Detox Diet

Claims Made
Provides a variety of body cleansing diets designed to benefit a range of different health conditions and goals.
Facts That May Be Suspicious To The Claims
People were feeling less bloated; that's simply because they're eating less food. Those who testify to glowing skin are experiencing the benefits of improved hydration rather than detoxification. As for detox enthusiasts who report a reduction in headaches, chances are the improved cranial condition can be traced to decreased consumption of alcohol and caffeine.
What TO Eat, What Not To Eat
Detox diets are extremely low-calorie, primarily liquid meals. Some, for example, advise users to consume only specially formulated drinks or raw foods, while others require cutting out carbs, sweets and proteins for a specified period—anywhere from a few days to an entire month.
How Does This Diet Compare To The Food Pyramid?
Vulnerability To Claims Of Detox Diet
People are very gullible when they want to change their bodies and lose weight. Diets especially detox diets, they will sell you their slogan to try and get you to use the diet. Women and men will try anything that they think will work.
Long Term Health Issues With Detox Diet
The biggest danger is nutrient insufficiency from protracted starvation. A person could severely hurt themselves by starving themselves.
Other Important Information
I feel that people should know that Detox diets are not healthy for long periods of time. Yes they are good if you are wanting to cleanse your body of bad toxins but to stay on this diet for a long period of time a person can starve themselves and hurt their bodies forever.
