Devotees of “detox” diets claim that they can lose a large amount of weight in a short amount of time, and then eat how they want the rest of the week.
However, detox diets are not always what’s best for your body.
For instance, there’s the famous “Hollywood detox diet”:
If you have lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and a few days worth of laxatives, you could be ready for a detox treatment.
Sure, it may help you fit in a dress for an awards show, but it’s not a healthy way to live.
Those pounds don’t stay off either, they will return as you return to your normal diet.
Also, any diet that requires laxatives is not a diet, it’s unnecessary stress you’re putting on your system.
Nature has a laxative–it’s called fiber. It’s in whole fruit as well as grains.
True detox is infusing your diet with healthy foods that are rich in vitamins and good for you. It’s not a quickie diet to lose 5 lbs.
