Detox Diets? Harmful or Useful??

Detox Diets? Harmful or  Useful?? 1

Detox diets are widely promoted as a healthy way to lose weight and cleanse the body. The truth is that there is no quick fix.”

 

If you’ve spent the past 5 years eating junk food, you can’t expect to be “cleansed” in a few days.


What exactly are detox diets?

Their ultimate goal is to cleanse the body from harmful substances, often called toxins. Detox diets are usually very restrictive and limited to only juices, teas or other drinks.

Therefore, if you are on detox diets, you are probably eating far less calories than your body needs to function properly. Yes, you will lose weight if you are not eating enough calories, but not in a healthy way.

So does the even need to detox? The short answer is No.

Your organs do a great job in removing harmful substances; toxicity is actually best addressed through proper nutrition, not a “detox” diet that will do more harm than good.

Focus on eating nutritious food on a daily basis, because it’s healthier, tastier, and won’t force you to starve and torture yourself like a fat detox diet would.
