The Sirt food diet is based on protein, promises quick weight loss, and is also supposed to strengthen our immune system. How exactly is that supposed to work?
What is Sirtfood?
Nutritional trends such as the paleo diet, shred diet or low fat 30 are out of date, now the motto is sirt food! The sort food diet, like its predecessor, the low-carb diet, is primarily based on proteins. To be precise: a specific protein called sirtuin. In order to lose weight, all you have to do with this dietary trend is stick to certain foods that contain this protein. Sounds too good to be true. But what is sirtuin anyway?
Sirtuin - what is it?
Sirtuin is a specific protein that helps build muscle and burn fat. It strengthens our immune system, also protects against diseases and inflammation in the body, and ensures that cell metabolism decreases. This means that the aging process is slowed down and you stay "young longer".

Can I lose weight healthily with the Sirt food diet?
The Sirt food diet's effectiveness has yet to be scientifically established. If you stick to the Sirt food diet for a long time, you must adjust your diet permanently to avoid the yo-yo effect. Other diets, such as the Brigitte diet, function with considerably larger calorie consumption in the first week and still help us lose weight.
