Detox diets" part 3

So what happens if you start the detox diet?

Dramatic weight loss- at least that is what dealers claim. As far as real facts are concerned- individuals who have tried this detox diet have ended up in emergency rooms with dehydration, headaches, irritability (no kidding), and feeling like crap- but they all lost nearly 10 pounds in weight.

So what do the food experts say about the detox diet? Well, they definitely agree that everyone losses weight- but it is only water and you regain it back on the first day after admission to the hospital. The diets are dangerous, unsafe and a prescription for disaster.

These quick weight loss diets are fads and unsustainable. Junk is what most dieticians call. In certain individuals with diabetes, heart problems, hypertension etc, detox diets can cause serious complications.

The heavy marketing of detox diets gives people false promises- sure people lose weight but it is not the fat- just some water. Unfortunately, there are a lot of gullible people in this world who easily fall prey to such gimmicks.
So far, there is zero evidence that detox diets can help people lose weight. In fact, there is not a single scientific study published to prove what the manufacturers of these diets claim.

Sure people get relief of their headaches and feel energized but this is more from a reaction to starvation rather than the detox diet. If anyone is serious about weight loss, the 10 day detox diets are not the way to go by- unless you have good medical insurance that will cover your recovery in hospital after the diet. By the way that simple blend of water, lemon juice and herbal laxatives can cost anywhere from $30-$60- definitely worth a try just for the experience.
