Here’s What Conor McGregor Eats On His Diet That Activates The “Skinny Gene”

Conor McGregor's diet sounds like something we can get involved with. While UFC Featherweight Champion-esque muscles aren't exactly our body goals, our January health buzz hasn't QUITE worn off just yet - and this diet sounds very interesting. "The Notorious" took to Instagram to promote his latest diet, called the Sirt food diet, which claims to burn fat while you eat by activating the "skinny gene".

I'm eating like a king these days. @thesirtfooddiet #CheckItOut #Thanks

As well as eliminating fat, the "Sirtuin activators" found in Sirt-rich foods boast a heap of other health benefits including improved memory, muscle-building and controlled blood sugar levels. The diet, created by nutritionist consultants Aidan Goggins and Glen Matten, encourages healthy eating without putting the emphasis on severe weight loss. Here are the main foods listed on the diet.
