Have a great exercise routine already and have no wish to change it? That’s fine. Just carry on as you are, you are off to a great start already. The SIRT Diet gives you plenty of energy (perhaps even more than normal) to follow your normal exercise plan. You should find this is the case even on jump-start days, although maybe skip the marathon that day …

Not really an exerciser? That’s OK too. Obviously as part of any balanced healthy living plan, exercise is always a good idea. At least 30 minutes, three times a week of exercise is a good minimum. However, the SIRT Diet plan isn’t about exercise and you don’t need to change your current lifestyle to successfully follow the plan.

The beauty of the SIRT diet is that just by eating more SIRT foods you are likely to convert fat to muscle – without changing or increasing your exercise routine at all. As well as weight-loss, you will find that you look and feel leaner by the end of the plan and this is due to a reduction in fat and an increase in muscle fibres. This will not be reflected on the scales as muscle is actually slightly heavier than fat. For example, if you lose 10lb on the scales, then by the end of the four-week plan you may have converted another 4lb to muscle. So your total weight-loss is ‘only’ 10lb, but you will look and feel like you’ve lost over a stone. Just wait for the compliments to start rolling in.

The only exercise ‘guideline’ you need for SIRT dieting:

Don’t worry about exercise. Just carry on as you are.
