Today's society's concern with weight loss and control increasingly leads to the investigation of diets published in non-scientific circles, which recommend the use of calorie-restricted food plans, such as the successful "soup diets", "diet from the moon ". , “Blood Type Diet” among many others. Currently, the diet that promises the silhouette of dreams, eating chocolate, drinking wine is the sirtfood diet, more precisely the diet that made vocalist Adele lose 45 kg. Nutritionist Adriana Stavro clarifies each of the doubts about the diet.

Developed in 2016 by 2 nutritionists from England, it gained popularity for integrating red wine and dark chocolate into everyday life. Weight loss is due to foods rich in polyphenols, substances that activate sirtuin enzymes in the body. These enzymes have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action that prevent premature aging of cells.

Some foods that are part of the sirtfood diet rich in polyphenols are green tea, dark chocolate with 65% cocoa or more, red onion, berries, citrus fruits, nuts such as hazelnuts, chestnuts and walnuts, arugula, capers, chicory. celery, extra virgin olive oil, red cabbage, coffee, parsley, cabbage, dates, saffron, proteins (salmon and chicken) in addition to the well-known detox juices.

According to the authors, the loss of 7 kilos in 7 days has been proven. They ensure that sirtfoods are a set of nutrients that activate fat burning while programming our own cells for health and longevity. These sirtuin-activating foods trigger so-called “skinny gene” pathways, the same pathways activated by fasting and exercise. It is a food intake strategy for sustained weight loss and maximum health. It is an integration diet, not an exclusion diet, and the proposed foods remain widely accessible and available to everyone. This is a diet that encourages the consumption of healthy foods.

The Sirtfood Diet is based on 2 phases

Phase 1: This is a comprehensive 7-day program designed to jumpstart your weight loss. The individual consumes 1000 calories in the first 3 days. In all of them, one should drink 3 green juices and have a meal rich in sirt foods. From the fourth to the seventh day you should increase your caloric intake to 1500 with 2 green juices and 2 meals a day

Phase 2: Serves as maintenance and lasts 14 days. The goal is to lose weight over and over again. The individual can eat 3 balanced meals rich in sirt foods, plus a green juice. Both steps can be repeated as many times as you like to increase fat loss.It seems easy to lose weight eating chocolate and drinking wine, but it's not. By the way, celebrities are trendsetters in every way, including diets.

The problem with the diet is the low proportion of calories, especially in the first 3 days (1000kcal). The diet is based on lean proteins, whole carbohydrates (very small amounts), vegetables, legumes, chestnuts, nuts, red fruits. Nothing new. With regard to eating chocolate, there are 2 squares of 70% cocoa, not a complete bar, and drinking wine, there are 15ml with dinner. But of course, if you compare it to other fad diets, it encourages healthy eating like nuts, veggies, protein, and green juices, which makes it more interesting.

Remember that radically minimizing calories makes us tired, anxious, irritable and, in the medium term, can cause loss of muscle mass and metabolism stagnation. In addition, dietary restriction is linked to eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia.

However, the secret of healthy living is equality.
