Sirtfood Diet Recipe Book

There is validity in this diet. I have tried many, many diets ranging from HCG to what I call the circadian diet (eating sugar in the morning to satisfy the brain requirements). None of these diets worked because I re-gained the weight I had lost plus I gained even more (many dieters out there will relate to this phenomenon).Why I say this diet has validity is because it taught me to be hungry meaning the first 2 days were hell for me because I was very hungry. The 3rd day was easier because I stopped craving food thus lost a few pounds. Then I went back on this diet and the first 2 days were much easier. Now, come to find out, that fasting is good for you. So this diet has taught me to fast and not mind feeling hungry.The only problems I found with this diet is it uses British terms ie. "rocket" which is arugula in the U.S. I also had to go online to convert milligrams to ounces. This diet and recipe book was written for the British public and not for Americans. In spite of this the recipes are quite tasty though I had to stay away from certain foods due to my being allergic (which I understand can contribute to preventing weight loss).I also did an online search for polyphenols which, besides cutting calories, is the basis of this diet. I found many different opinions of which foods contain high polyphenols but that's the internet for you (a lot of fake info). As a chronic dieter all I can say is try this diet as it may be for you.

I’ve added two green shakes a day as meal replacement, a lean meal in the evening and added water. I’m down 10 pounds so far and will continue until I reach my ideal weight. My HDLs dropped 50 points, my clothes fit better, I don’t have the afternoon crash and I’m sleeping better. Try it for a month and see how you feel!

This 3 star review is for the format of this recipe book not the recipes (I have not tried one yet but they look good). I bought the paperback and it is a colorless, picture- less, impossible to keep open recipe book. So disappointed. If this comes spiral bound that would be the only way to go.

This is a great tool to anybody on the Sirt Food diet. It will help you not get bored or tired of the diet because of the great variety of recipes, which at the same time will give you more ideas, on how to include your own recipes to your diet rotation.

The juice drink is fine; the rest of it, not so much: make this diet more simpler and easier to follow please.

It;s what I ordered.

not what I expected. A lot of the recipes are not in U.S. cooking measurements.

clear writing and size needs color

This is an expensive recipe book with no illustration, tiny print, small book, un-inspiring dishes focused on the Sirtuin in food. How can anyone stick to this for more than a week unless they were totally desperate? Quality of purchasing these items are questionable. Like the toilet roll saga, this diet hype has caused price of matcha powder to soar and someone must have shares in buckwheat.Much hyped and heavily promoted through many websites, I just can't see Adele would have approved of an diet regime dependent on so many packets of food! Adele may have used it for a short while and don't believe it was the main reason for her weight loss.Weight loss is easy between the ages of 18 - 40 with any diet as long as you eat small amounts of good foods. This diet would not work for people who are obese or older because of the dependance on buckwheat and matcha powder, both non-essential ingredients. If anyone drank just juice for 3 days, they would lose weight - not rocket science!Just like the beauty industry marketing itself with key words, here focus on Sirtuin is sold as the key! Beware of the hype and don't get fleeced! Sirtuin can be found in a lot of foods but a well balanced nutritous diet in small portions is the real key to weight loss.

I have been overweight since my teens and have tried and spent ridiculous amounts on every "fad" diet there has been in the past 30 years. I have lost weight numerous times (mostly by attending slimming clubs) but as most people do when getting to target I regained the weight back and more - so being at my heaviest (lockdown did not help either) and hearing that Adele's recent transformation was due to the Sirtfood Diet once again I got caught up in the media hype (or so I thought) and bought this book.My life has honestly changed since I started from day one (middle of May) and I hope to continue on this amazing eating plan for the rest of my life! I do not binge/emotional eat anymore as the green leafy juice makes me feel full and my energy levels have increased. I was a terrible cook but now enjoy cooking the selected 10 or so recipes I adore. I love spicy food so this works for me and I even put a birds eye chilli in my juice each day to satisfy my love of hot spicy things. I lost 8 pounds in the first week and because I am enjoying the food I have lost weight at a steady rate and with having a day "off" (usually on the weekend) have managed to lose 17 kgs in 17 weeks. I have had two holidays in that time and a couple of weeks where I maintained so am thrilled with the result so far. My only regret is I didn't take my measurements as I can defo feel my body shape has changed. I have another 12 kgs to get down to my ideal weight so hopefully can get there before Christmas but no pressure on myself - just need to keep going! Can't thank the authors enough. Truly life changing for me and my husband is grateful the fad diets/shakes and whatever else comes along won't be for me anymore. Thank you

I enjoyed the seven-day programme, although I wouldn't usually do such a 'lose 7lbs in 7 days'. But I lost 8! And discovered some awesome new recipes. I have continued to do the juice, and experiment with my own, and some of the recipes in the book are part of my staple diet now. I also bought the follow-up. The science is interesting if unproven; I enjoyed the book for its approach to healthy eating and lovely combinations that I wouldn't have thought of before. Give it a try.

Love this book. Their first book really opened my eyes to the power of food and I really enjoy the green juice. I lost a kilo doing the diet and it’s easy to follow the recipes and change them. For example I don’t do Joghurt so much so I use a banana or half an avocado for the SIRT smoothie. Super yum! The salads are great. The SIRT bites got taken on a ski trip and we’re brilliant. I was handing the first book out like sweeties in 2017! There aren’t any pictures so you’ll have to be patient and rely on yourself unlike other cook books but that needn’t be a barrier to such a life-changing way of using food.

After two months following the Sirt plan, I am converted. I have lost over 26lbs and a decent number of inches so far, but I feel extremely well, my sleep has improved vastly, my skin and hair are glowing and I rarely feel hungry.I stick with the 2:2 method as this suits me well. I am very happy to have tried this plan, and am now living the Sirt Food life as a staple way of eating.
