There is more to this diet though than just a list of healthy foods. Let's dig into everything you need to know about the Sirtfood Diet.

Sometimes a new fad diet hits the zeitgeist and all of a sudden the whole world finds themselves curious about how it works and if they should give it a try even. This week, the diet everyone seems to be discussing is called the Sirtfood Diet. Coming out of the U.K. by two nutritional experts, this new diet seems to have really risen to fame after none other than popular singer, Adele, posted a new photo of herself on Instagram this week and people cannot stop remarking on her noticeably slimmer figure.

At first glance, the list of sirtfoods allowed on this diet really don't seem all that bad, albeit, they're mostly insanely healthy withfoods like apples, kale, blueberries, green tea, citrus fruits, soy, buckwheat, strawberries, turmeric, capers, medjool dates, parsley, coffee, onions and olive oil. Thereally big ones that tend to get peoplequite excitedare dark chocolate and drink red wine, as you can still dine on these two foods while remaining a sirtfood rich regimen.

There is more to this diet though than just a list of healthy foods. Let's dig into everything you need to know about the Sirtfood Diet.

With celebrities such as Adele and Pippa Middleton said to have hopped on the Sirtfood Diet train, it has everyone interested asking how does the Sirtfood Diet work exactly. Promoted for bringing "effective and sustained weight loss", the diet is all about eating certain foods that will "activate" one's "skinny gene".Food Networkbreaks it down that all of the foods listed above contain a "natural chemical called polyphenols that mimics the effects of exercise and fasting".

If one sticks to the foods rich in polyphenols for a prolonged period of time, it can "trigger the sirtuin pathway to help trigger weight loss". Sirtuinsare specific proteins which 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."

In terms of vast research and how long this diet has actually been around, it's still very young and there hasn't been enough in-depth investigation into the long lasting effects of maintaining a diet of only these types of foods for an extended period of time.

One note that is catching the eye of the many people suddenly paying attention to this diet is that you can supposedly lose approximately seven pounds in seven days. This can supposedly be accomplished in the phase one portion of the Sirtfood Diet.According toHealthline, the diet takes place over two phases which take course over three weeks time. There is a Sirtfood Diet book that exists in which you can go by for fuller instructions and it's also full of recipes that enlist all of the sirtfoods in theirmeal plans.

For phase one, which lasts a week, it's basically set out to kind of jump start the weight loss. You basically drink three green juices per day, plus one meal, with a decrease to two green juices and two sirtfood-rich meals in the latter part of week one.

As you head into phase two, which lasts for two weeks, it's known as the "maintenance" phase in which you should continue to lose weight as you have three meals full of sirtfoods and one green juice per day. If you're looking to continue to lose weight, the book suggests that you can go back to phase one and begin the process all over again.

For some people, trying out the Sirtfood Diet might sound like a bit of a dream, especially if you're a vegetarian or someone who eats quite a healthy mostly plant-based diet anyway, but there are some drawbacks and things to think about with this new way of eating and weight loss. According toBBC Good Food, not all dietitians are on their way to promoting a diet restricted to only sirtfoods. Especially during phase one of the process, the calorie intake for that first week is between 1,000 - 1,500, which is warned that it could be awfully hard to achieve for a lot of people as that is not a lot of food and enough calories to keep up one's energy.

Also, a lot of diet experts would likely be concerned about the lack of protein and iron intake as well as how short the list is for the sirtfoods and how someone who is looking for a well-rounded diet needs to be eating all sorts of fruits, vegetables, dairy and meats or meat alternatives in order to get all the vitamins and nutrients they need. There is also cause for concern with sudden and rapid weight loss as it usually isn't the healthy way most doctors would recommend losing weight.So, before you dive all in, as usual, it's best to consult with your own physician and health experts in order to determine what meal and exercise plan is best for you and your health.
