All You Need to Know About 2016's Hottest Diet

The 5:2 diet has had its moment - now it's all about the Sirtfood diet. No idea what a sirtfood is? Bliss are here to fill you in on THE diet of 2016.

What is a sirtfood?

Certain foods,known as 'sirtfoods' have been shown to activate specific proteins in the body known as sirtuins. Sirtuins influence the body's ability to burn fat and boost metabolism, in the same way that exercise or fasting does. So eating sirtfoods causes your body to burn fat with minimal effort from yourself.

What's on the list?

The top 20 sirtfoods are:

Birdseye chili

Buckwheat

Capers

Celery

Cocoa

Coffee

Extra virgin olive oil

Green tea

Kale

Lovage

Medjool dates

Parsley

Red chicory

Red onion

Red wine

Rocket

Soy

Strawberries

Turmeric

Walnuts

What does the diet involve?

The diet has two phases. Phase one lasts for one week and is aimed at fast weight loss - on average seven pounds in seven days. One days 1-3 dieters consume three green juices and one sirtfood rich meal, restricting overall calorie intake to 1000 per day. On days 4-7 dieters consume two juices and two sirtfood rich meals, following a specific meal plan, restricting calories to 1500 per day.

Phase two involves following a meal plan of three sirtfood meals and one juice per day. This phase lasts for two weeks and steady weight loss should still occur.

The idea of the diet is that once phase two is complete, dieters can eat their usual diet but with a few extra inclusions or substitutes to include more sirtfoods. In this way, it is a diet of inclusion not exclusion, and this kind of diet is much easier to stick to. Despite claiming to cause huge amounts of weight loss the purpose of the diet is actually to improve overall wellbeing.
