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." [/QUOTE]
