Having decided that it was time to lose some weight for my new years resolution, I thought it was about time I went on a proper diet.
I saw an article in the Times Magazine for the "Sirtfood" diet a few days ago and though it was worth a try. I'm generally very sceptical about all things diet related but spent £5 on the kindle book about it and decided I would go for it!
The premise is you have 3 days of 3 juices and one "sirt" meal only then 4 days of 2 juices and 2 "sirt" meals. After this you then go onto a further 2 weeks 1 juice and 3 "sirt meals".
I apologise for a daily mail link, but you have to pay to read the times one... It has a list of the sorts of food you can eat.

I started yesterday at 141.7kg and 193cm. BMI=38
Considering how little you eat for the first 2 days (less than 1000kcals) I haven't felt hungry at all and actually struggled to finish my dinner this evening. I also seem to have just as much energy as I did before which is great. Making juices is a proper faff and you need ingredients that my local supermarkets don't stock but the main meals are very nice.
Is anyone else doing or has anyone else tried this one? I will update my results on here over the coming weeks. If nothing else it's bound to work because of the calorie deficit and it certainly seems a lot healthier than my current diet. The lack of hunger might mean this one actually sticks though!

I fully agree with the above- It's really just a motivator for me to change my lifestyle and eating habits.
Well, I'm not going to win this bingo game if you don't use the word "kickstart".Forget any diets. Just eat a little less than you did last year and it's easy to change your lifestyle for good.
