The Sirtfood diet generated a huge buzz recently after news reports linked Adele s dramatic weight loss to the nutrition programme, which famously includes red wine and chocolate. Along with personal training and Pilates, it s thought to be the secret to the singer-songwriter s gradual seven-stone transformation.
The Sirtfood diet is based around a family of proteins called sirtuins, which are involved in a huge number of bodily functions, such as regulating your metabolism.
