Some truths About Detox Diet Fads

You will find so many articles about Detox diet cleansing diet and this only proves that this program is a hit. I myself have written more than a dozen articles about it. However, as experts continue to research about this subject, new facts are revealed. Although I’ve always written about Detox in a positive note, here are some truths that you must know.

Anyone can try this diet, but programs that are too drastic like going into a total liquid diet or not eating meals are potentially harmful, especially if the diet is very low in calorie and contains diuretics that flush your body of important nutrients. In these kinds of schemes, much of what you initially lose is water weight and later muscle, rather than fat.

Then again, not all cleansing programs are bad news. If the Detox cleansing plan that you are following is healthy, it can actually help your digestive system by giving it a break, eliminating unnecessary sugar, saturated fats, and alcohol. It can also help in cutting down the calories that your body consumes.

So, what is a good Detox diet?

A good Detox program should provide you with calories, enough to sustain you throughout the day (around 1,200 to 1,800 calories). Remember, the diet must also include lean protein and fiber. Finally, to be safe, it would be better to consult your doctor before getting into any Detox cleasing programs.
