The Sirt Diet Cookbook
The SIRT Diet shows how to incorporate tasty SIRT superfoods into your daily routine and how these foods can help burn fat, increase muscle definition and boost health.
The world of nutrition has been revolutionized by the discovery of a chemical compound naturally found in certain fruits and vegetables called ‘sirtuins.’ These chemicals control the way our bodies deal with fat and sugar, helping to reduce hunger, burn fat and boost anti-ageing health.
Not only do these sirtuin-activating foods – or, SIRT foods – aid weight loss, but they also help build muscle without any additional exercise. People incorporating SIRT foods into their diets have found their bodies get skinnier, leaner and fitter without the time-consuming and hefty price tag of a gym. The best part is that transforming your body is really easy as lots of everyday, tasty favourites are SIRT foods – like olives, tofu, blackcurrants, kale, cocoa and green tea.
Best selling diet expert Jacqueline Whitehart presents a selection of SIRT food rich recipes, meal planners and useful shopping tips to help you transform your diet and find a quick and easy way to lose weight, replacing flab for muscle definition. All the while still eating delicious favourites like dark chocolate, apples and red wine!
The SIRT Diet jumpstarts your fat-burning genes by restricting to 800 calories for the first two days of the week, and then allowing 1,500 SIRT-rich calories for the other five. Jacqueline provides an easy to follow four-week meal plan with over 100 feel-good, calorie-counted recipes packed with these superfoods, from grilled chicken with lemon and olives to pomegranate cheesecake.
So what are you waiting for? Get ready for a whole new you!

Real Food, Real Recipes and a Diet that Really Works
What Are SIRT Foods and Why Are They Special?
Top SIRT Foods: Quick Reference
The Recipes
Welcome to a new style of diet, which is first and foremost about eating more of the right foods and less of the wrong ones. The SIRT Diet Cookbook is chock-full of diet-friendly advice, planners, tips and fantastic recipes, with everything you need to start eating right today.
I’m just your average working mum, juggling child commitments and a haphazard career. Along the way I have experimented with many diets: some good (for a time); some disastrous from day one. I genuinely know how diets work because I’ve truly been there … I feel like I’ve tried them all! I know how you start the day with good intentions, feeling virtuous with a low-calorie breakfast, but are hungry by lunch and ready to scream by teatime. Finally, you sit down at the end of the day with a drink in one hand and a cake in the other, wondering where it all went wrong.
I have ended up with a new outlook on dieting and the diet industry. If a diet is all about cutting back and restrictions, it’s difficult to keep it up for long. One day your willpower just disappears, you crash and burn, and end up feeling like a failure. This diet is different; it’s all about the superfoods. SIRT superfoods really do boost your metabolism, converting body fat to energy and breaking the cycle of feast and famine by naturally reducing your cravings for junk food.
I have had to believe in myself to come this far on my diet journey. After becoming known as a healthy-eating expert by way of the 5:2 Diet, I started to let my own standards slip as family life got in the way. This led to inevitable weight gain and a huge dip in my confidence. But I’ve never been afraid to start again and try new things. I am a self-experimenter by nature so when the opportunity came along to start the SIRT Diet, I couldn’t wait. The results have been extraordinary. Not just weight-loss. My energy levels are up and my skin glows. I feel the best I’ve done in years.
The SIRT Diet is not just red wine and chocolate. It’s also green tea, kale and lots of fruit and vegetables. It’s so straightforward anyone and everyone should follow it. If you’re ready to try something new and embrace the SIRT way of eating, you won’t regret it.
Follow my simple and complete plan and lose weight, tone up and look great.
The SIRT Diet Cookbook teaches you to eat the right foods – natural and flavoursome foods as diverse as kale and chocolate – that all contain a newly discovered type of superfood, called SIRT foods.
SIRT foods are special because they are the key to unlocking significant genes in our bodies – the genes that regulate our metabolism and help us to resist disease.
The headlines are true: red wine and dark chocolate are both SIRT foods and can help you lose weight. But behind the headlines there is so much more to this diet and this is what The SIRT Diet Cookbook seeks to explain. Find out what SIRT foods really are, discover the best SIRT foods for you to eat, understand how these superfoods really boost your metabolism and control your food cravings. Best of all, this cookbook is full of simple and amazing recipes that all include these incredible superfoods. Learn how to boost your SIRT foods by adding a few unusual ingredients. Spice things up with turmeric or mellow out with chocolate – the choice is yours.
