts like walnuts. Matcha green tea and coffee are also allowed. You need to have three sirtfood juices every day and eat balanced sirtfood-rich meals for weight loss.

You drink three sirtfood green juices and eat one meal rich in sirtfoods on each on these days. From days four to seven, your calorie intake goes up to 1500kcal per day and you drink two sirtfood green juices and have two sirtfood-rich meals a day.

The second part is the maintenance phase and this lasts for 14 days. You lose a lot of weight around this time. You can now eat three balanced sirtfood rich meals a day along with one sirtfood green juice.

Benefits of this diet

This diet helps you lose a lot of weight. It also boosts metabolism and expediates the fat loss process. This diet can apparently also slow down the aging process.

A word of caution

This is a great diet to lose weight, no doubt, but it is not meant for everyone. You must not follow this diet if you have diabetes. In fact, you must consult your doctor if you suffer from any underlying health conditions to be on the safe side. Many nutritionists warn against following this diet without supervision. According to them, weight loss is an ongoing process and eating regular meals that includes nutritious foods like lean protein, fruit and vegetables and drinking a lot of water is the safest way to lose weight.
