Read More »Losing 7 pounds in seven days. Being encouraged to eat cocoa, and drink red wine and coffee. The Sirtfood Diet seems like it could be too good to be true – and there are some who caution that it is. Created by nutritionists Aidan Goggins and Glen Matten, who co-authored a book of the same name, the way of eating activates a family of proteins called sirtuins, or "skinny genes." This, in turn, supposedly mimics the effects of exercise and fasting. (Though Goggins and Matten recommend performing "moderate activity" for half an hour, five times per week. Critics of the diet cite a lack of evidence that the program can accomplish what it promises. Board-certified physician nutrition specialist Dr. Melina Jampolis shuts down the notion of "skinny genes." "They want to sell books, so they’re saying that there’s something magical about these sirtuin genes, that it activates your skinny genes," she says. "There are no skinny genes. I mean, you couldn’t activate them. There are people who are metabolically born skinny and can’t gain weight." Though she thinks the diet is being oversold, she is a fan of encouraging people to eat more healthful foods. Here's what you should know about the Sirtfood Diet.

"The science isn’t there in humans to support some of their claims that it activates the 'skinny gene' and can boost metabolism and increase fat-burning." She predicts the plan will "likely not" fulfill every promise, but says "if people eat more of these foods, long-term they will be healthier." According to Goggins, "The Sirtfood Diet is simply bringing awareness to natures (sic) pharmacy; why plant foods are so good for us, and how certain ones are highest in specific nutrients that we know improve how our cells function. Simply, these the foods we should be incorporating maximally in our diet." In their book, Goggins and Matten wrote of an experiment conducted at KX, a fitness center in London. They report 39 of the 40 members put on Phase 1 of their plan (described in detail below) saw "an average 7 pounds of weight loss in seven days after accounting for muscle gain." Jampolis has concerns about the validity of the trial, as the subjects were all members of the gym: "They're a motivated population. Its not the average Joe Shmoe who’s sitting on their couch thinking about losing weight."

Read More »The second phase lasts 14 days, in which followers' daily intake includes three meals high in sirtfoods, one sirtfood green juice and one or two sirtfood bite snacks, which are optional (and consist of walnuts, dark chocolate or cocoa nibs, Medjool dates, cocoa powder, ground turmeric, extra virgin olive oil, seeds of a vanilla pod or extract and water). Goggins says Phase 1 can be skipped and people can select "the path that suits them best." Jampolis questions a lack of calorie guidelines for Phase 2. Without any restrictions, she cautions "you can have too much of a good thing."
